Barry Cooper to Run for Texas Attorney General
April 16th, 2009 by Russ
A movement is building behind a Texas libertarian candidate who pledges to end the war on drugs. Ron Paul, you say? No dice. It’s former DEA agent, turned counterculture warrior, Barry Cooper. Speaking to a crowd of students at the University of Texas, Monday, Cooper announced his intentions to run for Attorney General in the upcoming state election.
Rehabilitated from the depths of the straight and narrow, Cooper now flies his freak flag with abandon. He has already become widely internet-famous for the creation of a series of safety lectures for weed growers entitled, “Never Get Busted.”
The video series educates weed entrepreneurs on DEA and police enforcement and surveillance tactics that could be potentially used against them.
Middle Americans have not seen a self-proclaimed outlaw make a serious run for public office since drug-culture icon, Hunter S. Thompson nearly was elected sheriff of Aspen, Colorado in 1970. While Thompson’s platform included such things as mandatory LSD trips for local police and renaming Aspen, “Fat City,” Cooper seems to be a bit more reserved in his thoughts on governance.
Cooper said:
Our goal from day one — and it has not changed — is to free our prisoners. We currently have 1 million people in jail for non-violent, drug-related crimes, and it makes no sense.
Unfortunately for Cooper, those million non-violent offenders are no longer afforded the right to vote. However, given the meteoric rise of Dr. Paul and other Lone Star oddballs, one thing seems clear: anything can happen in Texas.
Kop Busters: Turning the Tables on Crooked Cops
December 8th, 2008 by PerryFor conspiracy theorists, critics of law enforcement and those who have been falsely accused, a new Internet television show is currently in production just for you called “Kop Busters”.
Barry Cooper, a former Odessa, Texas police officer, is setting out to prove the innocence of those falsely accused. Cooper said he knows there is corruption out there, and his show is dedicated to going across the country, finding and exposing it. Just like “Cops,” except with more karmic justice. Me likey.
And after the jump, actual police raid footage in the raw, brought to you by Kopbusters.com.
Never Get Busted Again – Site Launch
January 5th, 2007 by Alex
The wait is over to see the highly anticipated Never Get Busted Again instructional DVD.
As previously reported, Barry Cooper – former “Top Narcotics Officer” – has created what is being called one of the most complete anti-drug detection videos ever produced.
This release is getting a lot of press specifically because Barry was a former police officer, getting paid to put people behind bars. Through his years in law enforcement, he became disillusioned by all the pain caused through drug busts and gained a new perspective on America’s War on Drugs.
Barry’s accomplishments seem to be genuine. He has the video footage, arrest records, performance certificates and detection training to prove that he is what he appears to be – a knowledgeable ex-police officer.
Whether his product is going to deliver the promised goods is yet to be seen.
As I write this, we’re getting a copy of Never Get Busted Again into the office. Look forward to a full breakdown of what we hope will be a ground-breaking effort in bringing drug legalization to the forefront of the American consciousness.
Former NARC Teaches How to Hide Drugs
December 28th, 2006 by Tim
So here’s the deal – there’s this Texas drug agent, Barry Cooper, that’s creating quite a stir in state law enforcement circles. According to his ex-peers, Barry’s turning his back on the good guys and now, to turn a profit, helping the so-called bad guys.
He’s produced a video called “Never Get Busted Again,” that will help potential traffickers better conceal and/or hide drugs, avoid narcotics profiling and fool canines every time.
Barry Cooper had this to say about his upcoming video:
My main motivation in all of this is to teach Americans their civil liberties and what drives me in this is injustice and unfairness in our system.
The former narcotics officer is highly decorated and was considered one of the top drug cops during his tenure in the police force. An ex-colleague had this to say:
He was even better than he says he was. He was probably the best narcotics officer in the state and maybe the country during his time with the task force.
Expect Barry’s website to launch by Tuesday of next week, with the video shortly following.
Cheers Barry Cooper, I look forward to checking out your vid.
