RETIRED COP RECOMMENDS ENDING DRUG PROHIBITION
As a retired, Michigan police detective and student of history, I
will bet my pension on an effective strategy to dramatically end half
the violence in Windsor; namely, end drug prohibition.
Windsor and other cities in Canada are increasingly being the victims
of drug trade-related violence. Near Lansing, a solid 75 per cent of
my felony case load (as a detective) touched drug prohibition. You
know the path to take. All you need now is the courage to act.
