Oh my. Where I live again after growing up here. In one case the gang pistol whipped an 8-year-old child during a home invasion. What is up with gang members these days?

One thing I can say in my short time in PC is that the cops here are making a difference and intend to do more.

They all seem to have something in common.
But I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Leave whitey out of this. All scum they rounded up are black and brown. Perhaps one white looking Hispanic woman. You cannot make out the names.

“FDC is proud to work in concert with our law enforcement partners as part of our of public safety mission,” said FDC Secretary Ricky Dixon. “This partnership represents an ongoing effort and our commitment to identifying and preventing criminal activity from occurring within our walls. Our staff is dedicated to ensuring a safe environment for those entrusted to our care and furthering public safety for all Floridians.”
FDLE Commissioner Rick Swearingen said, “Meticulous investigative work led to the identification of local and statewide gang leadership ensuring this Blood-affiliated criminal gang can no longer terrorize our communities. Thank you to our FDLE agents, Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of Statewide Prosecution for making Florida safer.”
The investigation has been able to identify the ranking structure and numerous members of the gang, operating both inside and outside of prison and in the county jail, in Polk County, in various other areas of the state of Florida, and in North Carolina. Detectives uncovered multiple instances of coordinating crimes, directing and coordinating gang activities, recruitment of new gang members, discussing bond payments, and gang financing, including setting and collecting gang dues.
Detectives served six search warrants throughout the investigation in Lakeland (2), Winter Haven, Mount Dora, Orlando, and Lake City.
Illegal drugs, firearms, and currency seized:
- 21.45 Pounds of Methamphetamine
- 2,595 grams of cocaine
- 3,051 grams of cannabis
- 249 grams of MDMA
- 719 grams of Synthetic Cannabis
- 7.86 grams of Fentanyl (one gram can kill hundreds)
- 28 grams of Mushrooms
- 8 grams of Alprazolam
- 52 grams of Oxycodone
- 1846 grams of Promethazine
- 18 firearms
- $17,514.00 in US currency
The total street value of the drugs confiscated is over $1.5 million.

Looking at the pic in post 6, just remember... profiling is racist. < /s>
It's good to have adults trying to clean up the lawlessness so endemic these days. Unlike other places, I don't see any Soros-funded activist DA letting these dirtbags out within 24 hours, bail-free.

Judd is one of Florida’s best sheriffs, and Polk County is a pretty tough beat.

Judd likes the TV camera, but he does back it up with his action. Could he run for President in the future? The FIB would crap their pants.

The wokeists will be in fetal positions of anger and social outrage if you call these “accused” black without checking their pronouns.
