TIME TO END FAILED WAR ON DRUGS
Speaking as a retired police detective and member of LEAP (Law
Enforcement Against Prohibition), I heartily concur with the NAACP
that it is past time to terminate our failed war on drugs also known
as the war on people -- mostly of color ("The NAACP is calling for an
end to the drug war; what about you?" July 31). My profession, which
is shrinking all over America, must return to its true mission of
public safety.
If you have a drug problem, see an addiction clinic.
