The War on Drugs has taken a temporary cease-fire in Dickinson, Texas, after 27 people got thrown in the pokey Wednesday morning. I know
these stories are supposed to have a "gee, look what a good job we're doing" effect on the public, but I don't understand how. Read this quote from the Dickinson Police Chief:
"This has been going on since the late '70s in Dickinson in that area and it has progressively gotten worse," Morales said.
Ok Mayor, your turn:
Mayor Veta Winick said the arrests should have an impact on narcotics trafficking. "It shows that we are on top of it and very well aware of it and watching it and maybe they (drug dealers) will just decide to go someplace else," Winick said.
You're on top of it? It's been a known drug area for 30 years, and 27 arrests in 2005 shows you're
on top of it? I sure am glad Dickinson didn't elect incompetent city officials.
Also, anyone that thinks it's now impossible to buy cocaine or crack in Dickinson, please let me know. I've got some ocean-front property for sale in Dickinson you'd probably be interested in.
