Drugs and crime subjects of Coleman's CofC meeting speech "...When you think Meth, think violence, because it keeps people up for days at a time, is used by the manic individual coming through the front door - it doesn't kill as quickly as the opioids we're fighting, it's a slow killer destroying the body over time, but it causes so much violence it is a real public safety risk to families and law-enforcement..." - USA Coleman By Linda Waggener United States Attorney Russell Coleman, the chief federal law enforcement officer in the 53-county Western District of Kentucky, raised his cell phone in the air and told the July Chamber of Commerce meeting audience, "If I were speaking to the campers on the other side of this center, I would pull out my cell phone and say this is one of the most dangerous items in your home." He said cell phones are used to track our kids, sell things to kids and commit some horrible actions toward kids. He said he sees things come across his desk that makes him more of a helicopter parent because predators use cell phones for criminal acts. Fraudsters, he said, are gaining access to information and using names that sound local, and even using cell phone numbers with local names attached to lure people into answering, talking with and possibly clicking on or releasing banking information. He said most of his time, however, is spent on illegal drugs and all of the violence surrounding the illegal drug sales industry. Cartels south of the border, he said, are creating killer drugs they are marketing in very sophisticated ways. He said the market is flooded. Louisville is really getting dumped on and just one small amount of one substance can and cause a kids death - one pill. With the margin of error so slim, we have no room, if we're going to save the children. He said we can't arrest our way out of this crises. We must do a better job on the prevention front. I talk with my 11-year-old daughter about avoiding drugs. Operation parent in Oldham County is doing some great work with kids by putting information into middle schools. "I encourage you - have those conversations," he said. "Meth - Methamphetamines - is hurting our families. When you think Meth, think violence, because it keeps people up for days at a time, is used by the manic individual coming through the front door - it doesn't kill as quickly as the opioids that we're fighting, it's a slow killer destroying the body over time, but it causes so much violence it is a real public safety risk to families and law-enforcement."
