Wooldridge CONSTABLE GIVING FALSE HOPE Editor: As a retired police officer I was dismayed, but not surprised, that my colleague RCMP Constable Richards counsels patience to 'win' the war on drugs. He and I know that every dealer busted and every grow-ops busted is quickly replaced. This has been going on in the States for over 35 years. We have spent a trillion dollars and arrested 36 million people (like arresting the entire country of Canada) and still drugs are cheaper, stronger and easy for our kids to buy. Patience? Stop giving the citizens false hope, Cst. Richards. OFFICER HOWARD J. WOOLDRIDGE (retired) Education Specialist, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Washington, DC - --- MAP posted-by: Steve Heath
