Of course. Drugs cause mental illnesses. It's a pity they aren't eradicated. Unfortunately, too much corruption amongst the police and high up people will not stop it.

The Thinker and you know all about Police Corruption how.   99% of Police are doing the job to their best of their ability yes there is corruption and the Police do the best they can to eliminate it but in any organisation like the police you will never eradicate the practice.   The Police are on the lower end of the Judicary you then get Solictors,  Barristers and then Magistrates,  and Judges how come you never mentioned these people.   The Cippers are the people in middle all the time upholding the law and stopping people breaking it.   If you had the guts may you would like to stand on the front line with Police on a violent Demo where bags of shiot and piss are comming over the heads of the coppers and hitting them maybe you could tell everyone how to arrest a violent crook without people filming you and second gusseing you moves.   Maybe in the end the best thing you can do is shut up because you know nothing about the Coppers who fight to do the right thing and many and I mean many end up being kicked onto the scrap heap by the very same Police Force that one served for over 20 years.   Arm Chair Heros whaqty a joke.

Blatant racism...hope someone removes your post.

Spot on. Also judges are to soft.

Sophie the rise of gangs of youths from African backgrounds is evident in Victoria and Queensland as the fight over the last couple of days shows. No amount of 'white-washing' by some sections of the media can deny that. Now many of these gang members will have been born here to people who migrated or came as refugees and there is nothing to suggest they were not properly vetted including their criminal history.

Much like the gangs of Lebanese youth of just a few years ago, their criminality has nothing to do with their cultural background or their country of origin. It has everything to do with the choices they make.
