Prohibition won't help Humpty Doo police station

[garywmeyerhoff]

If the public understood the true history, causes and effects of the war on drugs and the international regime of drug prohibition, they would recognise the prohibition itself as the greatest organised crime on earth.

 

Respectful law enforcement has been diminished by police involvement in the war on drugs. A special kind of divide and rule has resulted which separates police from drug users. This divide has adverse consequences for the police recruiting program.

 

The drug prohibition adds to the social isolation of police and frequently results in the corruption of police officers.

 

The war on drugs is a declared war and those captured in it are entitled to the protection of the Geneva convention on the treatment of prisoners of war. This is a legal fact.

 

The war is an initiative of the United States of America and the United Nations treaty (the single convention of 1961) is an arm of US Foreign Policy that was achieved with perjured medical evidence. This is a historical fact.

 

Many people in this community at Humpty Doo are aware of the situation. The new police station would be a more welcome development if the prohibition was ended.
