there is one way to stop the drug war, decriminalize all drugs.

but then the pharmaceuticals industry would not have a monopoly on drugs sales.

    They used to catch people selling it. Not catch buyers... I guess the dealers are all gone or selling heroin and the cops wanted to deal with some old school crack heads. You know for that 80's nostalgia.

    I know we're here to call cops out, and obviously this is fucked and if you're the seller it isn't gonna help, but police usually arrest the "crack heads" and make (or attempt to make) a deal for info so that they can bust the sellers.

    yeah but they used to do that by watching the crackhouse and pulling them over or stop and frisking them after leaving the crackhouse. then arresting the crackdealer later. this is entrapment and should be illegal.

    Yes. I agreed in my reply that the current circumstances are bullshit.

    Crack addicts have an illness which needs treatment.

    However it's probably cheaper to go to prison than hospital in the US so maybe the cops are doing them a favour.

    Right about now the police should have other, better things to do. Also, doesn't manufacturing and selling drugs fall into the category of entrapment. Is it legal for cops to make crack? I wonder how many test puffs the cops take to guarantee purity.

    When your pay is justified by crime, the dramatic DECLINE in crime poses serious problems. So what do you do? Why, you invent the crime. Duh. Even better when the law lets you do it.

    1. Catching drug dealers
    2. Compensating the police defunding

    Pretty smart idea, killing two birds with one stone.

    the police have gangs that rival the other gangs, and the police gangs run the drug trade in some towns. People will always do drugs, so yea the cops might as well be dealing. The police gang people put ads on facebook directly for drugs, nothing happens to them. But you go and try it and see how fast you get arrested, haha.

    the movie Sicario (2015) is about this, I think they made 3 of those movies.

    when the cops run the drugs in your town they know who is on what, how much, how strong, when and where and how they buy, and if you are going out into public after getting high. If the criminals run the drugs, the cops know nothing.

    I dated a girl who was an undercover cop, she tried to get people hooked on crack, she is the one who showed me Sicario, Grifters, Wayward Pines and tried repeatedly to get me arrested. In the end she bit me on the arm, and I had her arrested, lol. But Hollywood is part of the propaganda machine, they have to make movies that tell people the truth. Like that Cabin in the Woods movie, the Harbinger, "The sign says 'CLOSED.'" People need to willingly go along with this B.S. society scam they got going on. Like, we never went to the movies, but she insisted we go see Sicario in theaters right when it opened, it was really important to her that we see it. Amazing new propaganda.

    I used to think the spy phone is OK, it's just the NSA or the military. But now local cops snoop your location and even your texts and calls using Stingray. I don't care if 'Big Brother' is listening because I'm not a terrorist. But I don't need Ernie Dipshit local cop down the block knowing what I'm buying, selling, texting, and so-forth. Democracy? I didn't vote for this! Android was OK, you can reset the device and nobody follows you for 2-3 days. iPhone is terrible! If I go anyplace, then arrive, police show up shortly thereafter, every time. I leave the phones at home, I only get followed by undercover. Take iPhone, a marked police car will pull into anyplace I drive-to and park for more than 10 minutes, without fail.

    We live in a prison. Pay taxes to the king and you get a key to your cell. I want freedom. Not the freedom to get in my car and be followed by police down every block, planes or drones circling overhead, but freedom to be myself and do as I please. People act differently when they know they're being watched. I want to act like myself, once I am allowed to do so! I could move the the North Pole, and they'd still have the ISS check on me when they flew over.

    dirty pig cops. There's not even any motorcycle gangs in my little city, if you want crack where else you gonna buy it? Police gang members. They should just sell it in a vending machine in the police service center lobby and save everybody the trouble.

    this website is honeypot bullshit. Tell the computer all your secrets, people.

    -cops make crack to catch crackheads and make a deal to catch drug dealers

    -crackheads identify the cops themselves as drug dealers

                                                          IRONY-by yours truly.
