Every Black family that was affected by this plot, now has a claim against the United States government for cases of wrongful death, violation of civil rights, selective prosecution and other emotional torts associated with this behavior. That's the technicality and it should be pursued, anyone busted for selling in South Central has a claim. I don't condone the selling of drugs, and would vehemently advocate against the release of anyone who would continue in that destructive line, but the law is the law. Crack was the first globally distributed synthetic drug that was considered irreversible and non-recoverable. Crack and AIDS were the germ warfare strategies, published in 1969, that were to facilitate Black genocide.
Federal lawsuits putting the country's judicial fairness to the test is the proper recourse.
