DRCNet Interview: Jack Cole, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (8/16/02)
(This interview appeared first in DRCNet's Drug War Chronicle newsletter, previously known as "The Week Online" with DRCNet.) You can also download copies of Cole's presentation in Powerpoint and Word.
The police are supposed to be the front-line warriors in the drug war, so when law enforcement figures defect from prohibitionist orthodoxy, as has prominently been the case with former San Jose Police Chief Joseph McNamara and former New Haven Police Chief Nicolas Pastore, their arguments are especially forceful. The emergence of a new group of law enforcement drug war dissidents, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://www.leap.cc), thus marks an important crack in the solid wall of police support for the drug war. Formed in March, LEAP brings together a small core of former and current law officers on a mission to end the drug war by bringing their hard-earned street credibility to the reform cause. DRCNet spoke with LEAP executive director Jack Cole this week.
Week Online: How did you go from drug warrior to drug war critic?
Jack Cole: I guess you could say I had always been driven by an impulse toward harm reduction, though that wasn't a term I'd even heard of back then. I joined the New Jersey State Police because I couldn't stand those images of police beating civil rights demonstrators, and I wanted to do policing to serve the community. As a cop, I saw the damage that drug abuse was doing to the community, so I joined the state narcotics bureau to fight that terrible scourge.
I did not have a sophisticated analysis of prohibition back then, although I very quickly began to understand that our war on drugs" was a cruel, corrupting charade. We would arrest drug users on the street, but claim they were dealers. We would make people become informers for us to avoid their own drug charges. As an undercover cop, I had a career that consisted of becoming people's friend, their closest confidante, then betraying them, over and over again. And I came to see the "war on drugs" as racist. And futile.
When Richard Nixon declared the "war on drugs" in 1970, law enforcement had no idea how to stop drug abuse, but it certainly knew how to go after the money. We had seven narcotics officers for the entire state of New Jersey, but after Nixon's anti-drug grants, it shot up to 76. So we arrested people, going from town to town and making buys from everyone we could, then swooping in for mass arrests. But when we arrested a drug dealer, all we did was create a job opening for the next guy. In the meantime, lives are being ruined, families destroyed when drug users are sent to jail, we were virtually creating the next generation of addicts.
By 1973, I had concluded that the small amount of harm I prevented by arresting drug users was far outweighed by the harm I was causing to countless people. "Zero tolerance" prohibition was senseless and doomed to failure, I decided. I'm sorry to say that I continued to work narcotics for years after that realization, for reasons that have little to do with courage.
WOL: Surely rank and file police officers share this sense of futility you describe. What is it that keeps law enforcement from becoming a force for reform?
Cole: Many officers have told me, in classrooms or in private, that they see the uselessness and destructiveness of our drug war. But there are also a number of reasons why many police continue to support it. One reason I stayed at it was the sheer excitement of it. I was always working bigger and bigger cases, always looking for the stimulation and excitement. It was almost addicting and there was very much an element of the thrill of the chase. It's intoxicating to go up against very smart people and beat them at their own game. There is that element. And you have to understand that most police in this country are doing what's called community oriented policing, and most communities want the drug dealing and associated street crime cleaned up. The police are doing what they think the community wants.
There is also self-interest. The "war on drugs" is a seemingly endless source of funds for law enforcement. There are jobs at stake. And there is fear. Taking a public stand for ending the drug war could cost you your job in any number of departments in this county and subject you to disapproval from your peers in many more.
WOL: That must make it tough to get new recruits?
Cole: We recognize that problem and we address it. Members of law enforcement can join our organization anonymously, and we are very careful to ensure that their information is secure. We are also working on an anonymous electronic chat program that would allow police to enter discussions without revealing their identities. We hope to have that up and running soon.
WOL: What does LEAP hope to accomplish, and how will you go about doing it?
Cole: We want to end prohibition --
WOL: The group takes an explicit stand for ending prohibition?
