Former U.S. Marshal Says Suburban Drug Busts Were Verboten

Of course, they were. From The Atlantic: "A former Drug Enforcement Administration agent says he was blocked from doing drug busts in the suburban parts of Washington, D.C. -- as in, the parts where white people live. U.S. Marshal Matthew Fogg, who is black, says 'I personally witnessed racially biased enforcement procedures when I ran a joint [Drug Enforcement Administration] task force....When I requested equal enforcement of upscale suburban areas, I met internal resistance,' published in a statement released by Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. The group, working with Blacks in Government, is calling for a federal investigation into why more than half the people arrested for drug offenses are black, even though whites and blacks use drugs in equal amounts."
