I agree totally with you.

Will these guns be sold to Mexican drug cartels by the government also?

Detroit, a feral city.

Life began in Africa, human life,

i bet Kim is a Democrat

Police arrested 3 people and sized 45 vehicles… I guess we are seeing how Detroit pays for it’s police force…

*seized

leave the gardeners alone, get the powders and pills.

There goes the govt, ruining the local economy again.

For how long, until the overcrowded prisons release them for “crimes that didnt hurt anyone” LMAO

Because THEY ARE THE NEIGHBORHOODS from which these FERAL humans live, DON’T YOU GET IT!!! Change the way your race chooses to live and stop breeding in the “one-parent” families. THAT’S WHY !!!!!!! Start teaching values and morals.

This is sure to save Detroit so much money. Locking up 90 people for as many years as possible will certainly help the deficits. The exaggerated $3.5M and numerous confiscations of vehicles are sure going to help with all the court casts and overtime.

Does anybody else think that the war on drugs is a blatant waste of the peoples resources.

Its time to end the war on the drugs and the people of America.

Ron Paul 2012

Policing for profit, not protecting the citizens is the priority in Detroit.

actually, the founder of PP created it as a genocidal weapon against minorities. not kidding. look it up.

“Godbee said special attention is being paid to “open air drug dealing,” where drugs are bought and sold hand to hand from cars. He says dealers are brazenly blocking traffic in some neighborhoods and places of businesses while drug sales are going down, and citizens are intimidated if they complain.”

this is what ive been saying about the refusal of Govt to stop the drug problem by carrying out this charade, which does not sto teh problem, just keeps THEM IN JOBS, of allowing crime to go on with a pretense of “wanting to catch the big fish.”

Knock out the little fish and the big ones have no one to SELL DRUGS THROUGH.

But, the Police State has gotten away with this CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.

Maybe we should put more abortion clinics in black neighborhoods-thus cut expences on welfare for singles mothers with many children from different sperm donors and cut the crime perpetrated by chidren that never had parental supervision or proper upbringing teaching them from right and wrong….

What is that statement an argument for?

The people are broke? Seems like the people in Detroit have money for drugs.

your brand of white trash is painfully overwhelming. What’s the best part of being a seedy redneck? Knowing that if you get your GED and hold down that job at Wendy’s, maybe you can rent that apartment in Roseville? But way to go, tough guy, slander an entire race from behind your mom’s computer. Real tough. I’d like to see you say one word that even resmebles your idiotic dribble to a black dude in person, but obviously your little biitch asss would get stomped. Thanks for making the rest of us white dudes totally ashamed, you pond sucking clown shoes.

So government protects the poppy fields in afghanistan with the military. The government runs guns to mexico.

The government puts together police forces to bust those that “deal” drugs. So when does dealing anything actually have an impact on society?

Our same government condones the lottery, alcohol, tobacco, and makes a killing off of it all. States can run lotterys yet can’t balance their books. They make a tax on alcohol and throw you in jail when you drink it and drive.

It’s an upside down country and soon the chickens are going to come home to roost.

Something tells me it’s a bit difficult for a law abiding citizen to own and carry a gun in these places of the country but it does appear as if the criminals have no problem getting them. Wonder who they are getting them from?

Don’t tell it to the president because the people don’t seem to have $28 for birth control.

I don’t know what birth control for a woman costs but that’s what one woman said she couldn’t afford a month.

I can only hope and pray that the violence gets so bad that they kill each other off.

and I bet 550 of the arrests are back on the street

God Bless Margaret Sanger. She saw the situation we are declining towards today.

Equally important is what happened to the 600 arrested? Back out on the street of course.

The big problem with legalizing drugs is this: what are all the violent armed gang bangers going to do for a living after legallization? Street sales will still be illegal. Only specialty stores will legally sell drugs.

wow you are a natural comedian. You should get a job with 2 1/2 men. Then when I commit suicide, at least there will be something to pin it on.

The name of the game is confiscation! Fill them coffers!

If it’s illegal to drink and drive, why do they let bars have parking lots?

Black/white DNA = wide variance. Any Bio chemist with PHD in Nano tech will confirm. Go to Transparency International and find out Scandanavia, most honest. Italy most corrupt Western country.

What percentage of women with children are married in Detroit? Are there any at all?

Detroit is the leading example of the failure of the Democrat liberal ideology. They virtually destroyed the American black family and now we all pay the price.

You reap what you…. vote.

