Extremely disappointing to see the lack of accountability and compassion from municipal leaders here.
“there's no correlation between our actions and the overdose events so no one's holding us to blame for that,”
Counterpoint, saying “we’re not to blame” does not exonerate you.

Honestly, it's a form of copaganda for the media to present police corruption and violence, which happens everywhere, as unusual and shocking.
The details change, the level of violence and corruption changes, but it's always there.

It's so infuriating to see governments encourage the consumption of the drug most likely to result in violent crime and a whole host of other social problems, while punishing people who use other drugs.
