Larry Davis, a former New York city resident with the persona of an ‘80s hood folkloric figure, was assassinated in Shawangunk Concentration Camp in upstate New York, reportedly on Feb. 19 after being shanked (knifed) numerous times while he was in captivity. Larry Davis' name is huge in the streets of Black ghettos across Amerikkka because he was drug dealer who worked directly for the pigs and wanted to quit, so the police sent a hit squad to kill him.
When they kicked in his door, they were met with gunfire, and a number of the officers who were sent to assassinate him were seriously injured, while Larry escaped. Seventeen days later, he was cornered and taken captive.
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.
