HIGH TIME FOR A CHANGE

To The Editor:

Re "Pot smokers' defender now puts city on defensive" (news article,
Nov. 26):

Thank you, Casey Samulski, for covering this seemingly unimportant
subject -- New York City police who racially target their drug busts.
Why aren't they on Wall St., where a swift stroll through the street
can get you high? White privilege, that's why. Randy Credico is one
of the few people informed enough to understand the hypocrisy and
fiscal irresponsibility of the penal system. It's time to end the
draconian Rockefeller drug laws and to engage the police in
activities that serve democracy.
