Toure, MSNBC contributor, and civil rights activist listed things that a “post-police future” will need to have and one of them was drugs for everyone.
Toure wrote that a post-police future must include the legalization of drugs, especially marijuana at the very least.
A post-police future also needs widespread legalization of drugs, at least marijuana. Let the state control and regulate distribution. That’s the only way to crush the underground market which is the source of much crime. End the War on Drugs by legalizing.

Toure even doubled down on making drugs illegal as he got into arguments with other nutty liberals that legal drugs will be too expensive.
No. Drugs that are legal will cost less (the underground market has to price in the danger in bringing drugs in & the drugs they lose). If there’s a legal market, the underground market will not be able to survive. We saw this with alcohol. There’s no real illegal whiskey market. https://t.co/YH4qEhoOnc

Toure also believes we don’t need to have armed police officers 80% of the time:
“Don’t need armed officers showing up for 50-80% of calls, which are mental health or overdoses. Don’t need armed officers for driving traffic & parking enforcement, noise & nuisance complaints. Don’t need armed officers to investigate most crimes, from robberies to murder.”
100%. https://t.co/ieQwr8JQ6d

Although if this post from Toure is any indication Joe Biden is going to have a hell of a time dealing with those on the far left as well.
There was no truce. The defund side is being asked to just go along with getting shot a little less often. https://t.co/FJYkSDaRyn

According to Toure, it’s actually the police that creates the criminals, not thugs breaking the law.
Policing is criminogenic. It creates crime and criminals. Please factor this into your fear mongering about what would happen without police. Subtract the violence and the crime of police (murder, assault) and the criminalizing of certain citizens from your post-police vision.

This is your modern-day Democrat party. By the way, I’m showing all of these posts from Toure so you can see just what the heck we are dealing with.
