LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR PEDOPHILIA

A prominent group of former law enforcement officials announced the formation of Law Enforcement for Pedophilia (LEP), an organization whose goal is to repeal the laws against pedophilia.

"I was a police officer for 34 years, the last six as chief of police in Grossville," retired law enforcement veteran Norm Stoner told the press conference held to announce the formation of LEP. "At one point in my career, I had an epiphany. I came to the appreciation that police officers could be doing better things with their time and that we were causing more harm than good by arresting pedophiles. My position is that we need to end the prohibition against pedophilia. We need to replace our Victorian laws by following the lead of Thailand and other enlightened countries that allow sexual relations between adults and children."

The formation of LEP is ridiculous, isn’t it? Well, it’s not much more ridiculous than Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), a tiny group of former law enforcement officials urging an end to the war on drugs and advocating the decriminalization of recreational drug use.

Actually, to compose Norm Stoner’s absurd LEP statement, I paraphrased a statement about the war on drugs made by LEAP member Norm Stamper, former police chief of Seattle.

The media has made it look like there are a lot of law enforcement officers associated with LEAP. And those opposed to the war on drugs, those advocating the decriminalization of recreational drug use, and the proponents of pot are all using LEAP to justify their positions.

As a life member of two large California law enforcement associations and one large Texas association, I am sure that 99.99 percent of our police officers are against ending the war on drugs. Law Enforcement Against Prohibition is in no way whatsoever representative of America’s law enforcement officers!
