A Taste of Cornbread & Potlikker

Just listened to an MPB news brief about the 60 Minutes story on the "abuse" of students at Ole Miss who were used as drug informants. To be honest, I didn't see the story and don't have all the details. My comments are not about whether mistakes were made, the accuracy of the investigation or the validity of law enforcement's tactics. What struck me was the MPB report - "students who sold drugs such as marijuana and were caught were pressured to become informants against their supplier and this put them at risk." The implication was that the actions of law enforcement were responsible for that risk..But I can't help but think that maybe- just maybe - the real responsibility lies in the act of selling illegal drugs and putting yourself in such a position.
