I felt like this was a very important interview to bring to the community because of the media push behind this drug dealing government agent Frank Lucas in the recent box-office release "American Gangster." In the film, Lucas is viewed as the "kingpin" behind the heroin boom of the ‘60s and ‘70s that was coming out of areas affected by the Vietnam War instead of the U.S. government, the real masterminds behind the drug trade.
Larry Davis' story is free of any government sanctioned embellishments. Larry was working for the police. He didn't want to do it any more, so they tried to kill him. He shot some of them in that particular police home invasion, and got away, and eventually was captured. After BET, the makers of the television series "American Gangster," contacted Larry Davis, who was being held captive, about doing his story, he ended up dead.