Cole: Look at the name. Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. In our mission statement, we write that "the United States' drug policies have failed and that to save lives, lower the rate of addiction and conserve tax dollars, we must end drug prohibition." It's pretty clear. Right now, we are attempting to move in that direction primarily through our speakers' bureau. We have former New York police captain and ReconsiDer member Peter Christ, former Michigan police officer Howard Wooldridge, former Detroit police officer Dan Solano, and Colorado Sheriff Bill Masters and myself. It is a process of educating people, and between us we've given hundreds of speeches. We will continue to educate and continue to try to attract new members from the ranks of law enforcement. We know they're out there.
But we also want to restore respect for law enforcement. Our involvement in enforcing drug prohibition has only diminished respect for police. And, ultimately, we want to reduce the harm imposed by prohibition.
WOL: What about what happened in Nevada last week? Andy Anderson, the head of the state's largest police union organization, lost his job after he engineered a board vote in favor of marijuana legalization.
Cole: That was a real mess. Clearly, we have a ways to go. But the fact that they were ready to endorse that measure shows that law enforcement is not monolithic on this.
Collin County FBI and DA's corrupt
Comment posted by hastyk on Thu, 04/02/2009 - 2:13amI've been set up over the past 12 years and my most recent evidence was obtained from June 2008 to March 2009.
Due to Attorney Bill Boyd, Attorney John Nation, Attorney Doug Mulder and FBI Agents Gill Torrez and Ron Patten and corrupt Det. Dodson in the NOrth Dallas sub station deceiving or conspirng with the Collin County FBI and DA's;
I'm not only not allowed to see bank records tied to my identity due to Attorney Bill Boyd preventing me from knowing if Judge Nathan White's signed court order was ever carried out; (Note: I paid $280,000's in legal fees trying to get a prosecutorial report with my evidence prepared for the FBI or DA's). Instead, Attorney Bill Boyd and Attorney John Nation and Attorney Doug Mulder intentionally deceived or conspired with the FBI and DA's to put me in jail by concealing evidence that would have proven my innocense
and far, far worse than going to jail on known false charges;
is the fact no prosecutorial report was prepared and instead false evidence was given to the FBI and DA's and now, when I beg to find someone let me report the facts and have the truthful evidence of record; I'm told::
1. If you call or come to the DEA's, FBI, John Nations Office the bank who's concealed your bank from you; or the DA's then we will have you arrested: For what? no one says
2. Even worse is the fact that fradulent IRS tax returns were planted in my home; discovered this month; still no law enforcement agency in Collin County will let me meet with anyone face to face to have anything that has been doing on from 1997 to now be of record, comprehended or investigated.
Instead, I"m told that my evidence was investigated and my evidence proved no criminal acts. That's not my evidence; that's what the corrupt FBI, corrupt Attorney John Nation, Doug Mulder and Bill Boyd have knowingly deceived the DA's and FBI and U.S. Attorney's with.
I simply want my Civil Rights and Civil Liberties but I've been trying for 12 years. There is no FBI, Secret Service, DA's or
Attorney anywhere in Dallas that I've found who will simply let the truth be on file.
The employees of the DA's, FBI and John Nation and the bank concealing my bank records from me; were instructed to not talk to me; not take my messages; and claim to me falsely that an investigation was done and my evidence proves no criminal acts.
Either the DA's and FBI have been deceived or they are corrupt and going on with their plan to sit me up so that no one knows just how corrupt State Bank and Trust's money laundering connected to Attorney's factually is.
