Look, there are real drugs with real side effects that can cause aggression, violence, and psychoses. Marijuana just isn’t one of them.

PCP, on the other hand, can.

Cops need to deal with both, and all kinds of other drug users. But it also means not shooting and likely seriously injuring or killing them because of their drug use.

That goes to training and tactics.

Just because someone is high on PCP doesn’t mean that the only way to safely handle the situation is to kill the PCP user. It means making sure that the user is safely contained without doing undue harm to him or others.

It means changing how we address drug users and when/where cops should use firearms.
