- The Phony War on Drugs:
- Juking the Stats - Statistics Will Always Lie - The War on the Underclass (from 19:20 to end) (pbs bill moyers journal) -- Discussing HBO's The Wire, the 'War on Drugs' is all about juking the stats, has reduced the arrest rates for violent crime while enormously increasing arrest rates for minor drug offenses, and has propelled cops with lots of those minor drug arrest records up through the ranks, marginalized the 'expendables' of society, destroyed innumerable families, fed the voracious prison-industrial complex and overstuffed our U.S. prisons.
