Hopefully this information will allow you to see what the war on drugs is actually doing. It is corrupting virtually everyone that touches it.
I bet that 5,000 is a "drop in the bucket" compared to how many police and military are actually involved. 5,000 are just the ones that were caught and expelled.
As far as not drawing those who are not involved, there are certainly a majority that don't get dirty by the temptation of easy money. Unfortunately a significant number are corrupted.
didnt you say you werent bothered about corruption in your previous thread
You don't think that spending billions of dollars to fight the drugs is not a war? What is it, children playing in a sandbox? Check out the War on Drugs Clock below. This year the US alone has spent over $44 Billion and I am sure some of that money makes its way to the DR to hire corrupt law enforcement officials.

The positive from this news is that the government is trying to fight corruption. Unfortunately, they would be a great deal more effective if they raised the salary of soldiers and police to above poverty levels. There will always be corruption but this doesn't mean legalizing drugs here in the DR will happen in the next 50 years.
They seem to be having the desired effect on you so it seems, falling for the smoke screen.
Yes because I'm obviously convinced that the Dominican system of politics is superior.
At any rate I thought you didn't let corruption bother you.
What gives now?
