In a staggering report last month, the Department of Justice documented pervasive abuse, illegal use of force, racial bias and systemic dysfunction in the Minneapolis Police Department.

Complaints about police abuse were often slow-walked or dismissed without investigation.
Solution: Legalize drugs already.
And tax the fuckers
Weed’s legal in CA (don’t get me wrong, it should absolutely be legal federally. I actually fully expect Biden to campaign on it).
Any time there’s a highly regulated market, there’s going to be a black market.

Obviously that’s not something that’s feasible to do overnight though.
Fucker ran on it last time!

As if the president could waive a wand and make it legal. He pardoned everyone in federal prison on possession.
Caveat: there wasn’t actually anyone in prison on possession at the time. Which isn’t to say it didn’t send a message to supporters of the drug war.
As if that’d be the first time a candidate has campaigned on something they can’t actually do
