Why not just shoot em them then, Johnny?
...Since in your judgement they are so worthless?
If rehab doen't work (which it clearly DOES in some cases), then what does Jail do? If you are only protecting "me" from "them", why not just shoot 'em?
I'm not advocating that I should rehab them, that's not my job (BTW, I cut down trees for $$), but that the system doesn't do what YOU want it to. Every day (or not ) you "deal" with these crack-o's, and every day there is more and more of them. You arrest them, they get out, commit crimes, you arrest them, they get out, commit crimes... See a pattern?
If the money I waste paying you to do this was better spent on education and rehab the pattern would not be so prevalent...
I'm not rocket scientist, but hey, if it looks like shiit, smells like shiit, ...it just might BE shiit!
I will continue to arrest them nightly until they get locked up a little longer each time. A day, then a month, then a year, maybe two. The longer they are in jail the longer they can't carjack or rob innocent people that got lost on their way to the freeway.
Unless you own a home in Seattle, you don't pay me anything. If you do, I would like a pay raise please. Doing the job that I do with the respect given by people like you, I definitely need more money for this.
Not a rocket scientist? Hey, there's something we agree on.
