How to Fix a Drug Scandal (2020)
Biased? Who is really biased?
Reading the reviews of this documentary is almost as interesting as watching the film itself. It would seem to me that those exhibiting bias are the ones who are saying "you need to take druggies off the street" or "Xmas comes early for the dope dealers". Seems to me that a 7 or 8 year sentence for selling one $20 bag of her ion is more than a little harsh. But I'm not sitting around polishing my police badge or playing with my gun either. None of these drug dealers ever took an oath to "uphold the law", unlike a few of the assorted District Attorneys or Attorneys General depicted in the film. That goes double for the state police charged with investigating the case. And it goes triple for the judges who oversaw the whole system. Thankfully this state still has a Supreme Judicial Court that shows off pretty well in the film. Not all the Attorneys General or District Attorneys are bad. Some seem great, there are a few meatheads which are easy to spot depending on ones own personal biases I suppose. But hey, they were all guilty anyway, lock em all up, throw away the keys.
Whatever happened to the legal principal or principals that this country were founded on? Like: everyone is entitled to a FAIR trial? But I guess the cops and the district attorneys can bend or even break the rules because hey, they are all guilty anyway? Better the cops and district attorneys determine guilt or innocence, why do we waste time with judges & juries anyway? Maybe we should just bring back lynching? Those were the good old days eh?
How one analyst can do thousands more tests than another, and not be called out; or who decided that it was a good idea NOT to drug test people that work in drug labs? These are the real questions.
Who are the truly guilty parties in this fiasco? I guess that all depends on your personal bias?
