 YOUR
SOURCE FOR CALIFORNIA, NATIONAL & GLOBAL
BREAKING NEWS
by Kris Hermes
The
photo of a law enforcement agent conducting
a raid on a state-sanctioned medical marijuana
dispensary in Culver City,
posted last week by ASA’s Rebecca Saltzman,
has attracted significant
online attention. The photo depicts the
agent carrying a box marked “DEA,” and wearing a
t-shirt with the word “Blackwater” and its logo
on it. Blackwater is a private security company
that has deployed personnel in Iraq and is
increasingly being used for international drug
interdiction efforts. Blackwater has recently
come under fire with Congress on its
dealings with the federal government. Given that
no private company has taken part in federal
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids on
medical marijuana dispensaries, the obvious
question on people’s minds is whether the DEA is
using Blackwater personnel to carry out its
misguided war on medical marijuana in states
like California. That question was amplified
when the Los Angeles Times photograph taken was
removed from its website Friday without
explanation. I was able to speak today with
Tami Abdollah, the Los Angeles Times (LAT)
reporter who wrote the
article associated with the photo of the
agent wearing a Blackwater t-shirt. First,
Abdollah explained that at the time of the raid
(when the photo was taken) she had asked about
whether the agent in question was a Blackwater
employee, but was not given a straight answer.
After the raid, and after the story had been
published by the LAT, Abdollah was contacted by
Sarah Pullen, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles
office of the DEA. Pullen requested that the
face of the agent wearing the Blackwater t-shirt
be blurred because he was an undercover agent
and the photo might jeopardize his apparent
anonymity. At the same time, Pullen assured
Abdollah that the “undercover” agent was in fact
an employee of the Drug Enforcement
Administration and has never been an employee of
Blackwater. Pullen also felt it necessary to
explain to Abdollah that the request to blur the
agent’s face and the fact that he was wearing a
Blackwater t-shirt was completely coincidental.
In a subsequent conversation with the DEA,
Abdollah was told that the agent was not
undercover for the raid, but does routinely
engage in undercover operations.
According to Abdollah, the Photo Desk at the
LAT has a policy of not altering photos, so
their response was simply to pull the photo from
circulation. After I expressed concern that the
sequence of events still seemed suspect,
Abdollah assured me that she would continue to
follow up on the matter.
In the meantime, certain questions that come
to mind are: why would an undercover agent,
concerned about maintaining anonymity, conduct a
circus-like, paramilitary-style raid in broad
daylight with media swarming around? Doesn’t the
DEA realize that by censoring a controversial
photo, it is ensuring greater exposure of it,
thereby creating a greater identity risk for the
agent? Is it not careless, to say the least,
when police are supposed to be explicitly
identified during such enforcement actions, to
have one of the agents conducting the raid be
identified as Blackwater?
I will post more as I and others uncover it.
Stay tuned as to whether the DEA is telling the
truth, or trying to conceal its relationship
with Blackwater in carrying out raids on medical
marijuana providers, or trying to make an
embarrassing situation of mis-identity go away.
