THEY TOLD THIS DEA AGENT NOT TO ENFORCE DRUG LAWS IN WHITE AREAS
‘BATMAN‘
While the War on Drugs may have sounded like a good idea at one time, the consequences have been catastrophic. From physicians persecuted for providing health care to their patients to parents grieving the loss of their children to overdose or prison — we’ve all become victims of this war. … Colleen Cowles, JD.
The story of a former DEA agent, a decorated law enforcement official who rose to become a dual US Marshal and DEA special agent, shares his disillusionment with the drug war despite his initial enthusiasm for high-intensity, ‘war-torn zone’ policing tactics. He notices a stark geographic bias, pointing out that their operations mainly target urban areas, even though data shows significant drug use in wealthier, predominantly white suburbs.
When he questioned this, the person in charge explained that arresting the children of judges, lawyers, and politicians would cause immediate political backlash and shut down their task force. Mr. Fogg argues that the entire “war on drugs” is primarily about race, asserting that true equality in enforcement would have ended these punitive policies decades ago.
“war on Drugs” is not about combating drugs
Former DEA Agent Matthew Fogg reveals a deeply troubling picture of racial bias embedded within the Drug Enforcement Administration. The agent’s account offers powerful evidence that the “war on drugs” is not about combating drug use but rather a tool that disproportionately impacts minority communities, protecting the powerful and affluent from the same legal consequences. America’s War on Drugs has played a profound role in reinforcing racial hierarchies.
Although Black Americans are no more likely than Whites to use illicit drugs, they are 6–10 times more likely to be incarcerated. Helena B. Hansen, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at New York University, examines the recent history of White opioids to show how a very different system for responding to drug offending to White drug use has developed, where addiction is mainly treated as a biomedical disease.
Meanwhile, more than a dozen drug use management programs among people of color have remained in place. At this seminar, Dr. Hansen argues that public concern about White opioid deaths offers an opportunity to shift U.S. drug policy toward public health for everyone—and to make proven harm reduction strategies widely accessible—a punitive system.
Criticism of Enforcement: The interpretation of the corresponding responsibility act has been criticized as enabling the pharmacist to act “as a cop,” which results in the withholding of medications without putting anything in writing
In this argument, Disinformation occurs when medical community members warn providers about DEA information, but they are ignored or purged from online disinformation, which is insidious. Either strategy, if a lie supports their position, or science is being silenced.
It underscores the need to critically examine law enforcement practices and to pursue equal justice for all. The agent’s (Fogg) personal journey strongly condemns the system.
Furthermore, Fogg criticizes how the “War on Drugs” was enforced to target and incarcerate Black citizens, a policy he felt made him a “slave hunter” rather than an equal opportunity enforcer.
The central argument of Agent Fogg is that the “war on drugs” is not applied equitably, targeting primarily urban minority areas. Mr. Fogg noticed that when he entered the “war room” where they decided which cities to target, “most of the time it always appeared to be urban areas.”
This observation led him to question why affluent, predominantly white areas were not targeted to the same degree, as he notes, “Statistics show they use more drugs out in those areas than anywhere.”
DEA’S SUSTAIN AND SILENT TARGETED WAR ON DRUGS AGAINST HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS OF COLOR
UNEQUAL ENFORCEMENT LATE DR. WALTER F. WRENN, MD
THE DEA’s SYSTEMIC REGULATORY RACISM
The drug war is totally about race
Ours is the only country (USA) stupid enough to have its policy regarding pain management/prescriptions, opiate use set by law enforcement rather than physicians. Federal Agent Matthew Fogg contends that the unequal application of drug laws is deliberate and rooted in racism. He argues, “What I began to see is that the drug war is totally about race.”
“It’s about, and it must be ended.”
He further explains, “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.'”
This statement sadly suggests that if “The War On Drugs” had equally impacted white families, there would be pressure to end it due to their more substantial political influence. This shows that the people in power do not prioritize black people’s kids as they do their own.
‘LOSS OF OVERTIME PAY’
THE BAT IS BACK
Despite the extreme retribution and threats he faced, Fogg concludes by asserting the spiritual and moral imperative of his protracted fight for justice and reveals his political aspiration to run for Congress.
