[ applause ] anthony: the city is the place where all the bad stuff was supposed to happen, it was not suppose to be nice towns like greenfield. man: it isn t the image that people used to have 20 years ago that it s a junkie in an alley somewhere using a needle. it s not. it s your kids, it s your neighbors. chris: the worst i think is when you have these young people who break a leg and they go to the doctor and get a prescription for oxy and become addicted to it. these are any kid who plays a high school sport. it s a horrible circumstance when that happens. man 2: it s only started in the past couple years. yeah, the heroin was around. pills were around but we didn t have people dying. anthony: once you ve been busted for heroin, that s a hard thing to live down. chris: got to get rid of that shame factor so people can deal with it, addr

sheriff, myself, the police department are all united. this task force has grown to over a hundred people in a matter of six months. and that s what we re committed to doing. and you know, we will do it until the day i die. woman: i lost one daughter to drugs. you know, whatever it takes. anthony: let s start by being honest with ourselves. as a nation, for decades, we were perfectly happy to write off whole neighborhoods, whole cities, whole generations of young men and women. as long as it was an inner city problem, an urban problem. which is to say, a black people problem, a brown people problem. send them to prison. into a system from which they ll never return. maybe now, now that it s come home to roost. now that it s the high school quarterback, your next-door neighbor, your son, your daughter. now that grandma is as likely to be a junkie as anyone else, we ll accept there s never been a real war on drugs. war on drugs implies an us versus them.
