WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, Amy, it’s like you just moved here and haven’t seen what’s going on? We local activists have been screaming from the rooftops how dealers are effectively a “protected class”,in that their arrest results in @chesaboudin immediate release without prosecution.https://twitter.com/amyhollyfield/status/1445017731015712773 …
Prosecuting drug dealers does not impact drug use, drug related crime or overdoses. It is a waste of time and public money.

What worked in The Netherlands when they had an explosion of heroin-related overdoses and drug-related crime was to decriminalize drug use and focus on getting rehab to users, while cracking down on smugglers.
