Who is incarcerating people for a dime bag? I can't even get a narcotics detective to take my call if I'm not talking pounds.
And I'll let you in on a secret. The resources donated to drug enforcement ARE focused on violent crime. We know there's dope dealing everywhere. A decent narcotics detective could make busts literally anywhere in the county, some bigger some smaller, but literally everywhere. But they aren't evenly distributed. They are targeted in the areas where shootings, etc. erupt over the drug trade
