I was discussing the Drug War with a friend of mine. We got to talking about Drug War racism. He said that a friend of a friend was in the anti-narcotics bureau in Chicago. He says they discussed the subject in depth. The deal is he said, “Blacks have no protection.” If they started arresting according to drug crime rates whites would complain to their government critters and the gravy train would be over. He (as related by my friend) also talked about how the Drug War was a huge cash cow for the police.
My prediction? This will not last.
