WAR ON DRUGS ERODED PUBLIC'S FAITH IN RCMP

Re: "New RCMP Operations NCO: Criminals Are Not Safe"

This mountie-PR piece is sickening in that it is touting the police as
the solution to the country's drug problems, when in reality, drug
prohibition is the problem.

The RCMP even admit that most of the property and violent crimes in
this country can be connected back to drugs, but they refuse to admit
that prohibition is the cause of, not the solution to, the whole problem.

All science, history and common sense show this beyond a shadow of a
doubt, but the Horsemen will flatly refuse to admit that the earth is
anything but flat.

If Sgt. Warren Brown wants to see the RCMP get the public's respect,
trust, and confidence, they should start being more honest about the
science and math of drug prohibition. It is their adherence to this
counterproductive, ideologically-driven, and quasi-moralistic "War On
Certain Drugs," which has eroded the public's faith in the RCMP.
