1. Neither do I...
...however, I do have a problem with the police abusing their badge and their power. BTW - my late father was a police officer.

2. Actually I _do_ have a problem with police nailng drug abusers...
but I don't blame the police. They just enforce the law. I blame the draconian drug laws we put up with in America.

4. "nailing drug abusers"?
Well first of all, your post seems a bit of a trolling expedition, but lets see what you actually have to say.

Do you think that the 30 years of the War on Some Drugs has been an effective use of our tax dollars? Has it accomplished anything other than enriching organized crime and the drug enforcement industry, and incarcerating hundreds of thousands for economic crimes without anything other than voluntary victims?

Are you 'for police' regardles of what the police actually do?

I assume that the rape issue applies to the Duke case. I'm all in favor of allowing such cases to be tried in court rather than on the nightly scandal shows or on the blogs. Rape should be reported when it is rape and not reported when it is not rape. Not all rapes are reported and not all reported rapes are rapes. Duh.

5. What does getting 'nailed' mean?
Edited on Fri May-05-06 10:57 AM by ugarte
Do you mean lock drug users up? Build more jails? We already have a bigger inmate population than any country in the world, save maybe China. How many more would make you happy?
