Speaker 1

Hey, I'm Greg Glad. I'm Clayton, English and this is a war on drugs, Quick fix Clayton, I have the crazy store. I'm about to tell you, Okay, yeah, all right. I mean that that's kind of what we do over here is true. Yeah, I always got a crazy story. If I feel I'm gonna surprise you to this, you know it's something yeah, yeah, high yeah, yeah yeah yeah, I don't. I don't think we can get much crazy

what you get. This one really gets in everything we've been talking about with the militarization of police, these swat rais and kind of how ham fisted and you know, people going in just not knowing what's happened. So here it goes so Henry County. It's right outside of Atlanta. It's a rural area in Georgia. Mcdonnaugh I think, yeah, they have a swat team. They're on on a drug rate. It's twenty eighteen. They have a no knock warrant for an accused drug dealer. We know this because their body

cams and every officer, every cop has one. Wait for the bank flashmans are going off. One guy just throws one randoming into the woods. It seems like just s's just to pop one off, just for fun. It's just kind of like Roman candle style. Um. They throw flash banks in the home of seventy nine year old Nrie Norris. They grab Henree's arms. Seventy nine year old man has heart problems. They twisted back and handcuffed. Um. Here's the thing, seventy nine year old Nree Norris was not the target.

They had the wrong house. They walked right past the target house without clearing it, so the no knock was for the next door home and headed to the tree line for the next house on the street. Henri's just watching television squeaky clean. I think his daughter said, He's never even had a parking ticket in his life. They hit a house with a different color. It had a separate driveway in its own mailbox and the names of the people are on the mailbox. Well, you just got

missed it. Um. Henri had, like I said, heart conditions, could have killed him, either from either force or just the shock of that. Imagine. I mean, you've got explosions going off in your house, You're doing it in flash bangs. You You've got a whole team of people with guns drawn like, yeah, and here's the kicker. They turn off

their cameras right when they realize that they fucked up. Yeah, they they don't know how cameras work, right, And again we're talking about what they did, and you know, seeing this video just completely destroyed. Man. I hate to see things like that. I feel bad for that man, like just living his life. And all of this is possible because of the War on drugs. Yeah, it is absolutely because of the War on drugs. And this could happen

to you know, any of us. It's that it's that getting in that front door, Like, how is this even an option to be able to do this? Even if they got the right house or anything, you know, they got everything else, right. Um, the fact that this is even a possibility is only because of the War on drugs that we can have a no knock warrant and raid someone's home because the suspicion of committing a crime.

This is what the War on drugs does. It allows for these you know, civil liberty violations to happen all throughout, regardless they have the right guy or not. War on drugs touches everybody. Even in this case, this is somebody who doesn't even have anything to do with drugs, but still found explosives in his house and his dark kicked in. I'm Clayton English and I'm Greg Glad and this has been a war on drugs Quick Fix, thanks again for listening.
