It's funny though, cause your pinned tweet of the quote says something different- "As long as we have people who are addicted to drugs, who are willing to destroy their own bodies and their own lives, no amount of investment on the law enforcement is going to solve this problem."

Note how it says "no amount of investment *on the law enforcement*". That's an important distinction. There's lots of other things we can do about it. More robust mental health care. Alternatives to twelve step programs. Distribution of narcan and testing strips. Education.

Also interesting - the only place I see that quote is you, and the police union. Both of whom appear to have a bias. I don't see any reference to where or when or what context the DA said this, and that seems to be a manipulation by design to encourage hysteria.
