About time! We all know there are more dirty cops out there sad thing is this makes it harder for the good ones to do there jobs.
Billy White told my community to call him on his cell phone when ever we saw activity at the Barbar shop on State Street. (for those do not know it is a barbar shop that is open till wee hours of the morning, they deal drugs, prostitues and illeagal gambling in the back we knew about the gambling because the cops told us they knew but to leave them be) We wondered why nothing was happening....hmmm this now made our thoughts much more real we were all calling Billy and he had no intentions of doing anything! I have recived alot of calls since last night and there are alot of people hoping that the barbar shop is part of this investigation. For the first time in months they were not open last night. (wonder why!!) Lost there protection!

How's that "war on drugs" going.
Prohibition was a bad joke that led to the exact same corruption.
Legalization is the only way to control drug use and stop the wasting of literally BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars every year.
How much longer are we going to allow Al-quiada,the columbian cartels,the mexican cartels and the sicilian mob all profit off of our stupidity.
If we legalized and collected taxes on the drugs that are today being used illegally we could probably cut the income tax,the crime rate and the healthcare and social costs associated with drug use in half while at the same time offering free rehab on demand to those addicts who wanted to quit.
