Real Life ’21 Jump Street’: Texas Cop Pretended To Be High School Students To Bust Drug Ring

21 Jump Street was one of the funniest movies to have come out in the past five years, but if I saw Channing Tatum or Jonah Hill wandering around pretending to be seniors in high school I’d hope kids would be smart enough to be like “Nah…definitely a narc.” Then again, kids are stupid. And you know when they’re extra stupid? When they’re trying to make money by selling drugs to other kids in their high school. Can’t you go do that shit at the mall or something? At least the mall doesn’t have teachers watching your every move, just a few overweight security guards trying to grab a paycheck.

But leave it to children to get arrested and fuck up what would normally be a lucrative business. My pot dealer didn’t even graduate high school, and yet he’s a league above these idiots who managed to be fooled into thinking that adults posing as students were actually students. Goddamn people. According to Daily Mail,

…an undercover drug sting in Houston has lead to the arrest of six high school students following an eight month operation.

The bust was spearheaded by one male narcotics officer, who posed as a high school senior between August 2014 and March 2015.

On top of the six arrests, an amount of cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs Xanax and Tramadol was also seized in the bust…

‘School is not a place that you should come in and try to sell your drugs, or come in and buy drugs, you go there to be educated,’ Sgt. James Brawner of the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office told Click2Houston.

Okay thanks for the lecture Dad, because for a second there I thought school was a place you go to so you can buy dolphins. Common misconception, I know. My bad.

The six arrests came from Pearland High School and Dawson High School in Houston, Texas. All arrested students were charged with various drug offenses, although the investigation is still reportedly ongoing.

No word yet on whether the undercover officer squandered his opportunity to royally trip his balls off while on the job.
