This case was about somebody selling illegal drugs (and firearms but only skimmed). The War on Drugs has legitimized excessive policing to an insane degree (only eclipsed by the War on Terror). People continue to support this because "drugs are bad, m'kay?", which can be true, but doesn't warrant this madness. The US should have learned its lesson with alcohol prohibition but apparently too many people profit off the current scheme for it to meaningfully change. We could collectively remedy this promptly if enough of the population recognized and demanded that the better path is education, regulation, and taxation.
