Like when there's a major heroin bust they're like $125,000 worth were taken away from the premise
why do they let us know the value of the drugs
 
People want to see where their tax dollars are going.
People want to see what the police are doing.

To say that the deparment took $x# of drugs off the street is positive news....It's a lot different than most of the things the media choses to report on.
 
Most people have no idea how much a kilo or cocaine is. They might know what a kilo is, but have no idea if that means a minor drug dealer was taken off the streets, or if this is a major arrest. It simply gives you an idea how big a deal it was.

It's no different from saying a fire or flood or storm caused X number of dollars in damage.

They aren't really, it's usually an inflated estimate.
They are trying to justify the endless, disastrous and job creating drug war.
They've been waging it for generations. Keeping themselves gainfully employed, drug lords wealthy,crime high, addicts hooked and given politicians another barbarian for the gates.
