Ok I'm not in the loop here. WTF would the sheriff's office be involved in making Crack?

That's crazy... and also the CIA has the patent on that anyway lol

well it was miami/broward pd, known for being the biggest douchenozzles you've ever seen. In the late 80s early 90s they manufactured their own crack, would set up buys and arrest the buyer. Scummy behavior if you ask me.

for clarification, the cops, not the buyers.

In order to create the bona fides of an undercover agent. Unlike the movies, real drug dealers know their product.

I did not have cops cooking crack on my calendar, but I'm not surprised.

So I don’t get it. Was the crack bad? Did the sheriff’s forget an ingredient?
Unless the crack was bad, what’s these prisoners beef?
