I spent the best part of the hour today talking to a police officer.
While drug addiction isn't a crime, committing a crime while on drugs still should be.
Unfortunately judges are NOT holding people accountable and sending them back to the street.
Dismissing the crime because they are an addict??
The police are
NOT THE PROBLEM.
We need MORE in patient, lockdown facilities and people need sentenced to programs that work JUDGES need to do their job.
Additionally we need to create housing and Training, upon release. Follow up care.
These individuals have only survival skills, they don't know how to get a job and hold down an apartment and pay bills... They need training!!!
People are straight up stupid by
Turning someone back to the street and expecting them to stay off drugs.
If this was the BLACK PLAGUE we'd treat it different.
Blessed by God
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn
Thanks for stopping by and
Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails
