This man with severe ADHD and learning disabilities, post-traumatic stress disorder, and deeply entrenched drug addiction; with no employment skills; with no history of successful human relationships—this is one of the culprits the police devote their time, skills, and energy to investigating and arresting; about whose misdeeds prosecutors versed in the law gather evidence; whom socially conscious and poorly recompensed legal aid defenders assist; and whom learned judges admonish and repeatedly incarcerate. Such is the War on Drugs.
