captain gleiser, want to go back to you, speak to me for a moment. every time i walk through the french quarter or new york city, or l.a., you smell pot everywhere you go . tell me the role of drugs in all of this, the legalization of drugs. we just had colorado, which legalized the use of hallucinogens. i mean, what burden does this place on cops trying to maintain order and enforce the law? well, when you re trying to deal with behavior, i think that allowing people or encouraging people to use drugs and to alter their behavior, make it even worse, cannot be a good thing. there s reasons for us having the drug laws that we ve they re not good things for us . and i think encouraging it is causing more problems than the freedoms that people think they want to have. with that, there are penalties and consequences for we see it all the time with alcohol. we have to have a lot of problems with dwi and other issues with alcohol.
dwi with alcohol and now we re going to add to it and make it worse. it s amazing to me. the public pays the consequences, not the perpetrator. a final quick question. bran don, i ll start with you, people in l.a., new york, hiring personal security squads. is this the answer to public safety in america today, brandon? it s going to end up being that way because if you continue to de moralize, dehumanize, and not give them the tools that are necessary and the support that s necessary to do their job, you re going to have nothing left. police departments are decimated. people are leaving the force. people aren t signing up anymore and this is the result of bad policy. i m hoping that one day people get their act together and allow police officers in america to be police officers again and we wouldn t have to have people hiring their own independent security force. it s a waste of money. people are all paying taxes.
