I think he's asking what is the nature of the word "drugs"? He's trying to get the police to consider the Kripkean question: Do you have a strict definition for "drugs" or does it refer to objects in the world through direct reference?
Watch the original video on the news website, it's nuts. Fox 11 sets a high standard for sensation/entertainment/ridiculousness. I've only been to LA a few times but... those people need help, even the sober ones.
I hear it more like, "What do you consider to be drugs? Because if you're going to call meth a 'drug,' then yes, but if we're limiting it to pills, then... maybe."
