I’m seeing some of the comments at least see this as overkill. One flat out called it that and acknowledged that this crap is killing their reputation with the public.
One commented that letting them flush the dope is more punishment than the courts would give.
Now that gives me an idea. Cops show up at a suspected drug house. Give them some time before going to the door. Be patient, wait for the door to open.
“Hello, we just wanted to invite your children to a cook out, and invite you to a townhall meeting so we can discuss police interaction with the public.”
Then walk away smiling at the thousands of dollars of drugs making a sewer gator happy.
