Because, other laws are not 'lucrative' or beneficial to criminals in the way that drugs are.


Example, if murder was suddenly legalized...there is no way to benefit financially from that.

Has this been established? Or was Brown just trying to flee the scene? Also I'd like to know if there is more video that hasn't been released. The video that has been shown on the news is shaky and to me is not clear that any cops were in danger of being run over. The one cop that appeared to come in contact with Brown's car happened while Brown appeared to be turning his car away from the cop.

Being lucrative to criminals is not why we do or do not have laws.

It IS why drug laws are in place today though.


You dont have to believe me, look it up yourself, the CIA, FBI, DEA have been in cahoots with the drug cartels for decades, the CIA has profited immensely in the 1980s and 90s from drug smuggling, heck, they have even made movies about it!


Same things going on today too.


Dont you find it kind of odd, in all these years, they havent been able to shut down or stop any of the drug cartels? LOL Gee, I wonder why?

Yes, by the NC SBI. It's also clearly shown in the video clip.

Oh good god. We haven't been able to completely eliminate ANY crime, nor does anyone with a brain think we'd be able to. That's not why the laws exist.

I did not see this on the video I watched. The only cop I saw that came in contact with Brown's car looked like his arm touched the right side of Brown's car while Brown was steering his car to the left apparently attempting to avoid hitting that cop.

When you bolt the scene towards cops in a car and disobey their orders, you're going to get shot.

That's police 101.

No cops were in danger of being run over by Brown.
