" legal interventions to disrupt the drug market may actually boost rates of drug-related violence"...

This of course is not the only supporting evidence that drug policy is skewed. New Zealands appearance in the 'murder rate' runoff should be no surprise.
 
And as for Greg O'Conner's dismisal of the United Nations reports on TASERS, "look at yourselves, Greg." When you lie and cheat in court and out, dont expect the public to fawn at your feet. They hate you and yours for your double dealing ways.... Get honest with drug policy in particular alcohol and cannabis and redeem yourselves.  Bad policy causes dead cops.

Would Len Snee be alive or dead today if cannabis was a regulated and controlled 'class D' drug...

Instead we get "D" for not thinking about it... D for Dead.
