Skype 13
We are meeting with a man who works with the DEA, Eric Donnelly. The man from our perspective, is a determined, soul driven by his will, casing out the suspects in drug movements and assists in taking them into custody. He also gives off a calm, ringing vibe that whispers that he may be a little beaten down by the job's work, though still eager to share his life.
Eric discusses his priorities at work, and he even gives us some insight into drug smuggling. Specifically, Opiod smugglers. He dreams of being a pilot but currently isn't an experienced pilot, so he stays here. Eric ensures us that he enjoys what he does. The workforce he takes to demands that he has to leave the country from time to time. Eric even regards memories of being shot at, but I guess that shouldn't be surprising given the law enforcement he's employed in. He even admits that the most disgusting part of his job is when they bust into homes where PARENTS are doing the drugs. In messing up their minds, they don't care about their child or they abuse them. Eric gifts us a quote that for some people, define his entire character. "When coming home after sometimes killing anyone, I don't really think about it. I just move on to the next day."
Eric begins giving a short summary of what fighting in the war on drugs is like. On the field, law enforcement agents of the DEA are under orders to completely destroy the agenda of whatever enemy they point their guns at. Some criminals either don't want to be caught or fight to their last breath. No matter the reason, they almost always engage in a gunfight with the smugglers. Being targeted off the clock can happen too. It shouldn't be a shock because criminals would want to always hand the offensive move to the law. Seeing as the smugglers may be addicts to the drug itself, they can be unpredictable in their actions. At the end of the day, criminals die, agents die, but at least the agents died protecting, and the criminals died failing.
