ON TARGET
Dear Editor:
Mr. Randell's recent letter regarding the media not asking the right
questions are on target (What Charter?, March 19, Airdrie Echo). The police
simply won't answer questions about the failure of prohibition -- i.e. why
the price of illegal drugs is down; strength and availability are up, and
so on.
We in law enforcement know that every drug dealer arrested, shot or killed
is quickly replaced and our efforts are meaningless. However, it is not our
job to tell the public that.
That task is for the politicians who pass the laws of prohibition.