Obama Detroit: feral Zimbabwe, but with more crime

The perfect Democrat community

hey joe: white people dont need to “say” anything to “a black dude in public” to get assaulted or robbed. all that white people need to do is behave like evolved caucasians and they will be attacked by primates. are you a primate, joe? if not, see a doctor for your severe case of white guilt.

Don’t call this a police state. It does not take a lot of effort to identify the hard core criminals. This is something that should have been done a long time ago and should continue. Now what we need are judges willing to sentence these criminals to real prison terms. Now is not to time to start crying about how throwing people in jail just makes better criminals and destroys these communities. Rampant violence destroyed these communities. I am in law enforcement in NYC and can tell you from experience step one to reclaiming Detroit is getting the thugs off the street. Whining about the root causes of crime and feeding the welfare state got Detroit -as well as NYC, Chicago, Newark Philly, L.A. Ect. into this mess. Do we want to see our major cities burn like London? Get real and get tough. Power to you Detroit.

Just glad that I don’t live in Detroit. Whew!!! Go coddle the PC crowd and click your heals 3 times. Maybe it will go away. LOL.

Diversity, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our rights:
They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
Impeach Obama.

They even raided Flukies tent

Sounds good in a way. But in america now it’s “anything you use will be used against you”>

So Alex you have identified the real culprits? Do you mean our troops in Afghanistan growing the poppies, or the CIA shipping it here along with the cocaine?
Are you going to start an honest war against the elite who profit from these things or the banks who get hundreds of billions laundering the cash.
I am sure you are a “good” officer, but I am afraid you really don’t have a clue what is going on in the USA.
When the revolution starts who are you going to side with the people or the corruption at the top?
We have the highest rates of incarceration in the world and yet you deny this is a police state?
Please for God’s sake and the sake of your progeny educate yourself.

Do they have to pay taxes on the CONFISCATED cash and drugs????

Looking at this cynically, that’s an alleged $3.5 million out of one of the more tumultuous economies domestically.

http://rhymeandreasonable.com/2011/07/24/cake-having-cake-eating/

Black market is better than no market, right? That’s the next hot jobs trend….under the table work

Detroit is lost put a fence around it and let them kill each other than we can rebuild

Hey Joe: the “Stomping” you refer to happens all the time. Only it isn’t just one “black dude” its a whole bunch of them on one “white dude”. I was in school in the late 60′s when we had forced integration. The blacks that came into our school used to gang up on whites and beat them up. It was always a group of them on one white kid. We did nothing to them except have a nice school for them to come in and destroy. OH TO HAVE PICKED MY OWN COTTON!

We gave civil rights to an uncivil race of people.

Hmmm 200 k for 45 pounds of weed wow if weed cost that much no one would smoke it. LOL 45 pounds is only about 36000 dollars. Padding the numbers to make the uneducated feel better that the government spent probably 200k plus to get those 90 plants… true street value of 36,000 bucks. And people wonder why so many don’t trust the police.

Prisons are BIG Business Texas has 112 prisons. Creates a lot of jobs. Jails should be like Psych treatment facilities., were people are being helped not just punished.

Am I the only one who thinks that the estimated value of the 540g of cocain is a tad inflated. $216,000 for 540g would be $400/g, that’s way high.

Sterilize, nut, whatever it takes. That’s the only solution to this degenerate problem.

man this article is so full of lies if drugs cost the prices they would have you believe then no one would buy them. CBS will be off my list of people i gather news from.

Did anyone else notice how the data is “massaged?” For example, Marijuana seizures are typically listed in pounds, but in this story is it listed in grams. If you divide the amount of grams listed (10,442) by the number of grams in a pound, ( 459.59237) you find that it is roughly 23 lbs. To me, 23 lbs doesn’t sound like much. Also, the alleged “street value” of $104,000 in reference to said 23 sounds seems inflated as well. Therefore I find this information to be “War on Drugs” propaganda, as opposed to pure facts. “Just facts, please.”

Negroes are God’s punishment on humanity

Thank you Lyndon B Johnson. You get a very big share of the credit.

You are incorrect. Check YOUR state for concealed carry laws/permits… 38 states allow it. What is your excuse ?

or, you can arm yourself. what is YOUR excuse for not doing so ?

Drugs- Just legalize the stuff. Price drops to ten cents a ton. Those who want to use the trash should be allowed to die in their vomit. All problems solved. It’s Libertarian. You should be one too.

would the freedom of information act allow me to get a picture of each person arrested, with their race ? just askin…..

