Another screwup in America’s “failed war on drugs”. Holder and his boys are going to be pissed off at Arizona about this. I guess we can expect another lawsuit by the feds. Just throw it on top of the pile.
The drug war is a major contributor to overdose deaths, by leading to highly variable potencies.
And how many of those are tied to Fast & Furious? We may never know.
Holder better get his people in there to see if any of the poor dears rights were violated or feelings hurt.
Until Americans hold the federal government accountable for its malfeasance and corruption, will this kind of atrocity get stopped in America.
There, I fixed it.
Connection??? ping
Separately, Phoenix agents with the Drug Enforcement Agency had been investigating the ring, so the two joined forces, along with other agencies.
Doug Coleman, acting special agent in charge of the DEA in Arizona, said that he expects further arrests in the case as the investigation continues.
“This is as big a case as gets put together,” he said.

The 43 search warrants conducted as part of the investigation led to the seizure of 44 guns that included assault rifles, 650 pounds of marijuana, 435 pounds of methamphetamine, 123 pounds of cocaine and 4.5 pounds of heroin. Combined the drugs are estimated to be worth $12.5 million.
The cartels’ product is cheap to make, as are the lives of the people who traffic and distribute the drugs. This is likely nothing more than an annoyance (if even that) when compared to the billions of dollars the narcos make every year.
This is nothing more than our so called law enforcement saying “see, we don’t always kick in the wrong door and shoot your dog.”
How many of Holder’s “Guns for Drugs” were recovered in the non-Federal raid?
The same week, a drug cartel member deported as part of the bust returned to Arizona and was caught with $1.6 million worth of drugs in just one example of how relentless the Sinaloa cartel can be.
If he was dead, that wouldn’t happen again.
