Quote:I think you are correct. In both cases I linked, the police suspected drug dealers were inside. At the rick of being accused of race baiting, I find it interesting that the man in the first case is black and was indicted, the second man is whte and was not indicted. The difference may be that other officers were also shot by Guy, and they are in different jurisdictions. Still, both instances stink. Men lost lives over something that should not even be illegal.

 

I haven't look at both articles thoroughly but it wouldn't surprise me if that's the main difference. There's no denying by anyone that's being honest that the war on drugs targets blacks more then anyone. It's a big reason I don't understand the black communities blind faith in the democratic party which is just as guilty of pimping the war on drugs. One only has to look at the difference in sentencing between crack and cocaine to know the objective of the war on drugs. 

 

It'll eventually end just like prohibition of alcohol ended so will the prohibition of narcotics. Either we will realize as a society you can't legislate morality or we will go broke trying. One way or another it'll end.
