How do you know? Were you there?

I'm thinking that lessons learned from interfacing with the cops aren't always a good choice! They might bolt and then get tazed to death.

Tell them that they aren't old enough to make stupid brash decisions like that. ...And that they are just playing into the hands of folks that want to make them subordinate slaves/serfs.

After all, criminals in our own government intelligence and military are the biggest drug dealers in the world. And folks working for them rise to positions like Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense/War under both Bush and Obama. Gates covered up and rationalized our guns for drugs dealings during the Iran-Contra scandal and we the public still can't get rid of him. Yes!, both Governor Clinton and President Bush(41) were complicit to the drug dealing and coverup.
