MyFox Los Angeles | Citizens Learning about Being a DEA Agent
The Drug Enforcement Administration wants people to know exactly what it’s like to do some of the dangerous work that agents do every day… so the DEA started the “Citizens Academy” program.
You’ve really got to click the link and watch the short video. It features one of those “shooter simulations” that police use for testing. Various encounters are role played with the subject either shooting or not shooting at targets that represent dangerous criminals and innocent bystanders. It’s a bit scary when one of the reporters guns down one of the innocents and the drug warrior laughs about what bad headlines that will produce. Ha ha ha, innocent person gunned down by heavily armed police trying to stop weed smoking. Very funny.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
