Offering treatment to drug users instead of arresting them reduces crime & addiction https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/report/100723_addiction_crime_op/offering-treatment-drug-users-instead-arresting-them-reduces-crime-addiction/
When police get suspected drug abusers treatment rather than arresting them, those people are less likely to abuse drugs or commit drug-related crimes in the future, and this kind of police intervention can help reduce opioid abuse.

@TucsonSentinel it’s good for society and for drug users, but bad for police budgets, so… fuck the police, since they have known this forever as well.
