LOST WAR ON DRUGS AND ITS CASUALTIES

When you lie down with dogs, often you will get up with fleas. Yet
another in my profession (Megan Mattingly) has been tainted by the
enforcement of drug prohibition. Add her to the many, many thousands
who have been corrupted or killed, or who have committed suicide after
being corrupted. And for what? We in law enforcement know that every
drug dealer arrested is replaced within days. The nine suspects
released (or even if they had gone to prison) are meaningless.

A trillion tax dollars spent and 40 years of serious effort have
resulted in a Maryland free of drugs? No. Quite the contrary. Drugs
are cheaper, stronger and readily available to our teens.

Please tell this reader again why you support this Bridge to Nowhere
policy.