President Obam and Senators on TV say all the time that they want more money put in the hands of law enforcement to investigate banks laundering money. I have the evidence of banks laundering money but the Collin County Da's and FBI won't let me meet with anyone or let this evidence be of record. President Obama and the Senators getting more money to pay corrupt law enforcement to investigate banks won't do a bit of good. We first have to have someone managing the DA's or FBI who will actually let someone with evidence of banks laundering money tied to drug dealers, MOrtgage Fraud and 9 other crimes let me meet with someone for about 3 hours. That's impossible. I know, I've tried for 12 years now and I spent $280,000's in legal fees trying to get DA Roach, Christopher Milner, FBI Agent, Ron Patten, any FBI agent in the DAllas FBI to meet with me, get my evidence, make it of record and comprehend it. It's impossible. I believe our government doesn't want banks laundering drug money to stop because it would hurt our economy even more. That's fine with me. I don't care if drugs are legalized; or if anyone selling drugs is ever arrested or prosecuted. I simply want to save my life from the Corrupt DA's, corrupt FBI in Dallas and Plano who as long as they prevent me from my Civil Liberties and Civil Rights; then, I will be set up from now on. I can't even do my IRS tax returns due to all the fraud by the FBI, DA's, Attorney's, law enforcement and Derek Povah and Amy Ralston Pofahls racketeering gang tied to State Bank and TRust insiders and Steven Mark Olschwanger, Jerry Gillstrap and Det. Dodson.
Legalization of Marijuana
Comment posted by Anonymous on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 1:27pmFirst off I have never and will never wear an Obama pin however I have been for the decriminalization and legalization of the herb , that God gave mankind , since 1972 .
I am so touched that some police officers know that harming American citizens for possessing Marijuana is an acute travesty of justice .
I also know that John McCain would have never worked to legalize this benign plant . Kay Bailey Hutchinson , in a reply to me , when I had encouraged her to vote on decriminalization , said she would never vote for decriminalizing Pot or legalizing it , so I will never vote for her
If and when I can afford to make a donation to LEAP , rest assured I will . This makes all the sense in the world .
Now I think about the Whiskey industry that will and probably has gone all out to prevent the legalization of Marijuana . Not to mention all the companies that make and sell beer , wine and every alcoholic beverage that is sold .
I have worked in the field of Mental Health and seen several alcoholics get off alcohol with the use of B Complex and Marijuana .

Being set up by corrupt Attorney's and banks laundering money
Comment posted by hastyk on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 9:08pmI really don't care if the FBI, DEA, DA's, U.S. Attorney's, Attorney's or law enforcement ever prosecutes anyone laundering drug money or doing drugs.
What I do care about is the fact that Attorney, Sandy Pofahl, Amy Ralston Pofahl and Derek Povah used my identity without my knowledge in Nov. 1987 per my Equifax credit report that I saw in June 2008.
Also, when Attorney/convicted manufacturing of Ecstacy, Sandy Pofahl was released from prison in 2005; members of his racketeering gang targeteed me and possibly, Peggy Jean Spears St. Martin to lead us to believe we were investing in a legal business when in fact; it was nothing but a scheme to company names tied to our identity's in order to launder money, obtain foreign real estate in our names, and sit me up for IRS fraud with the help of State Bank and Trust on Midway Road in Carrollton, Texas insider, Jerry Gillstrap, the PLano and Dallas FBI (Gill Torrez and Ron Patten), the DA's ( Christopher Milner, JOhn Roach, Frank D. Able), several Attorney's (Randall Freedman, Malcolm Shaw, Bill Boyd, Doug Mulder, John Nation,), , 2 CPA's (Morgan Farrington and Tom Kissenger), law enforcement (Arson Investigator, Don Howard and Det. Dodso) in North Dallas and Collin County area.
