Takes me back to our darker years. Back when you weren't allowed to ask anyone in Miami what they did for a living? (Especially to afford such a nice home/things)
Imagine basing your whole career on the interdiction of a drug, then right as you're about to be promoted to lead the division, it's legalized and your division disbanded.
@diann h that's a pretty broad statement. All cops over the world? Or the obvious, just miami? If ur speaking in ppl profiting/gaining then the whole Miami skyline was from the illicit sales of blow and the whole city will tell u this. Miami had more monies in their federal reserve branch than all the other repositories COMBINED. The cops were a minor link on the chain. Ur obviously not aware how this worked. Ur also probably not aware that the US former president George HW Bush Sr. ironically had blow and guns coming outbound and inbound @ Homestead air force base , which up until 1993 I believe was a real AFB. When u make broad statements u spread disinformation/miseducated statements about history. Don't forget the Marianna boat life shot crime thru the roof as Castro claimed he: " flushed Cuba's toilet on the US." It all played an obvious role. Educate urself before spreading uneducated history. Good day
The 'funniest' thing about this is the reporter at the debuting of SCARFACE immediately after the Dadeland coverage. What's 'funny' is one of the Dadeland shooters Rivi Ayala was at the one of the debut showings of SCARFACE. He says this in COCAINE COWBOYS. "At one point Ayala talks recalls how he and 10 other hit men went to see “Scarface” and they laughed at the scene in which hitmen failed to gun down the character, Tony Montoya."
I love the documentary cocaine cowboys , i do recall seeing this scene where rivi states " We wouldve got em" I tried looking for the scene in cocaine cowboys and no luck. Not even in the reloaded version, The only clip of him speaking on Scarface is a youtube clip of him talking about how he met his wife and how because of scarface he managed to secure the deal with her , But i have no luck finding the full scene on any of the documentarys
And then in the hands of Americans. Comes back full circle then. Go back not far for it to be unrecognizable? Only may be a thousand year's. But there you go. They'd make you believe there's only so many word's in the English language. They lie. Vast isn't the word. Bless
This made headlines in the early-mid 1980's nationwide, showed lots of it on the news growing up in metro Chicago. It got so bad that Reagan almost sent in the National Guard, though did send some law enforcers to stop the carnage. It had a bad impact on tourism which is significant of Miami's economy, dropped as much as 75% as tourists were terrified to come to Miami and most of south Florida. Miami I heard back in 1983 was declared as 'Paradise Lost'. Since then, it has had recovered, however the drugs wars delt Miami a black eye leaving a pernament scar. It still has some problems today since it has given it a bad reputation. Tourism though is back in full throttle. As for being paradise lost, today that would be California.
You know it so weird to think years down the road one of those drugs being marijuana would become a legal drug that people use now, when it was once consider a super bad drug up there with cocaine, heroine, and Acid.
I sold weed 20 years ago and had a bullseye on my back for years from local cops always tryna bag me lol. It was literally treated like crack, dope, etc is now back then.
Man my fam from Cuba so naturally we would visit my cousins in Miami every summer. We stayed at a hotel called Marco Polo in Miami Beach. I was just a kid but sister and cousins used to go to Coco Grove area to party. Must of been wild going out on weekends back then lol.
I'm pretty sure that dog became addicted to cocaine someone should have trained the dogs handler to let him know when the dog finds something he gives a signal which he did and the handler goes on to take it from there what u shouldn't do is rip open the package and let the dog grab the coke in plastic bags in his mouth then proceed to wrestle it away from him hoping it doesn't rip open in his mouth.
The crime rate around the early 80s was higher in Miami despite the fact Miami look in far better shape than Detroit. I live in St. Louis and right now we are currently the worst in crime and homicide at this point in time.
I hate to say it but being involved in smuggling and trafficking back then sounds like fun if one was young. I wouldn't want to do the prison time or kill anyone but in general, it seems like being involved would be fun.
Unfortunately the other side of that is i dont really think the fun is there to be had without the risk of prison or death. Its the whole " no risk no reward" theory.
Yeah, it sure is fun selling poison that destroys tens of millions of families, reducing people to nervous wrecks that can't function in society, make life in our cities a living h€ll, and contribute to the further decay of our nation. But the money's good guys!
Our government loves this & is the sole cause of all this violence. It could all be stopped with one single move: legalizing all drugs. By doing that, you remove the incentive for cartels, gangs, smugglers, dealers & other violent criminals to get involved at any level. You simply don't see this with beer or cigarettes, although you did when alcohol prohibition was in effect.
Funny cause theres a crazy big market for menthol cigarettes particularly newports, now that the govt has made menthols illegal. Around here they sell for 12 or 13 bucks a pack.
because the missile system is shut down the particular trophy extermination is approximately within an hour concept. if the missile system was going it would be possibly 26 minutes concept known as severe missile distress at 36 minutes. basically the timeline less than 36 minutes describes the amount of sufferance on the missile due to the fraud activity on the dignitary oftentimes more than one affecting the building treaty oftentimes more than one. we do ask abstention as people do not understand expert mechanics when in these levels of distress and only allow experts to do movement.

What's about to happen to weed lmfao
Legal drugs= Taxes=Money that can be tracked.That's why many want to keep them illegal, not for moral reasons but monetary ones.
They should all be released and compensated. Cops act like they did not profit as well off weed and cocaine.
Like in legal businesses. Someone else takes your future manager position, or org change etc. Happens often

You are lucky. I lived in Miami for most of it. Just an awful time in history.
My parents lived in the Miami area from the late 1940s til we left Opa Locka in 1977. Too much drugs and crime.

Is it me or was American English different sounding around this time period? What would you call this pace or tone?
