The Drug War is racist, eliminates opportunities for the poor and breeds violence, the #PoliceState, abortions and more racism

The Drug War is a smash hit! That’s why it continues. I’ve discussed some of the dynamics previously here:

What if Cato held a conference on how the War on Drugs was a massive FAILURE, but no one noted that the Feds and others BENEFIT SPECTACULARLY from all the costs?

Incentives matter: Ferguson? Police abuse? SWAT teams? Roving gangs with forfeiture powers? 

“Dysfunction,” “greed” and “mistakes” are predictable results when people act in systems that absolve them of accountability for harms to others

Outrageous police brutality? Police behavior will improve if even a small % of damages must be paid from police pensions.
