It’s almost like drug addicts are still people who deserve to be treated like people. Throwing them in jail and subjecting them to police brutality does not help anyone except the fake numbers game of the police. If you really want to help people with addictions you have to be willing to work with them and treat the problems at the source rather than resort to punitive measures for no reasons.
If you arrest the users they’ll give up the dealers
That’s policing 101
Arresting drug addicts in the war on drugs is part of how the US ended up with 25% of it’s population imprisoned. End result? Same amount of drugs.
Criminalizing drug use does literally nothing except lead to the death of democracy.
Your percentage is off.
Recent sources put US prison population at ~2 million, with about that much under other supervision conditions.
US population is at ~342.75 million people.
Good call, got some wires crossed. The US contributes to 25% of the entire global prison population
FTFY
Treat it like the public health issue it is, not something to involve the judicial/carceral systems
That widely known to not work that way.
You’re stupid
I want you to know that, but I want you to feel it, where it really counts
You’re a shitty person because of your stupidity
You could just be stupid, but you’re that awful combination of stupid and shitty
And is ineffective. Didn’t you watch The Wire?
No I watched breaking bad
They went after the one drug user (badger) and eventually it led all the way up to the Heisenberg guy
Do you not remember his name?
Ya Heisenberg
Say my name
Mr. White?
SCIENCE! YEAH!
dumbest comments I’ve seen all day are all from you
I’ve had this user tagged as “anti-science troll” for ages.
Last time was from just a comment chain under a post but it was just as bad as this whole thing.
I’m just amazed how many people are on the side of the drug addicts
addicts need help not prison
