Seems common practice for detectives to catch the low level criminals(crackheads) and turn them back on the streets to inform. I don't see why that couldn't be the case here. A crackheads loyalty is only towards the next hit.
I found it weird how he seems to be trying to convince Joe to run and then also mentions 17. There's other things I've seen mentioned in the past that speculate he's an informant for them now but I can't recall what it was. Overall I'm just starting to get this feeling.

Something about the 50% cut to Joe?