This has cost me $280,000's in legal fees; the additional loss of
$250,000's; all income from August 1997 to now, March 2008 and such corruption within the FBI, DA's, police, Attorney's, banks and law enforcement personal has prevented me reporting anything or having any of my evidence of Public Record. It's very easy to figure out that the Freedom of Information Act and the U.S. Patriot Act are 100% useless to me because I'm denied my rights to report such corruption and being set up. Instead, when I attempt to find anyone within the FBI or DA's to simply meet face to face with me; comprehend my evidence; make my evidence and report of Public Record; then, a letter is sent to me saying that my evidence has been investigated by the FBI, DEA's, DA's and Charlotte North Carolina FBI who's investigating WAchovia Bank and other banks laundering money. The fact is; the Dallas FBI, Plano FBI, Dallas DA's, Plano DA's, Dallas U.S. Attorney's,
and all other law enforcement agencies in the Dallas and Collin County area "ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE MY EVIDENCE" SO NO INVESTIGATION CAN POSSIBLY BE DONE; THEY DON'T HAVE MY EVIDENCE BECAUSE: Attorney Bill Boyd and Attorney John Nation and FBI Agent, Gill Torrez obtained over $80,000's from me after prior Attorney's got roughly $200,000's from me to prepare a prosecutorial report and let my evidence be of Public Record. FBI Agent, Torrez; Attorney Bill Boyd, Attorney John Nation, and Attorney Doug Mulder and the Collin County DA, Roach and Christopher Milner; FBI Agent, Ron Patter with the Collin County FBI, financial crimes, identity theft officers WILL NOT LET ME MEET FACE TO FACE WITH ANYONE SO THAT MY EVIDENCE IS OF RECORD; BUT INSTEAD, THE ATTORNEY'S (JOHN NATION AND BILL BOYD) DRAFTED BOGUS REPORTS, CONCEALED THE EVIDENCE; PREVENTED ANY AND ALL FACTUAL EVIDENCE THAT PROVE THE CRIMINAL ACTS OF STATE BANK AND TRUST (A NON REGULATED FDIC bank) from being of record with any law enforcement agency in Dallas or Collin County from 1997 to now, March 2009. This month, I discovered fraudulent IRS tax return COPIES planted in my home in a closet that was broken into in Jan. 2005. The facts of the break in is interesting also: In Jan. 2005; Gary Dickey, in Dallas, called me in California to tell me that my home in Dallas was staged to look like a break in. Gary Dickey told me to not look for what was taken but instead look for what was planted. I thought he was kidding until recently. I discovered after the break in that roughly 2,000 documents of evidence was taken; of course the police and FBI won't let me report that fact; and I discovered this month in March 2009 that what was planted were fraududlent COPIES of IRS tax returns in my name; of course the FBI and Dallas police won't let me report that. Also, at the time of the staged break in; Det. Dodson drafted a police report on the Dallas home break in; his report basically said that he called Amy Ralston Pofahl Povah and Derek Povah in California and Det. Dodson said that he then concluded that I'm not a credible person. I tried reporting Det. Dodson to public integrity but public integrity claimed they deadline of 30 days had passed to report Det. Dodson. I met with Det. Dodsons alleged boss who told me that Det. Dodson said those things in his report in order to prevent any court of law from accepting my testimony.
As if that's no obvious enough; Amy Ralston Pofahl called me from the Dublin prison in 1999 to say quote "Kathy, you need to watch the movie The Thin Blue Line because what Doug Mulder did to Mel Jettor is what's going to be done to you". In 2000, Bill Clinto let Amy Ralston Pofahl out of prison; and she went to live and marry Derek Povah at 5864 Zumirez Drive in Malibu California.
