The War On Miami - EP3 Vice & Virtue

By the mid-1980s, Miami looked like it was winning the drug war. New technology, computers, and intelligence centers gave law enforcement fresh tools to fight back. FDLE pushed for tougher laws, and for a moment, it seemed like order was returning to the streets. But beneath the surface, the city was changing again. Crack cocaine hit Miami with devastating force, creating a new wave of addiction, violence, and fear. At the same time, the “River Cops” scandal exposed shocking corruption inside Miami’s own police department—officers sworn to protect the city were working with the very traffickers they were meant to stop. This episode uncovers how traffickers adapted, how FDLE reshaped the battlefield, and how corruption nearly tore Miami apart from the inside. — 🔔 Subscribe to follow the full series. #WarOnMiami #FDLE #MiamiDrugWar #CocaineCowboys #CrackEpidemic #RiverCops #MiamiHistory #TrueCrime #DrugWar #MiamiViceEra #LawEnforcement
