dog and pony show losing it's zeal

It used to be that when the police made a major bust of any kind they would drag out all the seized property,run the perp walk,display a table loaded with drugs,money,guns and bundles of cash.They would have some officer with the sternest face in the division give a statement about how this was a _ year investigation costing$-millions of dollars and that it had dealt a major blow to the drug scene and to organized crime.On the street no-one even noticed.Today we saw another low in the dog and pony show era.One tattooed guy with an RCMP entourage went to the airport where they did a one man perp walk and then made the speech with nothing in the way of evidence as he was being deported by their con-air plan to rid the city from as many street people before the Olympics.This was a sad replica of bygone days when they actually solved crimes before they pandered to the public via the media.A few days ago they set up two addicts for murder by making sure the dealers they had just ripped off were aware of who robbed them and when they were being released.When the police do something like this and laugh about how much hurt these guys are in for they have sunk to using the street to attain the justice they are unable to deliver.This is a cowardly act and is no better than hiring a hit man to eliminate someone they dislike.This is just another example of the twisted logic that is the drug war and the total lack of morality or human decency that exists under prohibition.
