Violence and the War on Drugs
See the war on drugs does cause violence.
Many May look at this DEA agent and laugh (be careful he's armed with a lawyer), maybe we should run when someone comes to talk to us about drugs. But how many innocent victims have been casualties of war? If a DEA agent in a controlled environment can't even control his gun, what are the chances of something going wrong when six or seven of the go into a house in a high intensity situation. Then what about the homeowner? What if they hit the wrong house (what you think it has only happened once)? And what if that homeowner has a gun? What if they do hit the right house (what you think it has only happened once)? In a high intensity situation it is sometimes judgment goes out the door.
In the end it is us the taxpayers who pay for this, we have a drug war that creates more violence then it prevents. We need to wake up and rethink our solutions.
Really should any cure do more harm than the illness?
