This fuels the disproportionate policing in inner cities,


so what you're saying is "aint no drugs, aint no thugs" and if there "aint no thugs, aint no police"?

I don't disagree that the WoD is no a solution for the most part, but son, your ability to tie causality to outcomes is pretty limited. You need to go back to the drawing board.

i'm not sure what you're saying

i'm saying the black market created by the WOD leads to violence. due to the drug markets and close proximately of living in inner cities, the violence is much more frequent and condensed. this means a larger police presence in this area, with a more likely violent population being policed, leads to increased clashes.

When Reagan declared the War on Drugs, drug use was actually on the decline. Many "states rights" conservatives objected forcefully to the over-reaching new federal legislation at the time. Many local police forces did not understand or want to be involved...then DC started pouring in the cash bribes. Fast forward 20 years and you have a militarized police force and an almost entirely imprisoned class. Hard to ignore something that never even had to happen.