They forgot to mention the expected value of the 45 cars when impounded or sold at auction. More money, more money.

Accusations of Sara Palin being the snitch in 3…2…

AIDs began in Africa also……. go ‘figger.

The prisons are already overcrowded. These arrests will not stop until employment improves and young black males have something better to do than commit crimes. This is a ticking time bomb and the fuse is very short.

Who is really bringing the drugs in? The war on drugs is a hoax on the american people using poor minorities to fullfill an agenda.

616 arrests…616 less votes for Obama!!!! yippeeeeeeeee

War on drugs= The biggest hoax in usa history.

$104,—–420 lol —– the value of the weed “on the street” ~ bull*^%^~ unless it’s Detroit Diesel

The number of arrests means nothing if these monkeys aren’t locked away for a long time..They’re never as tough in prison as they are on the street…Simple reason is because on the outside they’re predators and on the inside they’re prey…

drug war has become the major vehicle of militarization in Latin America. It’s a vehicle funded and driven by the U.S. government and fueled by a combination of false morals, hypocrisy and a lot of cold, hard fear. The so called “war on drugs” is really a war on people, especially youth, women, indigenous peoples and dissidents. The drug war has become the main way for the Pentagon to occupy and control countries at the expense of whole societies and many, many lives.

Too hell with abortions, spray them all.

This is interesting. No names, no mention of the race of the perps. We pretty well know what THAT means now, don’t we?

90% of blacks give the other 10% a bad name.

I like the first paragraph; “netting them millions of dollars in drugs.” Wink Wink Nod Nod

Medical marijuana is a threat to both the profits and power of drug companies, not to mention the credibility of the DEA. Letting grannies smoke pot in California makes DEA agents look silly. If it were allowed, it would also undermine the billions of dollars already spent incarcerating people for “pot crimes.” Basically, it would make the whole War on Drugs look stupid. Which it most assuredly is, at least when it comes to marijuana.

I can understand taking a tough stance on hard drugs (crack, meth, heroin, etc.), but arresting cancer patients who smoke joints for pain control sounds a lot more like oppression than law enforcement to me.

So what is the War on Drugs? It’s an excuse to control you. It is a system that keeps the population in a state of constant fear so that heroic politicians can get elected on empty promises to “keep fighting the war on drugs!”

I don’t care what blacks in Detroit do, as long as they stay out of white neighborhoods.

Intrigued by headlines telling us “street value” of drugs when the police burn them or maybe steal them. Why? The war on drugs is a cruel joke.

Yeah, that the way I read this story. Bragging about busting people for a few Grams, is pathetic. Most everyone who is braging is doing so for tons or and least pounds of drugs. “”"”GRAMS”"”"”"!!!
Then again, who is running Detroit? What race are they?
I bet, most are payed money under the table to look the other way.
For Detroit being soooo poor, how are they getting that kinda of money out of a few grams? ..another fluf job by the propaganda branch of the media to make lib government look like they are getting something done.

The War on Drugs, you see, turns a blind eye to the death and suffering caused by these drugs. The DEA pretends prescription drugs don’t even exist. No prescription drug death has ever been prevented by the DEA as far as I know. Yet 100,000 Americans are killed each year by FDA-approved drugs. The DEA has no interest whatsoever in protecting Americans from these drugs. Ever wonder why?

The DEA is properly named, by the way. It’s the Drug Enforcement Agency. It’s enforcing drugs. The right drugs. The legal drugs. The drugs that make money for drug companies, drug distributors, drug retailers, cities, states and countries. It’s enforcement at gunpoint, and as long as the money keeps flowing, the drugs will stay perfectly legal, regardless of who dies.

The entire distribution system is well in place: the false and misleading television advertising, the outright bribery of drug dealers (doctors), the street corner fulfillment centers (pharmacies), and the coordinating drug lord running the show (the Fraud and Drug Administration). It’s a brilliant system for manufacturing, promoting, delivering and selling deadly, addictive drugs to children, adults and seniors while generating corporate profits and tax revenues for cities, states and nations.

And that’s the raw truth about the War on Drugs. You may not like it, but now, at least, you know why it exists.

So I have a common sense question for all the people in this country. If you support the War on Drugs, then why are you taking so many drugs yourself? And why are you allowing your children to be drugged?

Isn’t it ironic when you have the US Army patroling around poppies, and the Detroit police confiscating the heroin made from those poppies that the US Army was protecting.

