The “war on drugs” was always a front for corruption and criminality from its very conception, and never were any of the consequences “unintended” as the narrator suggests. Furthermore, a “world without drugs” is such an outright stupid statement that it all but entirely devalues the rest of the video, and that was only 43 seconds in.
Law enforcement in Portland is >82% non-local, and the leadership has been quoted admitting on-record that presence and response were decreased in order to show the city government that the police force “deserves more money”. Yes, that is correct: our own police bureau attempted to shake down the very community they’re employed to work in.
Instead of passing the buck and whining, ask yourself these questions. Why aren’t you doing more? When’s the last time you personally sought out organizations to volunteer with? What have you looked up in your local library, etc. to educate yourself on the topic recently? Are we doomed to continue shaking our fists at the sky from the safety of our fenced yards?
GTFO here with this inflammatory cowardice. Engage with your community, stop acting like a terrified Republican stooge.
