The police says that it is the worst

case of multiple murder

in the history of the city.

It is believed that the massacre

it is related with the drugs.

We speak of slaughters that in this time

they would have journalistic covering

of all the television channels.

That level of violence was to newspaper

and the local means,

because we were saturated of it,

they said:
"Ah, another double" homicide.

"Ah, another triple homicide."

It was common that we were

jumping of a scene from the crime to another.

He/she had to have more than four deads

so that it was important.

I remember five murders

that they happened one night.

They happened eight murders

in Dade in the last 48 hours.

You never knew when you will trip

with another body.

Miami looked like each other

to the slaughter of San Valentine's Day

of the 20s in Chicago.

Gnsteres managing for the streets

stopped of side

with their machine guns Thompson.45

tirotendose in Chicago in the 30s.

What happens here

he/she would make that Chicago,

in the days of the dry law

it seemed a picnic

of a Sunday school.

One of the policemen said

that he/she resembled Dodge City.

It seemed the Distant West then in that.

But he/she made a mistake, because Dodge City

it was never as violent as Io it was Miami.

Miami in the 80s were considered

the most dangerous place in the earth.

The city of the murder was Detroit,

then Atlanta, and now Miami.

In 1976, 104 murders were investigated.

The first seven months of 1979

they were the bloodiest

in the history of Florida of the South.

There were 573 homicides in 1980.

1981 will break another record

of murders in Miami.

I believe that there will be more than 600 murders

for anus ends.

While the traffic of drugs prospers,

the average of homicides

in Dade it will continue ascending.

The crime in Miami ascended and the tourism lowered.

In spite of the pessimism

that people predict,

we predict that we will have

more arrivals of tourists

in the area of Miami

for the summer

of Io that we had the passed anus,

that it was an exceptional anus.

For Fidel Castro it was the equivalent one

to a genocide act.

Of a single time, it liberated Cuba

of thousands and thousands of undesirable.

It emptied the jails, it tossed to the vagrants

of the streets of Havana.

Murderers, thieves, perverts,

prostitutes, slowed, discapacitados,

all joined

and they were sent Mariel Harbor

and of there in boats in address to Miami.

Fidel Castro declared openly:

"I threw of the chain of the bathrooms

of Cuba on EE UU."

And he/she bounced of it.

A ship came out toward EE UU

every 5 minutes,

Ilegaban without nuisances day and night.

It was something common in Florida of the South.

Shootings, dead people

and most of the time, the murderers

they are those that came from Cuba in 1980.

As consequence, the rate

of murders it was duplicated.

It was as if there is

correspondent an army invader

so that it violated, he/she stole

and it set on fire the city.

And it is Io that are making.

I assault serious, violations, robberies.

In little time,

we had bodies in the floor.

We had to heap them.

It was a shame.

There have been so many murders

in Miami lately

that a refrigerated truck is in use

for the office of the forensic surgeon of Dade

to keep the bodies.

They had fixed to rent it

to Burger King,

that he/she has the central office here.

It was very angry.

The martian have invaded us.

These types are unhinged.

To anybody it seemed to care him/her Io that happened

in the streets of Miami. For that reason I spoke.

Psychologically,

they are not even human.

They are animal... not even animals,

that it is an insult to the animal Kingdom.

Not there were law neither order.

We all carry weapons. My wife,

my two children.

They will see that I have a loaded shotgun

And we will shoot somebody.

I never traveled

for the county of Dade without being armed.

Not there is doubt on it.

I always had a he/she arms,

he/she didn't sleep well without her

especially in Miami of that time.

Edna Buchanan said in television

that it carries two weapons

and that all should make it.

Merret Steirheim,

then administrator of the county,

and the commissaries were furious,

so I was person it doesn't burnish for a while.

Miami was literally

being come below.

But the police help non Ilegara

due to lack

of personal in the department.

The federal agencies

they admit to be paralyzed

for the lack of men, money and resources.

The department of police of Miami

it left frantically to look for personal.

More policemen in the street

they will help to revert this tendency.

They used to have parameters.

Not to never have consumed drug

to be police.

They reduced it

to in the last 10 years

and that didn't work.

"In the last five years."

They didn't reach even this way.

Lastly, Io reduced

to the last two years.

And Ilegaron to a point

in that hired them

if they didn't consume in that moment.

That was

in the biggest crisis of police corruption

from the days of Serpico in New York.

The whole class of the academy of that anus

it finished in prison or dead.

They are already three the officials

that they arrested this weekend.

Today's arrests was given

while other seven

they are in accused trial

of stealing to the drug dealers

and of selling the drugs themselves.

The Policemen of the Cocaine

they have been accused of conspiracy,

traffic of drugs and organized crime.

The result, impacting...

40 policemen and former policemen

arrested or suspended

in the last two years.

Sixteen suspended

in the last two weeks.

And that is not everything.

At least 30 more policemen

they will be suspended.

The hand of the law failed in Florida of the South.

Then stop to work

and let us abandon the streets.

We are committed

seriously and we will recapture

the control of the streets another time.

The system of justice doesn't work here.

I suggest that we revise the whole concept.

CENTAC 26 entered in operations

in December of the 81.

There were 25 organizations previous CENTAC

in all EE UU.

CENTAC means

"Tactical Central" Unit.

Our main objective

he/she went to unite to homicides

with the division of drugs.

They had connections

with the Antidrug Agency, with the FBI.

We were fighting

with criminal's type

with who we had not fought before.

The instructions

that I gave they were very simple.

In difficult times,

they take difficult measures.

You could use any method

to take out somebody of the streets.

We will come undone of them

imprisoning them

or killing them.

It was a dedicated unit

to be more active than it reactivates.

It was a different way to make the work

and it was necessary then

due to the criminal's nature,

so much with the Colombians

as with the Cubans

that they came from Mariel.

Miami seems to be had

transformed into the Lost Paradise.

In the autumn-winter of 1981
