DRUG PROHIBITION A CASH COW FOR POLICE AGENCIES
Of course we in law enforcement lie about the number of drug users, etc.
(Editorial, Aug. 6). How else to force politicians to give us more money, which
means more cops, which means more promotions to sergeant or lieutenant?
As a retired police officer and a member of Law Enforcement Against
Prohibition, I know drug prohibition is a cash cow for those in police work and
they have milked this baby for 30 years, even though we have never eliminated
one drug job as a result. All drug dealers arrested or killed are quickly
replaced.
Prohibition, you gotta love it.
