Cops on the Hill: Stories from the week of January 28, 2022
Posted February 4th, 2022 by hiwayhowiePainful Reality: A Washington state staffer had a question I needed to research to find the answer: what organizations support the federal drug decrim bill?
15 minutes later I could only find these groups: ACLU, DPA, Open Society Foundation and the NACDL (national assoc. of criminal defense lawyers). The NAACP, CBC (congressional black caucus), etc are silent on the topic. Discouraging it was.
