Maybe. But it would sure save a lot of cops' lives by arming them better than sidearms and shotguns against assault rifles, sub-machine guns and .50 cals. It would also mean a lot more drug dealers off the streets and actually afraid of breaking the law. It would also mean that it doesn't get to be used by the rich and the famous despite their status, not making it seem 'cool'. It would dry up the drug trade efficiently, not unlike the Anthrax trade and the Uranium trade...Maybe we are lucky I'm not in charge. But maybe the people running this 'War on Drugs' should start taking it a lot more seriously than they have lately.

No. You know what would save a lot of cops' lives? Not sending them off to fight a dumb war that's a direct result of our own prohibition laws and our irrational fear of drugs. 

Your "solution" would be disastrous in more than one way. You're suggesting we spend even MORE money on it. Like we haven't already wasted innumerable amounts. And you're suggesting we send police officers out with military-grade weapons. Yeah, [i]that'll go well[/i]. Because if there's one more thing we need, is more death! And cops with more, bigger guns! Yes! Great idea. Let's turn our borders into Afghanistan.

I'm sorry I have to be so sarcastic and condescending, but I honestly don't know how else to react to this.