They don’t link the arrest with Barry, just like they don’t link the economy with Barry. It’s Barry or nothing….sorry to disappoint you.

Thjey don’t have $28 dollars a month for birth control, cuz thaT MONEY IS BEING USED TO BUY DRUGS, BY THE GRAM.

[...] Detroit Police Raid 90 Homes, Arrest Over 600, Net $3.5 Million in Drugs is the latest report from the drug war battlefield, this time massively declining Detroit. If nothing else, it paints a clear picture of how much territory has been lost to the enemy since the war started. If this was a regular war, we would have recognized our defeat long since. [...]

Bingo sticky! The numbers don’t add up, unless you are a liberal or you are smoking this stuff.

Detroit … what a wasteland. Nuke it now before it is too late. 1 megaton should do it. Wouldn’t even have to clean it up … land would be too radioactive for a couple of zillion years.

Oh sorry … a little extreme? Ok … just give more guns to all the porch sitting monkeys and let them kill each other off.

Detroit should take all the funds and property they confiscate and use it for funding a new jail for these criminals, kind of like shooting themselves in the foot. Then tell their families (who know what they are doing) thta they have to provide meals and clothing to their loved one in jail. This becomes a self funded prison system.

If they go after the illegal drug industry, the police will destroy what’s left of the Detroit economy.

A gram of heroin is $1700? I think not.

I guess the cops had over 600 warrants? Cops are getting rich on prohibition. Legalize drugs and the taxpayers would have saved billions.

Research.., one needs to ask, why are they talking about grams?
Thats all they could find? … or is that how much the police smoked?

What can you expect for corrupt lib government, lying their bumbs off, every second of their lives.

Vince, if you gave every Black male a million dollars, within a year, most all of them would be back to this BS.

The culture has to change, and thats not going to happen, cuz the lib cracker masters have the blacks right where they want them, back on the plantation.
Under their thumb.

Umm, it stands for drug enforcement administration…

Wootendw, you just said the most true thing anyone has said on this thread.
..and it is a hugh understatement.

You win the MM’s for the day. Congrats..

I SEE A LOT OF HATE MAIL BUT…….WHEN ALL THE JOBS…. ARE GONE….. TO CHINA IN YOUR TOWN OR CITY YOU WILL TURNED INTO A CUTTHROAT WITH NO MORALES……WHY DID OUR FOREFATHER FIGHT IN WARS SO WE CAN HAVE A BETTER LIFE .BUT THIS CORRUPTED GOVERMENT CATERS TO THE SUPER RICH AND ALLOWS THEM TO MOVE ALL OF OUR …YES OUR JOBS.TO OTHER SLAVE COUNTRIES. WE SPLLED BLOOD IN WARS FOR THIS COUNTRY IT’S :WE THE PEOPLE NOT WE THE CORPERATIONS PLACE HIGH TARIFFS ON ALL IMPORTS THEY MUST PAY… TO HAVE ACCESS TO OUR MARKETS

im sure someone will be yelling RACISM

Just good natured folks having fun.

Its a whole generation of feral street urichins, raised Fartherless and Godless.

Bingo Larry.
It has been traced back to monkeys and the chimps uses in the late 1950 & early 1960′s space program.

So one needs to ask, how do you get aids?
1) Blood trasfusion
2) Using the same needle as a infected person/being
3) Unprotected sex.

So my question to you and everyone is. If Aids came from Chimps/monkeys, then how was it spread>

1) Chimps and moneys are hugh humanitarians and give blood to folks in Africa all the time?????
2) Chimps and monkeys have a hugh drug problem and like to do drugs with the folks in Africa all the time????Use the same needle all the time?
3) The Folks in Africa like to have sex with all the Chimps and monkeys all the time?????????? I have to admit, that I have never heard of child support being paid to a chimp or/and monkey.

Man, the economy be SOOOO bad up dere, and now brothas be tryin’ to make an honest livin’, and po po be tryin’ ‘em yo? Those young entrepreneurs need to be left alone! Now go raise taxes on Whitey, I gotta go watch Maury….

Detroit….
Badly in need of urban renewal. Since it seems all the decent hard working people have long since fled Detroit perhaps we should donate the city to the military for urban combat training and bombing practice. This would be a reverse of the trend where by the military is donating old forts, airbases and stations to the cities.

Don’t speak for this white dude and my mom has been dead for 20 years.

