voodooman I'd like your opinion on the war on drugs

Touchy subject but I will say this first. It provides me with job security.

Here in the city I live in we have 5 K-9 units available to us 2 of them being City property or officers. In the county there are probably around 10 K-9's.

Now we have that many interdiction officers PLUS a narcotics unit that soley look for drugs. Every rookie that walks through the front doors of the PD wants to work drug interdiction, but its a art. It takes more than just a dog to find drugs.
Drugs will ALWAYS be around so I believe the term 'War on Drugs' was designed to not only make the public think that the gov is doing something, but to further cloud their minds as to what the gov really IS doing about it. As for how many here are true warriors, well, One of the Highway Patrol Special Ops troopers recently recieved an award for most dope taking off the streets in Oklahoma. So far this year he has got 3.7 million in cash, 100 pounds of coke, 6000+ pounds of weed, 113 pounds of meth and some other drugs. He is a walking K-9. Other than him there are probably only 3 that are true drug interdiction officers.
