The 'we have to be as bad as the bad guys and work with bad guys to beat some other, even worse guys and that's just how Life is' narrative is a tired attempt at rationalization of shitty moral and often illegal behaviour so that a) people stop questioning the pointless and costly 'war on drugs' and b) the corrupt individuals fighting drug crimes get to feel good and unconflicted about themselves. Sorry, you don't get to do that.

Easy, guys, this is turning into a competition. People have the rights to have their own opinion, if someone like this better than Mad Max or Inception so be it.
Anyway, who am I kidding, this is a internet forum.