Maybe Lincoln was correct, he considered repatriation of the freed slaves. His concern was that they would never fit in with the culture of the United States. Then there are all those successful blacks I know, what causes the disparity? Maybe when a political agenda relies on keeping a people down by denying them opportunity through isolation in geographical squalor for the purpose of mining votes and spreading discontent, this is the result. Liberal Democrats have been plowing the fertile field of black discontent for their own purposes ever since reconstruction, so far ti has been working.

So that is 584.00 in cash per person and one out of 8.9 people arrested were armed. This does sound like the bust of the century. Each house only averaged 38000.00 in drugs. This sounds like somebody turned in their competition.

Birth control at Target $4 a month or $10 for 90 days. Same at Walmart Pharmacies

i agree, Give them a couple hundred to get sterilized, Not only will they be sterile but they may overdose as well.

$360000 in cash siezed. That’s about $4000/raid or about $584 for each person arrested. The chief estimates the value of the siezed drugs in the millions. All those narcotics cops will be buying new cars, boats and harleys’ and paying cash.

detroit is a drug dealers haven this is about ten percent of the trafficking
go to the corner stores and raid the arabs
http://ethicalfutures.wordpress.com/2011/08/13/teens-takes-merkaba-tweeks-fck-out/

The seem to stay out of places(at least not attack whites) where conceal carry is legal. Maybe thats the solution…

They left out the best part of the story. The number of thos arrested who were collecting some form of welfare payment from the government.

This is what “they” must do because libs and obamanomics killed Detroit’s economy. This is the NEW obamaville.

NO it is NOT!! Libertarian is: catch a coke dealer=bullet to the head, no public $ spent on judges, lawyers, juries, or jails. Having illegal drugs= summary execution, all cash seized is used to buy more ammo for the cops. THATS Libertarian!

can you please back up that claim with facts and sources.

You know the cops are now doing the drugs.

Maine and Vermont allow All felons to vote. Massachusetts and 13 other states reinstate voting rights to released felons. O’s DOJ Eric Holder is pushing hard for all felons to be allowed to vote.

I’m surprised Sharpton isn’t out complaining to whomever will listen that the white man is taking jobs away from his brethren. I mean, without all those drugs and guns, how’s a black man to make a living?

http://www.fedupintolerant.com

Also they should keep records of these people and the family members that live in the same households. Because they are gaming the system with welfare checks and food programs for the kids along with free medical care, and disability scams.They should be denied all of these programs.

Our troops growing poppies in Afghanistan?????? CiA shipping drugs to the US??? The “elite” profiting from the drug trade. All this nonsense, and not a single link to substantiate your absurd claims. This is old eighties stuff. Consider an upgrade before your “brain” oozes out your ears.

Ask why Planned Parenthood strategically places there abortion clinics in black neighborhoods? It’s the Liberals and Democrats doing this. Remember Dr. MLK, and Pres. Lincoln were Republicans

Let the felon get a job. That will solve a lot of problems. Many felons want to work but cant because the states hand out felonies like it’s candy. Maybet because “they” feel you should not own a gun.

Ya the usa would not do anything like protect poppy fields or ship guns to mexican cartels…wake up stupid shills! the war on drugs is lost those cops did not make a single dent in the war on drugs not evan a scratch all they did was make some money for there dept… FACT FACT FACT. That evil marijuna makes people violent and abusive just like alchohol………….hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah shills!

No, they sell the the coke to the pharmaceuticals so they can mind control you with Cymbolta and other strong mind drugs.

The comments do reflect very poorly on 2 1/2 years of the administration of a man who claimed to be a “uniter not a divider”.

When those most entrusted to uphold and enforce our laws are the same most guilty of violating them, this is the result. We have elected and appointed officials and police chiefs and officers selling out to special interest groups and refusing to enforce federal immigration laws.

The result is that currently it is estimated drug cartels exist in over 2,500 towns and cities across the U.S. We, the tax payers, are burdened with the trillions of dollars it costs each year for the services the corrupt politicians provide to the illegal aliens.

The dog and pony shows produced by DHS/ICE and the Detroit police serve to only further insult the intelligence of law-abiding Americans.

If you get busted for a major drug felony you should automatically be banned from recieving any welfare and food stamps for life.

I’m sure the Democrats would disagree with that one.

It sounds like someone forgot to send the local police commissioner his monthly pay off.

There offspring wont be able to reproduce. Remember they all waited in line for the Gov made H1N1 virus. HAHA

Libertarians believe in legalization….I think you are confused …your talking about the Chinese Commies

I thought Dee-troit was a “worker’s paradise”.

