Most people secretly dream of seeing their life story on the big screen. Apparently the New York City Drug Enforcement Agency doesn’t feel the same. The DEA is suing the people behind American Gangster for 50 million dollars, claiming that the film wrongly portrayed them as corrupt.The film lets on that Frank Lucas, a drug king, gave information that led to the arrest of many DEA agents, but the DEA says that isn’t true. The outcome may rest on figuring out if American Gangster was publicized as a true story or not.In the meantime, watch director Ridley Scott’s take on the film and 
to learn what your rights are when dealing with police, corrupt or not.

Funny, I had never thought of it before either.
Now I may.
I would like to see someone like Barry Cooper, if I was picking a law enforcement hero for his story.
He would be interesting.
As for corruption, how can we not see it is rampant. Why are we surprised?
Man is not an angel.
Maybe some are getting close.
Bravo, Barry!

ONE Texas Ranger
Inspired by Barry Cooper
ONE Texas Ranger has seen a light, and left behind his peers.
He shows us how to hide our stash. Let’s give him three big cheers.
After fighting a dirty drug war, undercover of the night,
He tired of violence, grief and horror. He saw a senseless fight.
Man made drugs are rampant now, because many live in pain.
Cannabis was a wonderful gift, like the sun, and moon and rain.
In the face of prohibition, we must all stand up as one.
To demand a lawful change, and make our lives more fun.
Barry Cooper, EX Texas Ranger, is ONE man who wants to end,
Man’s stupid law against a plant that was nature’s way to mend.
I think that to grow and smoke it, was to be a God given right.
We, THE PEOPLE, can change the law, if we just use all our might!
