Why nobody turns to the cops for help anymore

Every time I think I’ve heard every low-down, stupid, mean, insane, or evil story that could possibly come out of the drug war, I get another surprise.
I’ve known Mona online for awhile. She’s been a vocal opponent of the drug war — I collaborated with her for Prison & the War on Drugs: Just Say No at Glenn Greenwald’s Unclaimed Territory a couple of years ago.
Mona’s gone through some very tough times. In a calmer state of mind, and knowing what she already knows intellectually about the drug war, she probably would have taken a different road than I Inanely Took on the Drug War Ö And Lost.
But, my God, aren’t the cops supposed to work… for us? What kind of sick dysfunctional system allows this?