Where’d they get the guns? Don’t those people know it’s against the law to own a gun in Detroit?

No,The guns are needed in C but the cops will sell the drugs. How sad. Detroit worked so hard to build the drug trade to the level even the Detroit politicians would relish.

Wow, 10,442 grams of pot is 22.97 pounds…that means the pot is selling for $284/oz in order to bring $104,420. Dang is that what pot goes for these days? Jeez….

funny how the poor always have money for drugs.

The only reason prisons are “over crowded” is because the federal gov’t. established minimum space requirements.

Our men in submarines live in extremely close quarters, but the feds don’t cry about that. Liberals are such jerks.

Prisoners: Stack em high; stack ‘em deep. Feed them oatmeal for breakfast, soup for lunch and beans and rice for dinner.

No TV, no music, no books,no phones, no air conditioning, no early parole for good behavior. Behaving well in prison is no indication they will behave well in society.

I’m sick of the liberal world we’re living in.

Obama’s qualifications to be president are an even bigger hoax.

So, start your own business. You’ll love the gov’t regulations and taxes. You’ll also have a very clear idea why some people don’t get hired.

And BTW, our forefathers fought for our FREEDOMS, not so we could have a better way of life–that was up to us.

So out of 616 people the netted a little over a quarter pound each. a little over 8% had guns. It’s estimated that anywhere for 45 % to 90% of US citizens are gun owners. So the dealers here are apparently low risk of being gun carriers.

Not having sex with monkey, but eating their brains is how it was probably transmitted. Eating monkey brains is considered “good” in certain African nations.

You and I live in completely different worlds. I learned a long time ago not to engage in any sort of debates with conspiracy theory nut jobs. Please spare me any of more of your comments. And I am not a “good” officer in quotes.
I am a good and proud officer. The kind who would come to your aid even tho you are obviously a jerk off.

Jack, the link you left led to an article that is completley bogus. How do I know that? It states that America is cutting back on food stamps, when the complet opposite is true. Obama is sometimes called the “food stamp” president because they have been giving out record numbers of them. The article is bull!

What a waste of time. Legalize the drugs. Condemn all the politicians to death…

No, Libertarians don’t care if you do drugs as long as you don’t rob us to pay for your fix ‘cuz then we’d have to shoot your sorry self.

Meanwhile, the US government gave over 2000 guns, including 34 50 caliber sniper rifles- wait for it- to the Mexican drug cartel in their “Fast and Furious” program. One of which was used to kill a US border agent.
So it would appear they are working to keep their jobs rather than make actual progress, and also working to keep people enslaved to drugs. This feeds the govts ability to keep spending money on their programs, keeps them building jails that they can fill with those they have enabled. They keep the country at war with itself. What would end it all? Legalization.

Taking that much out of Detroit is about the same as someone taking a penny out of my private stash. I’m glad they’ve done it but the city is no safer than it was.

The suspension agent in the polio vaccine contained the HIV 3 VIRUS. Aids is man made

Don’t worry, obama supporters will find another cemetery to canvas for voters.

Things have changed since those times, some are up in “G”
Others they are wand’rers but they all feel just like me
They’d part with all they’ve got, could they once more walk
With their best girl and have a twirl on the sidewalks of Detroit.

So, high and mighty Joe, what does it mean if one of those “seedy rednecks” holds an advanced degree in molecular biology and can point your white guilt towards a paper published in 2000 called “Race, Evolution, and Behavior: A Life History Perspective”. So, before begin to accuse others of hiding behind their parent’s computer, take a breath and notice you are doing it as well.

“I think Crime Stoppers last month, they had a record number of tips come into Crime Stoppers, and we’ve tried to be very vigilant in putting information out.”

I’m willing to hope and think that these tips came from members of the communities affected. That FINALLY the tide is turning and those living in those communities realize the “code of silence” only hurts those that are following the law,and don’t want that criminal element around them.

There is a struggle in this country and race is not the qualifier to identify the “good people”. Lack of money or an abundance of it isn’t either. It is those that are DONE with the crazy and are now willing to step forward to help to eliminate that sector of our society that threatens us all.

This is a good. I hope it continues.

Feral thug youth everywhere.

This is picture of a subclass ie the American underclass, black, uneducated, no marketable skills, no work history, single parent home, no religon, material, for the moment, related to the world via their body, no soul, no morals, in and out of jails, long rapp sheets, ruled by animal instincts…

When President Johnson and the 1960s SpendoCrats enacted their “Great Society”, the government became the surrogate father for every illegitimate child. No need for birth control if every pregnancy means more money from the Man.

