It’s unfortunately a vicious cycle. Because it’s illegal and there’s still


a demand, there’s profits to be made which eventually leads to violence in protecting those profits. And so the police are prepared for violence and on edge and more apt to commit violence. Which of course puts the dealers more on edge and more apt to commit violence.
It feels to me that at least a reasonable avenue to pursue would be to not break down doors or even threaten to. If you think of suspected drug dealer is in the building wait for him to come out. If he sees you and destroys all the drugs in his apartment well those drugs are gone. Certainly he might do it again but repeat.
I’m being more than a bit facetious, But there has to be a better way then what those officers did. While I certainly do not condone cocaine use, taking and selling drugs are non-violent incidents. Initiating Confrontations between police and people who fear police and are likely armed, introduces violence .
