    Ep. 1: Autopsy No. 86-999
    Oct 26 2017
    [Contains explicit content] The series begins with the deaths of two young black men. First, Freddie Gray, who died after police arrested him and threw him into the back of a police van in Baltimore. Then, Len Bias: the rising college basketball player. His cocaine overdose in 1986 helped ignite a new, more aggressive phase of the War On Drugs, one that zeroed in on crack cocaine and black communities. This episode looks at the ties between the two deaths, and how the draconian, anti-crack drug laws of the mid-80s, set policing in America on the course of lethal aggression against black Americans we’re still witnessing today.

    [Contains explicit content] It is the mid-1980s, and America is alarmed by the dawn of crack cocaine. We go to Capitol Hill for the little-known story of behind the “tough-on-crime” era, when lawmakers played fast and loose with mandatory minimum sentencing, literally “ picking numbers out of [their] asses” according to one insider. The harsh anti-drug legislation - cobbled together in weeks - included the now notorious 100 to 1 sentencing ratio for crack vs. powder cocaine, which disproportionately affected black communities and led to mass incarceration.

    Oct 26 2017
    [Contains explicit content] Welcome to Washington, DC - the nation’s capital. By the late 1980s, the crack cocaine trade had transformed DC into the "murder capital" of America. In this episode, Christopher Johnson takes a trip back home, to the DC area, to remember just how devastating crack cocaine was for the city. A former narcotics cop takes him across the Anacostia River, and through what was once a notorious open-air crack market. We talk to a local musician, a former homicide cop, and Christopher's big cousin Cooki, who all remember the days when DC “went sideways.”

My father was convicted of selling Crack in the 1980s, therefore I can truly relate to the stories and see the through. In fact, I have been racially profiled by law enforcement my entire life, including being falsely arrested a few years ago while due to lazy police work, SMH.

Excellent History lesson

This needs to be heard by all generations that are able to hear it. It shows what the American system put in place to decimate the Black community.

Powerful.

It's messed up when you look at folks who are forced into a helpless cycle just because the nation discriminates subliminally on the basis of color. Sometimes I'm proud of the USA, but this is not one of those times.

super eye opening

I couldn’t continue with this stuff. Trying to make POS people into victims. I’m sorry, but I am not going to support anyone that does drugs or violence. Drug laws too stiff? Don’t do drugs! Don’t be a POS! Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!

Zero Remorse

Very informativve. Well documented. A story 'of Color' as they say. But while Color is a term meant as a Racial slur, I see it as a fitting and aptly descriptive term for all people. Drugs don't affect people of one color differently than they do people of a different color. Drugs have a devastatingly affect on people all colors. We need to get our collective head out of our backside and approach the drug problem, our national drug problem, seriously. Great series! KUDOS, Audible!

Politically charged from the beginning. agenda was overbearing. Very Very biased. Was looking for enlightenment and found this instead. Lets move forward away from the conspiracy theories.
