You know, education is also a weapon, as is financial enablement. Both are cheaper and have better results than arming the likes of the DEA and ICE, both of which have mixed results at best. Heck, even with all the money that they sink in to that, only a small part goes to the education of the people within those organisations, making it a problem stuck in a perpetual state of marginal benefits to keep it running in vicious circles. There will always be people that do bad things for the sake of doing bad things, but most of the abusive situations stem from a lack of basic physical and mental safety and the capability to resolve one's own problems.

I’m just going to have to disagree with you there my Marxist-leaning friend. ICE and the DEA both serve extremely useful functions. You might feel that your opinion reflects the majority because of over-socialization with your in-group, but the majority of Americans believe in and support ICE, the DEA, and police and law enforcement. The Internet propagates messages to the contrary, reinforced by Marxist opinion shapers and hard lefties who seem to curate much of the digital content, but outside a few large metro areas these kinds of opinions aren’t valued at all.
