Re "Pot smokers' defender now puts city on defensive" (news article, Nov. 26):
Thank you, Casey Samulski, for covering this seemingly unimportant subject — New York City police who racially target their drug busts. Why aren't they on Wall St., where a swift stroll through the street can get you high? White privilege, that's why. Randy Credico is one of the few people informed enough to understand the hypocrisy and fiscal irresponsibility of the penal system. It's time to end the draconian Rockefeller drug laws and to engage the police in activities that serve democracy. |
