At what cost, Andrew? It's putting an incredible burden on the legal system and public defenders, it's criminalizing people in their own neighborhoods where zero tolerance focuses, it's wasting millions of dollars that go to police and the prison-industrial-complex rather than rehabilitation or economic re-distribution, and it potentially violates the civil rights of individuals--not to mention making cops more aggressive and brutal.

I'd be curious if you felt the cops in NYC were justified in pumping an unarmed, man of color--Sean Bell--full of bullets?

I get the impression you'd be happy to live in an absolute police state, huh. Oh, wait...!
