Another Black Agitator

A Black agitator was sowing the seeds for the Dallas eruption eight years ago. The agitators name is Matthew Fogg and he is a retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshall and DEA Special Agent. The interesting stuff begins about a minute and a half into the video (after the greetings and self introduction).

If you don’t care to watch the video here is a short transcript from a slightly different version of the video.

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, but statistics 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.

Did Hillary skating make you mad? Well how would you like to watch that same scene over and over (with different participants) for decades?

And I might add a personal anecdote. What turned my 96 year old mother against Drug Prohibition? One of our relatives in New Jersey got locked up for dealing drugs. What has made me so rabid on the subject? My brother Jeff was collateral damage in the war. He got gunned down by gang bangers in Oakland, California in 1974.
