Yet Another Failure in the War on Marijuana

The horror stories continue unabated in the federal governments war against marijuana. See this story: Police Raid Maryland Mayor's Home and Kill His Dogs. How sad this story is, and how completely unnecessary. Notice this doesn't happen with regulated drug markets such as alcohol and nicotine. See Radley Balko's commentary on this story too.

And this is not an just isolated, never-happened-before-and-will-never-happen-again incident. Such commando-tactics are used all the time in the government's failed "war on drugs". See Cato's map of "Botched Paramilitary Police Raids: An Epidemic of Isolated Incidents".
