Removed From The Front Page Of Reddit: DEA Higher Ups Told Agents Not To Enforce Drug Law In White, Wealthy Areas (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

 

(N.Morgan) In a shocking revelation from Matthew Fogg, a former US Marshal and special agent for the DEA he exposes the corruption in the Drug Enforcement Agency and its biases towards the citizens they were either arresting or not arresting.

 

Apparently, white privilege pervades the department and now it is being brought into the light.

 

In the video segment, Fogg makes a startling comparison between the so called ” War On Drugs” and literal military wars and conflicts in the world. 

 

 

 

 

He stated

 

We’re talking about Gotham city. …

 

We were jumping on guys in the middle of the night, all of that, swooping down on folks all across the country, using these sort of attack tactics that we went out on, that you would use in Vietnam, or some kind of war-torn zone.

 

All of the stuff that we were doing, just calling it the war on drugs.

 

And there wasn’t very many black guys in my position. So when I would go into the war room, where we were setting up all of our drug and gun and addiction task force determining what cities we were going to hit, I would notice that most of the time it always appeared to be urban areas.

 

That’s when I asked the question, well, don’t they sell drugs out in Potomac and Springfield, and places like that?

 

Maybe you all think they don’t, butstatistics show they use more drugs out in those areas [rich and white] than anywhere.

 

The special agent in charge, he says “You know, if we go out there and start messing with those folks, they know judges, they know lawyers, they know politicians.

 

You start locking their kids up, somebody’s going to jerk our chain.” He said they’re going to call us on it, and before you know it, they’re going to shut us down, and there goes your overtime.

 

What I began to see is that the drug war is totally about race. If we were locking up everybody, white and black, for doing the same drugs, they would have done the same thing they did with prohibition.

 

They would have outlawed it. They would have said, “Let’s stop this craziness. You’re not putting my son in jail.

 

My daughter isn’t going to jail.”

 

If it was an equal enforcement opportunity operation, we wouldn’t be sitting here anyway.

 

It’s all about fairness, man.

 

And understanding “How would I want to be treated?”

 

Whether I’m on the one end, or the other end. How would I be treated if everything was done equally?

 

 

 

 

So does this point to the Drug War as being another racist part of the system? 

 

Or is it more proof that the Drug War is nothing more than a farce to control the American people?
