Where did you get that from my statement? Making things up?
Well, $6 million divided 46 ways ... I hope it's over. (Then again, $6 million buys a lot of drugs.)
Furthermore, I hope that neighborhood of Tulia reverts back to the drug infested rat-hole sewer that it was, and law enforcement ignores all pleas for assistance in cleaning it up.
Of course, if I'm wrong and there never were any drugs in that neighborhood, then everyone will simply go back to living their lives in peace and quiet. Won't they, Lazamataz?
Unnecessarily contentious; furthermore, you seem to be hoping for bad outcomes for a given neighborhood.
I remember why I didn't bother posting to you all these years -- thanks for the reminder.
How? I mean if there was no drug dealing going on, as you say, then why would it start now? Should be a very peaceful neighborhood, right?
No need to send (white) cops there ... ever.
Yeah, I represent the cold, hard voice of reason, that's why.
You wanna know what's going on in Tulia today? Tell me that I wasn't 100% correct in my prediction. From the link:
"It turns out that Boyle, now a federal judge who declined interview requests about the decision, apparently has plenty of company among local, state and federal law enforcement officials in exercising an abundance of caution about enforcing drug laws in Tulia. The result, according to law enforcement officials and a multitude of residents in Tulia, is that drug dealing in this small town is running rampant, and Tulia’s children are at grave risk."
"CBS-11 News has been told that local, state and federal agencies are staying clear of Tulia because none is eager to subject themselves to similar charges of racism and civil rights lawsuits that would play out once again on a national stage in the largest media outlets. From what I understand, we’re pretty much hands off here,” Tulia Police Lt. Scott Given said. “If we need help, we’re not going to get it.”
"Drug dealing and usage on the streets of Tulia today, contrary to the popularly told media story of this town, have been allowed to grow unchecked for five years, residents, civil rights activists involved in the controversy and patrol officers all agree."
"Local authorities and a number of Tulia residents, among them both black and white citizens, say they believe most of those pardoned were guilty as originally charged and could well be contributing again to the drug problem - but with immunity from arrest this time."
