EVERY DRUG DEALER ARRESTED IS REPLACED

Editor:

Corruption of police officers and drug task forces seem to go hand in hand in Texas these days ( 24th and 25th task forces, Tulia, Dallas Sheetrock scandal, etc.  ).  How sad for my profession.

Lt.  Stan Bonewitz ( March 31 Wilson County News ) of the Department of Public Safety might have added that it really does not matter if drug dealers are arrested or not.  All cops know, but few will admit to the public, that every drug dealer ever arrested has been replaced quickly.  Thus, arresting or even killing them does not put a dent in the supply of drugs or drug dealers.

Prohibition, you gotta love it.