My Equifax report that I got in JUne 2009 but no law enforcement agency will allow me to report or have my Equifax or any other evidence be of PUblic Record; ... prove solid that Derek Povah,
a man I didn't know in Nov. 1987; did in fact take my identity per my Equifax credit report in Nov. 1997 and again, in 2005 which was around the time of Det. Dodsons break in report that by the way didn't mention a break in at all in his report. There is alot that has taken place over the past 12 years that I could tell you about; but the bottom line is simple: Attorney, Sandy Pofahl's racketeering gang was laundering money, carrying out insider bank fraud and large amounts of Mortgage frauds that the tax payers are now bailing out such corrupt banks who pocketed multi millions of dollars through the banks known corrupt acts; when Sandy Pofahl got out of prison in 1995; he continued with his racketeering gangs bank frauds, and money laundering tied to Derek Povah's taking my identity in 1987, 2005 and STeve Olschwanger and State Bank and Trust's obtaining corporate names tied to my identity in October 1996; and David Baruch of Broward County Florida and Attorney, Mark Purdy and STeven Mark Olschwanger taking my identity again from August 1995 to June 2008 which appeared in a Civil Suit filed by Wachovia Bank which according to the INternet Wachovia BAnk is being investigated by the Charlotte North CArolina FBI. No law enforcement agency in Dallas or Collin County will let anyone meet with me to have the evidence comprehened; instead Dallas and Collin County are so extremely corrupt, stupid or are influenced by corrupt powerful Attorney's like Doug Mulder who put Mel Jettor in prison for life on a murder Jettor did not commit by concealing evidence and preventing testimony; and like Attorney Bill Boyd who my evidence would prove took a bribe of over $250,000's to prevent any and all facts from being made of public record or known to the Collin County DA's or FBI or courts from 1999 to 2003; hmmmm.... still there is not one government employee with the clout to simply let me meet face to face with someone; let my evidence be of record; and investigate this based on factual evidence instead of the frauds carried out by Attorney John Nation, Attorney Doug Mulder, Attorney Bill Boyd and FBI Agent, Gill Torrez. I've now emailed today OIG who's alleged duty is to investigate employees of government agencies who deny our Civil Rights and Liberties. OIG makes it clear on their message that "not every case is investigated". I made it real easy for them by simply asking them to call the PLano FBI; find an agent to meet face to face with me; have that agent take my written report and evidence; make same of record and based on the Freedom of Information ACt; then, send me certified copies so I have factual proof that my report and evidence is of record and not some more
fraud documents created by insiders with the FBI, DEA's, DA's or other law enforcement agencies which is extremely easy for insiders of banks and law enforcement agencies to do; I know,
I've tried to report this and have factual evidence of record from 1997 to now, March 2009. It's impossible due to the fact that ethical employees want the facts of record and to do their jobs; it's the alleged elected officials or lets be blunt; the people put in charge of the FDA and DA's who are not ethical at all. If Bill Clinton is involved in this; it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Would it surprise any of you? Again, I don't care if they investigate or prosecute any of these criminals; I care that I've not only been sit up but I've been out 12 years of my life plus over $400,000's in losses due to the frauds of banks connected to Amy Ralston Pofahls money laundering racketeering gang. I'm okay with Bill Clinton and AMy Pofahl being buddies. I'm not okay with Bill Clinton giving preferential treatment to money launderers carrying out bank fraud and sitting up innocent victims like me and preventing me from reporting anything and preventing my evidence from being of record while I'm set up for IRS fraud, put in jail on known false charges due to Attorney Doug Mulder's concealing evidence that would have proven my innocense just like he did to Mel Jettor according to the movie. Let's face it; some politicians, law enforcement, FBI, DEA's, DA's, and other officials are corrupt beyond repair and it's long over due that the citizens form their own agencies; get rid of Attorney's completely; get rid of the FEderal Reserve and IRS; and take back our country by having citizens in States (not Federal) sit up there own laws, law enforcement agency's and handle their own trials themselves.
what is it that hastyk wants the Attorney Generals office to do
Comment posted by hastyk on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 9:17pmFour things:
1. call the Plano FBI and Dallas FBI and ask the person answering the telephone to find out the names of the agents within the FBI who intentionally preventing me from reporting facts, evidence and having this of Public Record
2. prosecute and fire those agents immediately
3. then, find one ethical agent familiar with racketeering,
money laundering, sitting up innocent people as fall guys so that unregulated banks, like State Bank and Trust on Midway Road in Carrollton Texas; are shut down immediately; and
have such agent meet with me face to face; comprehend my evidence or at least 6 documents of evidence; file my report as I drafted it; file my evidence of Public Record; and they can decide if they want to prosecute or not; I just want this of record so I can to on with my life without continuing to be in fear of the fact that I've been set up by corrupt Attorney's; corrupt banks, Amy Pofahls money laundering racketeering gang; and so that everything is of Public record; so, I can have a few years of peace that I have not had at all from March 1997 to now, March 2009.

