You are right about the drug dealers, although most of the drug "dealers" were non-violent drug offenses with the intent to distribute.  That does not necessarily equate to being a drug "dealer", meaning one can have a large amount of drugs in their possession to consume and not distribute.  Also, again, President Obama commuted the sentences of the non-violent drug offenses, he did not pardon them.  They most likely still live on the fringes of society due to an arguably broken criminal justice system.  Also, obviously you are welcome to your opinion, but the argument in the article is based on a court ruling that Sheriff Joe Arpaio violated the Constitution in order to do his job.
