I have had a situation arise that has caused me to consider just what are the details of “drug related murders” of young, urban black males.

Having been arrested on drug related charges my daughter was given the opportunity to “narc” (become a confidential informer) on someone else. In exchange for this the arresting cop said she would receive reduced or dropped charges.

This seems rather circular in results .If she narcs on someone, they narc on someone else, that person narc on her. It is like musical chairs that ends only when someone won’t or fails to successfully narc on someone. Having all committed the same offense it seems unequal justice is being administered.

The only purpose served seems to be to increase the involved cop’s arrest record at the expense of valuable resources and the lives of those involved. My daughter’s drug friends having all been arrested and offered the C.I. (confidential informer) program they know she was offered the same. She received one death threat as a result. Told of this the arresting officer said she could narc on someone else. It seems to me the police and the courts do not take the crime seriously as they only prosecute those who don’t help their careers.

As I said, she had received a death threat. It seems to me then that the C.I. program is responsible for a number of what have been termed drug related murders. These could just as correctly be called police related murders.
