Crossing our fingers that Katie Wilson’s campaign strategy will continue to succeed because we need a police chief not tied to ICE, CBP and other corrupted federal agencies, going after vulnerable people.

SPD Drug Arrests Were Part of Trump's Anti-Immigrant "Operation Take Back America"

Police Chief Shon Barnes thanked "our federal partners" for facilitating the arrests of accused drug traffickers, all with Hispanic surnames.

Criminalizing #VictimlessCrimes won't solve anything!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Not that it makes much of a difference for violent crimes like #StochasticTerrorism whether a gun was [il]legally obtained or [il]legally DIY'd. The knowledge is out in the wild and can't be destroyed or forgotten. Like the #Luty-SMG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIhGCRIQnCA The only thing that a government can do is deny the problem if not opress people or admit it's limits and instead aim towards making it more attractive to remain on the legal side by making that better.

@georgetakei personally I think the #WarOnDrugs needs to end including cancelling all #VictimlessCrimes, purging all convictions, freeing as well as rehabilitating and reimbursing those affrcted by it.

Amything else will keep the #DrugWar violent and present and increase the #harm done to everyone.

@daveystew Drug Cartels are Warlords - and whether or not they're accepted as official representation is irrelevant.

The #DrugWar could be ended any day and #victimlessCrimes could be expunged as well as #OrganizedCrime defunded - it's just that that big donors are interested in the continuation of violence...

@tvrecapsreviews ...and stop criminalizing #VictimlessCrimes once and for all as well as rehabilitate eberyone who's been affected or penalized for one!

@passenger @breadandcircuses it's a shame that #VictimlessCrimes even.exist but criminalizing good acts is just bad.

@Free_Press "punishable" sadly doesn't mean mandatory minimums.

Unlike #VictimlessCrimes like #DrugPossession...

@Astro_Jmona I think all #VictimlessCrimes need to be abolished and everyome penalized for it freed and reimbursed as well as repariated - with interest!

@hollybrigstocke OFC not.

#WhiteCollarCrime is prosecuted far less - if at all - than #VictimlessCrimes like "illegal entry" "overstaying on visa" or drug offenses...
