Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Greg Glad. I'm Clayton, English and this is
Speaker 1: a war on drugs, Quick fix Clayton, I have the
Speaker 1: crazy store. I'm about to tell you, Okay, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: I mean that that's kind of what we do over
Speaker 1: here is true. Yeah, I always got a crazy story.
Speaker 1: If I feel I'm gonna surprise you to this, you
Speaker 1: know it's something yeah, yeah, high yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think we can get much crazy
Speaker 1: what you get. This one really gets in everything we've
Speaker 1: been talking about with the militarization of police, these swat
Speaker 1: rais and kind of how ham fisted and you know,
Speaker 1: people going in just not knowing what's happened. So here
Speaker 1: it goes so Henry County. It's right outside of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: It's a rural area in Georgia. Mcdonnaugh I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: they have a swat team. They're on on a drug rate.
Speaker 1: It's twenty eighteen. They have a no knock warrant for
Speaker 1: an accused drug dealer. We know this because their body
Speaker 1: cams and every officer, every cop has one. Wait for
Speaker 1: the bank flashmans are going off. One guy just throws
Speaker 1: one randoming into the woods. It seems like just s's
Speaker 1: just to pop one off, just for fun. It's just
Speaker 1: kind of like Roman candle style. Um. They throw flash
Speaker 1: banks in the home of seventy nine year old Nrie Norris.
Speaker 1: They grab Henree's arms. Seventy nine year old man has
Speaker 1: heart problems. They twisted back and handcuffed. Um. Here's the thing,
Speaker 1: seventy nine year old Nree Norris was not the target.
Speaker 1: They had the wrong house. They walked right past the
Speaker 1: target house without clearing it, so the no knock was
Speaker 1: for the next door home and headed to the tree
Speaker 1: line for the next house on the street. Henri's just
Speaker 1: watching television squeaky clean. I think his daughter said, He's
Speaker 1: never even had a parking ticket in his life. They
Speaker 1: hit a house with a different color. It had a
Speaker 1: separate driveway in its own mailbox and the names of
Speaker 1: the people are on the mailbox. Well, you just got
Speaker 1: missed it. Um. Henri had, like I said, heart conditions,
Speaker 1: could have killed him, either from either force or just
Speaker 1: the shock of that. Imagine. I mean, you've got explosions
Speaker 1: going off in your house, You're doing it in flash bangs.
Speaker 1: You You've got a whole team of people with guns
Speaker 1: drawn like, yeah, and here's the kicker. They turn off
Speaker 1: their cameras right when they realize that they fucked up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they they don't know how cameras work, right, And again
Speaker 1: we're talking about what they did, and you know, seeing
Speaker 1: this video just completely destroyed. Man. I hate to see
Speaker 1: things like that. I feel bad for that man, like
Speaker 1: just living his life. And all of this is possible
Speaker 1: because of the War on drugs. Yeah, it is absolutely
Speaker 1: because of the War on drugs. And this could happen
Speaker 1: to you know, any of us. It's that it's that
Speaker 1: getting in that front door, Like, how is this even
Speaker 1: an option to be able to do this? Even if
Speaker 1: they got the right house or anything, you know, they
Speaker 1: got everything else, right. Um, the fact that this is
Speaker 1: even a possibility is only because of the War on
Speaker 1: drugs that we can have a no knock warrant and
Speaker 1: raid someone's home because the suspicion of committing a crime.
Speaker 1: This is what the War on drugs does. It allows
Speaker 1: for these you know, civil liberty violations to happen all throughout,
Speaker 1: regardless they have the right guy or not. War on
Speaker 1: drugs touches everybody. Even in this case, this is somebody
Speaker 1: who doesn't even have anything to do with drugs, but
Speaker 1: still found explosives in his house and his dark kicked in.
Speaker 1: I'm Clayton English and I'm Greg Glad and this has
Speaker 1: been a war on drugs Quick Fix, thanks again for listening.
