Let’s be honest and admit that the police focus almost all of their energy on the war on drugs, because that is where the money is. half of all murders go unfolded but if you have pot in their home then they will do their level best to find it

I agree. Before the War on Drugs, overkill and other kinds of police abuse really were isolated incidents. Canada never launched a War on Drugs. Even though the same kind of substances that are illegal in the U.S. are outlawed in Canada, there's been little overkill. In the most violent drug-related arrest in the last decade, in 2005, the police were victims. There hasn't been a similar case since.