We should use ‘Stimulus’ money to build a ‘Great Wall’ around Detroit. Then, they could be left to their own devices, as in “Escape from New York”.

Leave it all alone. Legalize it, empty the jails, clear the court dockets, cut out police overtime, eliminate the associated violence, tax the trade and save a 10-50 Billion dollars a day nationwide.
Nah, don’t want to do that. We got a good thing going here, we got the people terrified of the dealers and us! And terrified people are easy to direct and rule.

I think a moat should be constructed around Detroit, air them drugs, ammo so they can kill eachother, party, murder, breed, a human zoo…

1st of month, welfare checks came in

It is not an example of the failure of Democracy, it is just another day in booger-town.

STUPID N I G G E R S WILL NEVER LEARN. You get no respect because you show no respect. Let Detroit burn….all of it

I am all for freedom, responsibility and letting nature take its course. Society would reset and get back to normal if the government would just stay out of the way. Legalize it all. Drugs would get so cheap that gas would be better contraband. How many people absolutely depend on drugs remaining illegal for a large part of their income? Quickest way in the world for us to take back control of our CIA is to cut the funding. That funding is drugs. How did it get this bad? Our government is no longer occupied by patriots. Their interests are not ours but those of a foreign power. Our democracy is being taken apart one trillion dollars at a time. You have always heard the expression, “follow the money.” Well when you follow the money in America it is all going in one direction. I’ll give you a clue. Netanyahu got 29 standing ovations when he spoke before a joint session of Congress. You would a thought he was the Pope or something. How do we take our government back from the usurpers and sycophants?

The appearance of law must be maintained while it is being broken.

get rid of the african americans and crime will diappear…

Today unfortunately illegal drugs are the largest industry and employer in Detroit.

Now let us see how much plea bargaining, probation and parole these guys get….they will be back on the street in days if not hours.

note from ovomit to piclosi…..i am disgusted, thoroughly disgusted with the latest uproar in detroit…looted store owners want government to pitch in with funds to repair and replace stolen items…

not only did i tell them no, i will up their taxes and will force them to double – no triple – their insurance premiums for their nerve in asking….

and it was the cops who distrubed the peace….sure my brothers trashed detroit to the tune of $2 billion but did my brothers ever try to arrest a cop?????…..i will personally oversee the demotion of half the police force and the dismissal of the other half.

I got a better idea. Instead of putting them in prison which costs a lot of money, lets take them under our wing in another way. If they have a crack habit for example, take them a wheel barrow full of crack and tell them to call you when they run out. I am sure railroad cars full could be manufactured for very little cost. Pretty soon the crack market would be satiated, prices would go to almost nothing and society would reset itself. The crack heads and other unfortunate souls would say adios to this world and you and I can now afford college for our kids. Keeping drugs illegal is organized crime. The small amount of good that comes from the war on drugs is nothing in comparison to the harm it causes.

Who are these people that are dealing in drugs, guns and the pooolice arresting 600+.who can they be? I’ll tell you, they are black kids, but that is not the point. This is a generation of kids who’s parents are Jessie High Jackson, Al Sharpton, liberal/progressive thinking, welfare fare recipients, unwed mothers and no fathers, Obama and the stinking Democratic party that says they are looking out for minorities. I don’t want your stinking welfare, leave me alone, let me work out my own financial problems, just give me a chance. I’ll never get a chance being from Detroit. Mr. President, get the F out of my life, my pocket book, I don’t need your stinking money, give me a mother and father that are at home, give me siblings from the same father, get me out of government housing, leave me the F alone.

I know they are most likely citizens. Could we deport them to one of the nanny states anyway?

Especially around the first of each month when the welfare checks arrive.

It sure seems like they manage to find a whole lot of drugs and not a whole lot of cash. Makes me wonder how much of the cash was pocketed by the cops. It is Detroit after all.

To bad Detroit can not afford to put the criminals into a prison after all that work…

540g of cocaine with a street value of 204,300? That’s almost $400.00 a gram. I call BS or the real crime here is the outlandish prices dealers are charging for some blow. Time to “open the market up”…..

(how do they7 afford them??) i want to see all 50 states enact a law like we did here in Missouri. all people on state support of any type will be subject to a random urinalysis test at any time. guess what happens if they are found to have illegal drugs in the system?? that will put an impact on anyone on state support.

