That’s a pandering comment. This was such a low brow interview. He fit in because he’s THAT CLOSE to being one himself. He’s barely any different.
      What manual labor does he do?!? He’s buying drugs off dealers! There’s no effort in that! He’s glorifying being one tad notch less lazy himself. Do you people not respect farmers?!?

      Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Thank you for sharing this point!

      Wait, what?!? Honest?!? You clearly didn’t work in that field or you’re one of the similar professional liars that develop your cognitive dissonance to your conscious and you have to convince yourself of the supposed character you claim to have instead of the person you are. You lied to dealers to gain trust. Lied to others to climb gang ladders. You’re the exact same as any other liar but you excuse it as you lied for good. Sammy the bull killed as a mafia soldier. He didn’t indiscriminately kill for no reason like a serial guy. He did it for his cause like a marine. God you people tweak twist and justify just like a tweaker! Your pathology is amazing how you will characterize yourselves! You fool the masses but aren’t the masses generally retarded😉🫣🤣 I’m sooo glad I have lived an actual life. I have life experience and I’m educated. I see right through the best liars bullshit. You guys admit you had to play the acting game better than the next guy to gain trust and not get made out! Right? Exactly 😉 come on fool, you only fool the fools!

      He loved to con and people in prison over stuff that shouldn't put people in cages for 10+ years. And he did what he did for the rush, while he admits it changes nothing. Kind of like an addict.
      Narcotics and weapons trafficking work is just a different street gang. He admits he participated in trafficking for months just for one case. He admits his work isn't doing anything, and he blames it on law enforcement, yet he can't seem to connect the dots. Law enforcement is in on the same racket as the cartels; the feds are like godfathers. People, drugs, weapons. Like never before, we see the government seemingly allowing it all. Gosh, I wonder why.
      Honest guy staying in his lane? Sure, if you mean the status quo of a criminal empire.

    • @georgereed3293
      @georgereed3293 2 месяца назад

      What I meant by 'stays in his lane' is that he realizes he is a civil servant and is given a task and does it well. He doesn't claim to be a PhD researcher examining the outcomes of his method. When he is asked if the approach is making a difference he states his view, and he has certainly earned that right.
      I'm not sure how you would gather evidence as a police officer without being involved in the process. I didn't do the same job as this guy but I did investigations and was around all facets of the process at various times in my career, often simultaneously. I know for sure the police don't target people because they don't like the cut of their jib. Usually it's to deal with a longterm history of criminal behavior.
      Finally I went university for the equivalent of 8 years. I chose to avoid research or teaching, and for the most part managing, because like this guy wanted to hands on. I do believe in the system, but acknowledge it needs ongoing improvement, especially now.

  • @RadRedhead222
    @RadRedhead222 5 месяцев назад +16

    I don't think stricter laws are the answer for the drug problem. As a recovering addict, the thought of life in prison wouldn't have stopped me from doing what I did. And I'm sure cartels out people in situations that they have no choice. Some way, some how, the addicts have to be helped, the children have to be taught better. If no one wants to buy them, the drugs won't sell. I found way out. Every addict can, but there's just not a lot of hope out there.

Amazing you people justify lying and shitty other behavior like beating people up and fucking the hookers to eventually take them down.

The fact that he’s married to a woman that understands him,and I’m sure shows him the “ other side “ of what he must be dealing with everyday - I assume this is his first and ONLY wife speaks volumes - . He has three kids that are all exemplary decent people , and many grandchildren is his payoff . I can’t imagine being surrounded by that much love, and respect. His humility shines through as well. I have no idea how this came up on my screen this morning, and why I watched it. This was an eye opener in respect to how invasive ,and dangerous this job must be. Kudos to this man . Ps.

I know that LSD isn’t the type of major drug that most people think of like cocaine heroin (or nowadays fentanyl) but I’ve heard that the group that synthesized and distributed LSD nationwide (out of the Bay Area, 70s-90s) were so discreet and disciplined that the major players were never caught and cases never got beyond the mid level distributors? Idk if that’s actually true but it’s what I’ve heard 🤔 I would have thought that it would be the Colombians or the Mexicans or maybe LCN but it was interesting anecdote to hear.

    In its pure medicinal form, fentanyl is a life saver for pain management. After extensive surgery, in burn treatment and others such as severe pain from incurable cancer, it helps. I've been on fentanyl patches a few times. Went on, then went off with no problems. Lets not forget that either as doctors are now growing very careful in prescribing it, even for terminal cancer patients.

He did the same job as a lowest hanging fruit easy street buy,except he just filled out paperwork filing after the buy. Thats the same as packing and packaging up like the dealer. Hours at home at night preparing for the next day. He’s trained liar to fool dealers and hookers etc. these guys admit they have to become the same to integrate in and deceive and fit in. Cannabis growers are farmers right? You respect farmers hard work? Please tell me how they don’t do ten times the hard work as an undercover buyer?? Weed growers are ten times the hard worker than even plumbers and most average Americans in the work force. And they have to do all the jobs, trim harvest pack dry farm plant clone water, measure nutrients etc.

      As with all cops he can’t see the forest for the trees and his failed belief that the laws are the problem is juvenile. In 1980 the US was this incarcerating 180 people out of 100,000. By 2016 we’re incarcerating almost 700 out 100,000, far more than any other nation in the world. Each prisoner costs the taxpayer around $40 grand per year to house.
      We’ve made zero headway in the war on drugs and have lost the war. This guy loved the OT he was paid to arrest low level dealers.
      I heard a great quote from a prison warden who was sick of the overcrowding in his prison. He said “we have to start differentiating between who we’re mad at and who we’re afraid of.”
      No easy answers and I don’t want violent people on the streets but after 40 years of the failed war on drugs there has to be more prevention and less incarceration. We always have prison beds but waiting lists for recovery beds.
      Breakdown of the family is also responsible and that’s a tough one.

      These low street dealers have the easiest job. No research or planning to walk up and buy, he admitted he didn’t even do the arrest which is the dangerous part!

There was a girl recently who overdosed on fentanyl laced marijuana given to her by a dealer. Dealers are adding it to a lot of things to have the "best stuff" on the local market. It's very dangerous. I'm glad I've been sober for a long time, nowadays people are hooked on things they can't get off, the stuff is too strong. Not sure if anyone will see this comment, but if you are using please think of your life. Basic things that helped me...getting away from people who use, some therapy, books like 30 Days to Sobriety by Harper Daniels (a mindfulness guide), The Easy Way by Carr, and the Tao Te Ching, diving deep into hobbies, and doing intense exercise.

She actually said she likes it because it’s even better with the fentanyl in it. I just haven’t been talking to her because I know one day I’m going to hear about her death so I’m just trying to distance myself before it happens. She is losing her teeth and she’s probably less than 90 lbs now, she’s a few months older than me but she looks 10 years older.

      What manual labor does he do?!? He’s buying drugs off dealers! There’s no effort in that! He’s glorifying being one tad notch less lazy himself. Do you people not respect farmers?!? Farmers don’t work hard?! Guess what cannabis growers are ten times the work ethic and actual labor than this guy did!! The higher up mid level dealers have to work harder than him to elude him!! How do your pea brains not compute this easy math?!? He admitted himself he’s like them in many aspects. Only difference is he the. Filled out paper work after the buy, but no hard labor! Paperwork is the same as packaging up drugs. Driving home from a buy staying undetected is the same as the supplier driving home from his bigger source! Use your brains people!
