Law enforcement agents swarmed into the Hill neighborhood Thursday morning in a drug gang sweep.
They arrested 11 alleged members and associates of the Slut Wave gang on drug and weapons charges, according to Sgt. Karl Jacobsen. Federal and state agents joined New Haven cops and the SWAT team in executing search warrants at four homes on Columbus Avenue, Rosette and Button streets, and Harding Place in Newhallville around 5 a.m.
At one home, two suspects hid behind an upright mattress with an assault rifle, according to Jacobsen.
He said the arrests were made without anyone getting hurt.
I guess we are making ourselves feel good with hese drug/gang arrest. And, people who would just assume see Balck men in prison anyway must be having a field day.
My questions are these: When will this city/nation start going Upstream and stopping this kind of criminal behavior (thinking) before it gets started? Or are we simply satisfied with continuing the anti-social behavior and simplistic thinking of standing Down-stream, catching the neglected boys turn to sociopathic bad men, and locking them away?
I fear the latter is true.
