Hey, it worked for OJ.

That doesn't fly with me, I know OJ is guilty as all hell.

After theses arrests, did the drug problem in Tulia go away?

From what I read about this fiasco, there wasn't a drug problem in Tulia to begin with.

Where do you get your news, drugs-r-us.com?

"But while the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union claim the arrests were racially motivated, some of Tulia's black residents are praising police for wiping out a big drug problem in the Panhandle town of about 5,000 that lies in Swisher County between Lubbock and Amarillo."

"At a rally held Monday night, a black minister disagreed with the NAACP and ACLU. "When you live in a town this size, it is a known fact that everyone knows what everybody else is doing. And to overlook something because it's a certain group is just not right," said the Rev. Matthew Veals."

"Ike Malone, a black resident whose two daughters were arrested, supports the police as well."
--cnn.com (10/10/00)

If those arrested were white, would this be a story 4 years later? Ya think the ACLU and the NAACP are keeping it going?
