When staff shortages and tight funding meet a rise in drug crime, you might not expect an overburdened police department to make extra work for themselves.  Yet that is exactly what happened in Chattanooga in the mid 2010s, when calls to EMS started backing up so severely the cops had to start shouldering more of the response than ever before. 

Today I’m speaking with Investigator Terry Topping of the Chattanooga Police Department’s Narcotics Unit, and Jennifer Baggett, senior data analyst for Hamilton County government.  As the opioid overdose deaths kept piling up, Terry, Jennifer, and other dedicated individuals on the force used three ingredients to start turning the tide: data, compassion, and leadership.

Chattanooga currently does not have a co-response unit, but their Narcotics Unit has used the resources they have to get people that overdose in connection to harm reduction, treatment, and recovery court.  And it’s working: not only are their deaths decreasing, so is aggravated assault and burglary.

Mister Harris - Narcotics

Lyrics:

Took to much now my lips are turning blue 
Took to much im way too paranoid, think I blew a fuse 
Think I might kick the fuck it bucket and Death to the snitch, fuck a stitch, cut a hole in the pussies heart and let him swim with the fish 
I roll a spliff, I pop a pill, I got homies from the trenches that got that iron and they shoot for real 
The angel dust fucking busts, 
Put a fuck boys jaw up on a curb, I love to hear it crush l
I slit my wrist just for the motherfucking fucking rush

My wrists drip like a gold mine I can’t get enough, this must be love, blinded by the lust, in myself I could never trust

5% tint, dope  on the dash, bank account full of cash, your stress from  worries change when you come up fast,

BLUE LIPS

True-crime bestseller T.J. English on his latest, The Last Kilo: Willy Falcon and the Cocaine Empire that Seduced America. We go into the backstory of getting Miami's fabled cocaine king to go on the record; the long arm of the law, over more than four decades; and reconciling  legend and Hollywood with the sober truths of spending so much of a life in prison.

Lyrics by me

She been selling narcotics 
Just to make a living, more than what her mom did
If you’re ever falling down, you know I got it
If I ever say I’m fine, you know I’m fronting
She been selling narcotics 
Just to make a living, more than what her mom did
If you’re ever falling down, you know I got it
If I ever say I’m fine, you know I’m fronting

Impatient, been waiting 
I wish I could see you on a basis
But when I stay around, I know you hate it
Fuck that other guy and everything he saying
I want you more than I could ever wish
Every word I’m saying, she ain’t understanding it
If she ever got an issue, I can handle it
She’s so pretty, I wish I was just a better man
She just can’t seem to realize 
Like she’s everything I ever wanted
Every single problem gets her nauseous
Guess she’ll never find a way to fucking solve it

She been selling narcotics 
Just to make a living, more than what her mom did
If you’re ever falling down, you know I got it
If I ever say I’m fine, you know I’m fronting
She been selling narcotics 
Just to make a living, more than what her mom did
If you’re ever falling down, you know I got it
If I ever say I’m fine, you know I’m fronting

Text:
Кто ты > и тебе к нам не подойти
Я моложе их всех своих типов > мы тебя положим в пол
И я одинок в городе дорог и потом не ной то что ты не смог
Плакать стало модно > нету профита лишь гроши
#Похуй молодой но шаги становятся больше
Я не ебусь больше > с теми кто меня не просит
Я теперь всегда одииииин < но мне чото по*уй
И мы будто фантомы > ощущаю себя ебанутым я как Гена Горин
И каждый день это shit talking > Я ебанутый тип я всегда живу в соре
Я качаю скил, становлюсь faded 
Я строю свою жизнь как будто это монумент
Она просит мои цифры > Бля и я не абонент
Я люблю потешить Эго > Я люблю этот эффект

HOW I FELT <OLD>  [Prod. Jabulanskii]

US-directed repression and counter-insurgency in El Salvador in the 1980s allowed the imposition of "free trade" or "neoliberal" regimes in the generations since then—ultimately culminating in the adoption of CAFTA. This, in turn, has exacerbated the expropriation of the traditional lands of the peasantry by the agro-export oligarchy. It also led to the hypertlophy of the narco economy and a new nightmare of violence, which Nayib Bukele has exploited to establish a new dictatorship. This dictatorship is now openly in league with Donald Trump, and has in fact become critical to his fascist agenda. In Episode 275 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg breaks down El Salvador's historical role as a laboratory of genocide and police-state methods for US imperialism, and the imperative of trans-national resistance.
