Back in Saddle, Preaching Drug Legalization
October 05, 2005
By Corey Kilgannon
Source: New York Times
New York -- After blowing into town yesterday on a one-eyed painted pony, a lanky Texan named Howard Wooldridge looked a bit beleaguered.
He had just arrived in Manhattan from the West Coast, but not on the red-eye, having left Los Angeles on March 4 on horseback and riding some 3,300 miles to New York. He rode, he said, about 25 miles a day, six days a week.

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition

The items posted here describe the growing disillusionment with the War on Drugs in the law enforcement community, the growing support for reform, and some of the ways in which the Drug War corrupts police forces and encourages a war mentality that is at odds with a police officer's intended role as an officer of the peace.

DRUG PROHIBITION A CASH COW FOR POLICE AGENCIES http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03/n1215/a10.html?397

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.
