If that neighborhood was visited by church members, food banks, needle exchange vans & others showing them good-will (people that look like me, showing them good-will)......then perhaps i would be welcome to walk in that area.

Instead those people get visited by overzealous nazi-police on a daily basis. Who shake them down, beat them, shoot at them & virtually treat them like animals....all under the premise of stopping these "evil drugs".

The drug war is used as a tool to keep the racial divide as strong today (if not stronger)....as it was before the civil rights movement.

Of course these are just my opinions. I don't claim to be an expert. Just my life experiences.
