no excuses/ I would take an objective look at the problem and try to alleviate the cause. I would not create a system that makes it profitable. I would not continue to pour money into something that has never worked. Prohibition causes every problem the war on drugs claims to be helping. In Iran they execute drug smugglers, yet they have a debilitating heroin epidemic. We must accept human nature as it is and not how we wish it was. There is a huge market for drugs whether you want there to be or not. The more you crack down on it, the more profitable it becomes. If you apply heat to a close system, pressure builds until the vessel fails. If my sandcastles kept getting destroyed by the tide, I would not get angry at the ocean and move closer to the sea and build more elaborate castles out of spite. We are wasting billions of dollars and causing havoc in our society. prohibition causes chaos, now, as it did in the 20’s and 30’s.

The local departments might not make a lot of money but the Feds get paid well for what they do. If local law enforcement want to make better money for doing the same thing that the feds do then go to work for them. DEA has trained their agents to be the creme de la creme of liars to get what they want from people.

OPEN YOUR EYES!!! Have you missed all the news reports on the shootings happening in Pensacola? Drug dealers and their customers shooting each other. Rival drug dealers killing each other and innocent people caught in the cross fire. Have you missed all the crimer(thefts,home invasions,burglary) reported on the news? Drug users stealing to feed their habits. Come work with me on an ambulance for a week and see how bad drugs are in our county and then maybe you’ll be glad this scum gets arrested. Not arresting them would be like not arresting rapists for raping or killers for killing. Ludicrous! Don’t want to arrest them then let them live in your neighborhood and out of ours.

It would seem these local “entrepreneurs”, along with others were trying to “stimulate”
the local and regional economy. It’s just a shame when the initiative to break the law is thwarted, stymied, and shut down. Thanks to our law enforcement agencies for standing between us and the thugs.
Merry Christmas and Happy 2015!

Tammy – where are you getting your information? The CO’s I know don’t make what teachers in the Escambia/Santa Rosa County area make. I think both career classes are woefully underpaid for what they do. That being said, what’s your solution, if not to arrest and imprison the drug dealers? What should be done with them?

40+ thousand a year to house each of them. keep stuffing those prisons full. keep paying correctional officers more than teachers. stay the course.
