The War on Black people / War on drugs satisfies the needs of too many americans who profit and wish to continue the implementation of New Jim Crow. Portugal's Drug Decriminalization Policy worked, but private prisons, drug treatment centers, police departments, DEA and a host of other entrenched institutions would be laying off 100's of thousands of employees the moment real legalization and treatment initiatives become standard nationwide. Simply put the cure is a profit and job killer and the free market can't have that.

Maybe they can whip up a live action Cowboy Bebop movie.

A man in Florida laid on the ground with his hands up and still got shot. A man licensed to carry complied with an officer's orders and still got shot. Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. Facts based on statistics clearly show black men are 9 times more likely to be shot by police then others. This truth can not be disputed.
