Maybe if the police would let them keep trafficking we could get rid of all the deadbeats collecting our hard earned tax money by being on disability & collecting government checks & food stamps (that they probably sell anyway)

Why does the Tribune feel the need to put every drug bust on FB? You do not put pics up for every bust so why just the drug busts?
