This is another good Report to share.

All the money we save on stopping the War on Drugs can be used for mental health teams to call when someone is in crisis. We know we should have people to handle these situations instead of the police. That too will save lives, because the average police officer is in way over their head when we expect them to deal with the mentally ill.

Thanks Thom! You are truly doing your Lord's work [Sorry, I'm an Atheist].

I wish that you would have also mentioned the fact that Nixon made Elvis an honorary [Narcotics] agent on the grounds of the WH. The hypocrisy is overwhelming.

Also how nicely this piece fits in with COINTELPRO and the Ideology of Nixon's domestic surveillance programs!
