Some non-trivial number of cops and judges have said that they regret their involvement in the war on drugs, and want the war (or at least some parts of it) ended.

I expect part of it is people who don't want to admit they were wrong, but there's such incredible stubbornness about every atrocious detail of the war on drugs that I'm inclined to suspect that organized crime is part of why the war on drugs doesn't end.
