Record Cocaine Seizure in Sylmar
The 20-ton seizure of cocaine in Sylmar is valued at more than the entire U.S. federal budget to fight against drugs: Small wonder that the drug lords stand together against the Colombian government, resorting to intimidation and assassination to protect their power and wealth (that come) from the worldwide users of drugs.
That same wealth, like the poisonous drugs they peddle, has tainted some of the law enforcement agencies enlisted to fight against the flow of drugs as borne out by the recent suspensions and the continuing investigation of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and other police departments around the nation.
Bring back the guillotine.
