Cops, Cartels, and the War on Drugs

This episode delves into the disturbing collusion between corrupt police officers and drug trafficking organizations. We'll examine cases where cops have provided protection, intelligence, and even direct assistance to cartel operations, turning a blind eye to the flow of narcotics through their jurisdictions. Hear from whistleblowers and journalists who've uncovered these interconnections, as well as experts who analyze the systemic failures and perverse incentives that incentivize some officers to betray their oath of service. Understand the devastating impact this 'drug war corruption' has on communities ravaged by the opioid crisis and other drug epidemics.
