Why the fuck are members of the DEA even doing a "world debauchery tour?" Why are they leaving the U.S. on the government's dime at all?
If they're working to stop international drug flow, it makes sense for them to deal with the police in other countries. Sometimes that could involve in person meetings.
A "world debauchery tour" is definitely a bad look though.
AKA a job security program since now they need to miraculously stop drugs in every country on the planet instead of just the one that employs them and since they have this vast new jurisdiction to cover, they'll obviously need hefty increases to their budget to cover it.
I think there's room for international cooperation that isn't Team America: World Police. But if you want to argue that the DEA is on the wrong side of that spectrum, I won't stand in your way.
It's one of the ways they got Pablo Escobar
ACAB, but fuck the DEA in particular. Criminalizing drug use is a human rights disaster.
Self medicating with heroin because it's cheaper than a trip to the doctor?
One million billion years in jail for you fucko
So disgusting and so harmful. The corruption of honor and respect.
yet not surprising at all
