Drugs: Cops spurn street-corners, focus on homes :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime


Excellent work officers. Yesterday, or the day before, 9 million dollars worth of marijuana was found in a warehouse, and now a more effective strategy is implemented going after the "Big Cheese". While reading the article, the numbers were indeed staggering, compared to what they were seizing last year. The article also detailed how these criminals took a different approach to sell their deadly trade. Replacing their own "foot-soldiers" with users, to avoid diminishing ranks in numbers of gang members, is a pretty dumb strategy. God only knows how "short" these users came up on a daily basis. But when the heat is on, and gang membership is on the decline, due to sitting behind bars, getting desperate is the only outcome.

Again, excellent work officers. Keep hitting them where it really hurts.
