The Gates/Crowley fiasco is just another case of another arrest without a crime victim. Crime victims are mostly irrelevant in today's justice system. Police make little to no efforts to aid any actual crime victims recover damages. Crime victims are background characters to justify police intrusion in everyone's lives. Since over 80% of crime and 90% of violent crimes involves banned drugs and there are no actual measurable standards for restrictions of any drug in this country as to harm and risk, crime victims are manufactured by government policy. The irony is that police hunt down the drug war's biggest victims: the drug addict.

Addicts to street drugs are society's biggest victims. They get “complimentary” street drugs often before age 13. These drugs would only appeal to seriously hard core addicts in a legal regulated market with free market options. Anyone who becomes addicted has to pay black market prices including upwards of 10,000 percent profit margins. Nicotine is the Gold Standard for addiction – yet smokers who commit crimes to further their addiction are nonexistent. The source of crime is black market profit margins – caused by drug policy.

People acting in good faith don't call the police – except as a last resort. Police intervention riles up neighbors and any “solution” involving police makes one dependent on police – which is exactly what Barney Fife cops desire. Even in fictional monochrome Mayberry Barney Fife used profiling and got in the face of those in the social margins. Racism has little to do with profiling! The Andy Taylors of police organizations who actually try to solve real problems are endangered as people become disconnected from neighbors.

Obama is sending a clear message to young people about how adults solve problems: they bond while using drugs. Unlike adults, 13 year olds can't get beer and wine. They get street drugs – thanks to policies that are “not open for discussion” by the “peoples' president”. Is this a great message for our young people or what?
