Society as a whole will begin to earn respect back for police when they go after dangerous criminals rather than people who possess small amounts of drugs in their home. I don't wanna see a war on the citizens which is exactly what the war on drugs is and I dont want to see a war on police tiehr because we need protection from true criminals. We need to restore the bond between the public and the police force, ending the war on drugs would be a big first step.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008154498818034496.post-23727144053164325572009-02-18T04:08:00.000-05:002009-02-18T04:08:00.000-05:00It's time to get tough on crime.

The answer couldn't be more obvious. We allow violent predators to walk amongst us and are too quick to forgive them for their violent past. Then we are shocked when they strike again. The criminal justice system is where the failure lies. The legislature needs to amend more laws to have stiff minimum mandatory prison sentences and take away the District Attorneys ability to plea out these cases by choosing to not prosecute the minimum mandatory charges. Violent criminals should be prosecuted for every crime they commit, stand trial for each violent/gun crime they commit and serve the entire punishment for each offense they commit. The more crimes they commit, the longer they stay off the street. You carry a gun illegally, you do five years. If the serial # is filed off when you're carrying it, you do five more after that. If that gun is stolen, add two more years to the 10 he's already getting. If he commits a robbery during this case, add 5 more years. Now the robber with the stolen gun is locked up for 17 years instead of being out in less than 2 to kill a young policeman. He's a stone cold killer before he kills.... keep him in jail where he belongs. The laws are already in place. The system doesn't use them and we can't see that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
