Ahh, yes, but the seemingly impossible task of "securing" our southern border will stop the fentanyl crisis.

Secure what? When law enforcement itself, and even state and federal level officials, are a conduit for smuggling and dealing drugs? I want a secure border, and FYI, the Trump Fence was one of the few things I staunchly agreed with Trump about. It probably would have only slightly slowed things down, not stop it. You see, where big profit is to be had, human greed and utter lack of integrity, works against the best of plans. This cop CEO, dealing big time in drugs for example. Then there's Trump buddy Steve Bannon sucker punching Trumpers regarding funds for the fence. The drug attacks on the USA, isn't limited to the southern border, JFYI. Then you got citizens with money lust, and who don't really care how they earn their money, helping cartels. While the USA is fixated on immigrants and minorities as the problem regarding drugs, it largely ignores the biggest contributors to drug abuse.

I still favor the Trump Fence, if for no other reason than it is better than No Fence. But big profit, is practically a guarantee it won't stop the trade. Simply because of, money lust, AND, the almighty supply and demand marketing reality. It can be stopped only when people get enough sense collectively to stop poisoning themselves.

OK Republiars, begin your attacks.

You want it even tho you admit it would only be a slight improvement? That's precisely why we should be spending the $ differently.

Sometimes things are so bad, I want just curl into a fetal position;
Just curl upon my bed and cry.
But then, I regroup my spirit, and I recover my constitution;
Pick myself up again and try.
Because I know, sometimes, that something;
Is better than giving up and doing nothing.

I may not like Trump overall, but in this case, he was the first political punk that actually attempted to do something tangible about the problem. I wish he had succeeded. But he was sabotaged as much by his allies as by his opponents.

Gold star for trying, I suppose. I'm not a "please do something, anything" guy.

No two guys are alike, we're individuals. And some of us can step beyond our comfort zone. Others are crazy enough to try to tickle a rattlesnake's belly. I once tried to smoke dried milkweed leaves, to my utter dismay. We're all different, you see?

Delta Air Lines Pilot is Mistakenly handcuffed, shoved in shower and interrogated for more than an hour - after FBI and DOD agents broke into the WRONG hotel room during training exercise

A man was handcuffed and interrogated inside his own hotel room for roughly an hour after law enforcement agents went to the wrong room during a training exercise.

FBI and DOD agents knocked on the room occupied by a man - a Delta Air Lines pilot according to WBZ - in the middle of the night and burst in, holding the man in cuffs for 45 minutes before they realized their mistake.

The mishap occurred just after midnight on Wednesday on the 15th floor of Boston's Revere Hotel.

An FBI official told DailyMail.com their agents were assisting in a DOD mock investigation to 'simulate a situation their personnel might encounter in a deployed environment.'

EMS was called to the scene to evaluate the man, according to WBZ, and he told the outlet he would be speaking with his employer before publicly commenting.

After he opened the door, the group barged in and began a nightmare interrogation scenario.

The agents handcuffed him and placed him in the shower.

The pilot was handcuffed for more than 45 minutes until the agents realized their mistake, took the cuffs off, and apologized to him.

Wrong place cop invaders seem to be happening more and more. Often with fatal consequences to innocent people. I'm not even sure these events are accidents, given often cops lie about their conduct, even when cameras show they're lying.
And they repeatedly get away without even a slap on the wrist.

I’ve had my door busted down with the police getting the wrong address. Thankfully it was for a call of someone having a heart attack and not domestic violence.

I've been on rideouts with cops. I got a genuine appreciation of the job they do. I have had some traffic tickets mysteriously "lost" prior to paying the fine, or having my money returned due to no record of a violation. Probably the work of my rideout buds. I once upon a childhood, wanted to be a cop. The problem now is that PDs are riff with all kinds of people on a power trip. Whether fatties who were bullied in school. Or bigots who can act on their bigotry without consequences. Or, in the case of certain Black recruits, feel or are pressured to show how blue they are. As a matter of fact, back in the late 70s, there was a newspaper article where a PD captain said, "The one thing Black recruits have to understand is, they're blue first, and Black second." I never forgot that quote. PDs won't change until there is an aggressive movement to weed out the unfit, and keep them out. And stop playing pattycake with cops who repeatedly violate the law themselves.

The biggest enemy of a PD is protecting someone who is going to spotlight them with bad behavior. They can fix the problem themselves.

And in the cleft of heaven I scan
The giant form of a naked man,
His eye is like the burning brand,
And he holds a sword in his right hand.
All is not well. By dint of spell,
Somewhere between the heaven and hell
There is this night a wild deray,
The demon spirits have wander'd this way.
