A huge portion of the LE abuse of power incidents are driven by their obsession with the failed war on drugs. They will do almost anything to bust somebody with drugs. This obsession drives them to rape and abuse people. Here is an example.

But it is not really their war. They are being pressured to "do their job". I do think you have a point but I do not think the officers are the ones to blame.

Most countries in the world have stricter laws against drugs.
Hundreds of drug dealers are executed each year.

So Sodomizing someone or forcing them to eat their baggie of pot is "doing their job"?


That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day

Phoenix officers accused of forcing man to eat marijuana

So what?

Lots of countries execute gays. That doesn't make it right.

What most countries do is immaterial. Abuse of LE power is the worst crime possible.

In this case it wasn't their job to sodomize somebody without a warrant and a medical professional.

And when I use the term "LE" I'm including ALL law enforcement. That includes DAs and police management.

I was responding to the OP's comments. I did not view the video's as I did not recognize the sites.

I doubt the video's support the OP's claim of "A huge portion of the LE abuse of power incidents are driven by their obsession with the failed war on drugs. They will do almost anything to bust somebody with drugs. This obsession drives them to rape and abuse people. Here is an example."

There are bad people and there are bad people in LE.

Google Law Enforcement abuse of power and read about it. Much of it is about drugs. Almost all civil asset forfeiture (LE theft) is about drugs. A huge number of the failed SWAT raids were about drugs.

The failed war on drugs is responsible for most LE abuse of power.

I can provided lots of examples.

You can give all the examples you want. It's much bigger than failed war on drugs. The problem with today is that too many people have no clue of the ins and outs of a particular field and think they have the answer.

What you have provided is only 1 example of what CONTRIBUTES. There are so many factors that contribute well beyond drug busts. Many of those who participate actually volunteered to get on such specialized units, as a result of their OWN interests and time/grade in service. And this interests well may have started way into their high school years in wanting to chase and beat up bad guys- not realizing that this mentality often bleeds over into beating up the GOOD GUYS.

It's really not a good look for you.
