New York Post - By EDMUND DeMARCHE - A Bronx man who was shot during a chaotic police shootout in Harlem this past weekend is planning a $20 million lawsuit against the city and the NYPD. Larry Garlick, 38, says he was the victim of "contagious shooting" by the NYPD when a bullet tore into his thigh in the early morning hours of Aug. 8. Police said they were responding to a report of a fight at a huge block party where there had been gunfire. Police initially said that Angel Alvarez had shot and killed rival
Luis Soto at the Lenox Ave. party, but testing showed Soto actually died from police bullets and hadn't been shot by Alvarez. Police now contend that Alvarez had wrested Soto's gun away from him and opened fire at responding officers, who unleashed a volley of 46 shots in return. By the time the carnage ended, Soto was dead from five bullet wounds, and Alvarez was critically injured but miraculously survived, despite being hit 21 times. Three bystanders were also injured, including Garlick. The lawsuit charges the NYPD failed to properly train personnel to stop themselves from "contagious shooting."

Point: The federal government has no authority to ban drugs. For proof, I offer the 18th amendment. IF it required an amendment delegate the power to ban intoxicating liquors, it requires an amendment to grant the power to ban drugs or anything else for that matter. Federal drug laws are just more lies perpetrated on the People in order to usurp authority.
I'd explain why the feds don't have punishment powers outside those granted but that is something that one who reads and comprehends the Constitution should be able to determine without outside help.
