Non-violent

As more felons are released from jail because they no longer need to post bail the phrase non-violent drug crimes come to the surface. This is a misleading, bordering on non sense statement. While the person using the drug may be non-violent the drug business is certainly not. Most of the violence in the big cities is caused by drug dealers fighting over turf and they are the suppliers to the non-violent users. When these criminals are released many will go out an buy drugs becoming in essence customers of the turf fighters. Add to that, those who are shooting each other and innocent by-standers in the process are not be arrested and jailed. Looking at this from above the fray, it appears like an episode of Key Stone Cops. For you youngsters the Key Stone Cops are fictional, humorously incompetent policemen featured in silent film slapstick comedies
