like order you know in a gunfight or something at the home that happens far too frequently is radley balko who's one of the journalists on the cases has documented. you know cory fortunately survived and was able to fight this conviction well we're almost out of time but very briefly what's what's the takeaway message here what do you hope we're all glad that that corey is out but what what do you hope this story and conspires just keep in mind well i would hope i would hope to inspire people to look much more critically in our war on drugs and at the casualties and i think very often the casualties are innocent people and we have to really question whether it's worth the money in the lives the life of an officer ron jones in this case it's a tragic situation let's tragic situation and unfortunately if it wasn't for the work of a very few reporters like radley balko whom you mentioned i wouldn't even know about it and you likely would have not been on the case thank you so much for taking the time to speak with i think you are thinking all right well partially that is it for this hour here