COLLIN COUNTY FBI AND DA'S REFUSE ME MY CIVIL RIGHTS
Comment posted by Anonymous on Sun, 04/05/2009 - 12:50amA method used to launder large amounts of drug money is to lead others to believe they are investing in a business in order that the drug money launderers can obtain company names tied to someone elses identity, Federal Tax I.D. number and drivers license.
This was done to me.
Each time I hired an Attorney and paid the Attorney's alot of money ($280,000's) to prepare a prosecutorial report with my evidence for the DA's or FBI; my own Attorney's took large bribes
by the money launderers and led the FBI and DA's to believe that I was just a jealous girlfriend out for revenge. Thus, any and all law enforcement agencies doors closed on me and while I've continued to be set up for the past 12 years; there's no law enforcement agency that will meet with me. Instead, the DA's and FBI say that my evidence was looked at and no criminal acts were commited which is only the fraud by Attorney Bill Boyd, Attorney Doug Mulder and Attorney John Nation from 1999 to 2004. FBI Agent, Gil Torez said he would prepare the long awaited for prosecutorial report for the FBI but instead, he didn't let the FBI or DA's know anything at all. In fact, when I exercised my rights under the Freedom of Information Act to see what was filed in my files with the FBI; I received nothing from the FBI; not even a reply letter. The system (FBI, DA's, Attorney's, law enforcement agencies) are corrupt beyond repair. When all it takes is an Attorney to lie to the FBI; and the FBI believes the Attorney instead of the complaintant; then, it's far too easy for Attorney's to take our money and take bribes from the drug lords to conceal the evidence and all facts from the FBI as this group has done from
1997 to most recently, March 2009.
My Civil Rights have been denied me due to too much power given to Attorney's and citizens actually having no rights when it comes to reporting corrupt Attorney's; corrupt banks; corrupt law enforcement. IN brief it can be said that while President Obama and some SEnators talk on TV about wanting more money given to law enforcement to investigate banks laundering drug money; the fact is; the agencies don't need more money; they need ethical people who actually meet with the complainant instead of
the FBI and DA's telling complainants to have Attorney's present the evidence to the FBI and "DA's. I know now; that whenever the FBI or DA's says "hire an Attorney to present the evidence and crimes to us"; that really means: "we want an Attorney to have his chance at getting your money and getting even more money from the drug lords to conceal all evidence from law enforcement because the prisons are too full and we don't have the time, money or staff or desire to prosecute banks and Attorney's laundering drug money". Also, drug money is trillions of dollars each year going through banks; if the government stopped that money going through banks; then it would hurt the banks and
change our lifestyle so I'm told in the Wall Street Journal. I personally don't care if the FBI or DA's prosecutes anyone for the crimes they did commit. I just want my Civil Rights to report the crimes and have the evidence of Public Record for one reason only: I continue to be set up from August 1996 to now and that's a very long time to see evidence of my being set up while at the same time Attorney's have prevented the FBI and DA's from meeting with me or allowing me my Civil Rights which factually have repeatedly been denied me by the Collin County FBI and
Collin County DA's from 1999 to now, April 4, 2009.

Comment posted by Anonymous on Sat, 09/13/2008 - 10:01amAs a former law enforcement official, I can not believe that you would support an agenda to legalize drugs. The collateral crime would stress out the CJ system beyound where it is now. Your policy or plan may work in a classroom in academia. It is naive at best, and tantamount to state sanctioned racism. The minority community would take the biggest hit because they lack the resources to successfully combat addiction, and would be ravaged by the collateral crime from scores of new addicts associated with crack cocaine, methamphetamines, and heroin. There is a difference between alcohol and those substances. Only death and jail can cure the heroin addict. Law Enforcement can not do it alone because drugs are a complex social problem. Rehabilitation and Education are the other two prongs in the equation. Without looking at your pedigree, I can only imagine that you are a retired Police Chief, teaching in Cambridge somewhere, with a vote for Obama pin proudly adorned to your chest, and listening to liberal talk radio on your drive home to suburbia.
