#3 Acceptable losses of the urban economy drug wars. Increase police presence? No, that would be racist. Let us concentrate on 'regime change' in some remote African or ME shi*hole. The urban based, drug infested, entitlement society will police their own, you'll see.

#10 In a city of 2.7 million people, a relatively small number of criminals — perhaps 5,000 to 10,000 thugs and drug dealers

So they've got a division's worth of thugs on the streets.
