Louis Theroux: Law and Disorder in Philadelphia

h/t Tim Lynch at Cato-at-Liberty. This is a "mini-doc" (apparently) that aired on BBC2 last week. I've watched parts 1 and 2 of 6, so far.

In the doc, the journalist, Louis Theroux, is traveling alongside PPD officers in North Philadelphia, witnessing the effects violence and drugs have on this great Cradle of the American Republic. My interest in this, setting aside the Philadelphia connection, is my belief (shared with people like Tim Lynch at Cato) that much of the violence in our cities is a direct result of the Drug War, and that we won't see any real improvements in our cities (crime wise) until we put a stop to this asinine jihad.

Part 1 of 6 below, and plenty of anti-drug war literature via the Cato link at the top.
