#1 Is growing coca illegal? A handful of coca leaves is not that potent. I saw coca fields all over Peru and Bolivia, circa 1973. Locals chewed it like some of us chew tobacco. I remember buying mate-de-coca tea in Seattle.

These folk screwed up when they killed cops. Now they are the "enemy" being army reserves wont help them. It also means they are SOL too I would guess. I would imagine the "specialist terrorist police" will be called in and the wet work will begin.
