There is a misnomer here....there is no such thing as "harm reduction" when putting this crap into ones body. Just doesn't work that way, we are simply enabling the problem to not only fester but to multiply. Hard to argue with the results of this plan.

For any of the do gooders out there, I would tell them the same thing, I told my left leaning (and I am a moderate) nephew when we get into discussions on prison reform and policing tactics, " Go join Chicago, Philly, LAPD etc. and request to be assigned to the toughest precinct" to understand what is happening on the streets. Crickets.....By the way, Philly PD like may communities, is down hundreds (900 last I heard) of officers and the average tenure is three years.....One officer left Philly joined a nice suburban department where people wave and say "hi, how's the family" very supportive of local PD. Compared to his patrol in Philly and going after the drug dealers, who eventually put a bounty on him....easy decision to leave. Net result, the good folks trying to get through their day doing the right thing and working 2-3 jobs to keep the family together are the ones really paying the price.