What a waste of personnel and money neither of which Detroit has any to spare. When are we going to learn that the “War on Drugs” is one of the most damaging and unsuccessful efforts our society has ever made?

We fill up our prisons at great expense. We corrupt our law enforcement agencies. We create ruthless gangs of heavily armed drug sellers. We essentially destroy the country of Mexico. We ruin the lives of countless thousands simply for wishing to exercise their free will however misguided that choice may be.

Don’t you care that those drugs destroy people’s lives?

Wasn’t that Bush that said that?

My excuse is concealed carry is a right, not a privledge.

Don’t you care that those drugs destroy people’s lives?

Wall street and bankers have destroyed more lives than drugs ever could.

You want to also start drug testing any person who takes deductions on their taxes? Deductions are just welfare in another name. How about the employees of all the banks that were bailed out? Hell lets just start drug testing all people are paid with taxpayer money.

Strangely there’s no mention of the dollar cost of this law enforcement involved…
US runs guns to the Zeta’s and imports tons of drugs, while the proceeds are laundered by US mega bankaters. The CIA oversees the cocaine, and marijuana
trade worldwide, while US troops grow the opium in Afghanistan.What a racket.The shadow banking system rakes in hundreds of billions; Then the private bank-owned prisons get more profit as people are incarcerated and young liives are destroyed.
Get all the details at infowars.com
LEGALIZE ALL DRUGS, stop the drug war, an illegitimate government operation..

We’ll that’s the end of what’s left of the Detroit economy.

How many are muzzies I wonder

Get up! Everybody’s gonna move their feet (running from cops).
Get down! Everybody’s gonna leave their seat (avoiding bullets).
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit, Thug City.

LOL you are funny Joe! Everyone knows blacks don’t start anything one-on-one. Unless the savage is 6’5” and whitey is 5’3” of course. Otherwise it is ALWAYS a gang of black thugs against one whitey, maybe two if one of the whiteys is a girl. You know all that, Joe!

The cost will only be $50 million a year to keep them in jail, instead of taxing drugs ljust like alcohol and turning it into a positive revenue situation, the prison industrial complex would rather profit from taking away the freedom of individuals.

How well did prohibition work? Weren’t there gangs and violence involved until they ended prohibition.

Based on breakthrough historical research and four years of on-the-ground reporting in disaster zones, The Shock Doctrine vividly shows how disaster capitalism – the rapid-fire corporate reengineering of societies still reeling from shock – did not begin with September 11, 2001. The book traces its origins back fifty years, to the University of Chicago under Milton Friedman, which produced many of the leading neo-conservative and neo-liberal thinkers whose influence is still profound in Washington today. New, surprising connections are drawn between economic policy, “shock and awe” warfare and covert CIA-funded experiments in electroshock and sensory deprivation in the 1950s, research that helped write the torture manuals used today in Guantanamo Bay.

Coke sells from 60 to 80 dollars a gram in New Orleans.

Margaret Sanger was a useless parasite who produced nothing but hate.

Evil spreads when good people do nothing. We are either a country of laws or a country of lawless.

Excellent. Get the druggies and losers off the street. Air these arrests all over the place and stop the glamorization of drugs and that kind of life.

This is far better than arresting 15 year old Johnny for downloading a Disney movie illegally.

Evil spreads when good people do nothing. We are either a country of laws or a country of lawless.

Maybe reffering to corporate/government fascists who work together to ensure profits for the corporations and fear of the government for the citizens.

Mussolini must be having a wet dream right about now.

That’s hard to do when you have a president that wants to collect your money (raise taxes) and give it to these hoods (Collectivism). Look at how he wants to release these people from prison, too.

That would be too easy, and then the prescription drug cartel would have some real competition from marijuana as a pain killer with no side effects.

It is too bad the GOP traded their souls to the corporations and so did the DEMS for election campaign donations.

No average person can ever get into politics as long as the corporate elites are allowed to buy candidates.

Its probably pre-cut.

The Goldman Sachs bonus recipients would say lawless land, they got away with trillions of your tax money, and you all blame it on the poor.

Watching the decline of America will make a great story for my grandchildren. Perhaps they can learn from history unlike a majority of people today.

The parrallels to the late 20′s and dirty thirties, including government repsonse and corporate greed are obvious to anybody who dares to look.

Aids was spread because it’s hard to get many Africans to have protected sex because of ignorance, religion or birth control isn’t readily available. In many countries, people are nomads so there isn’t a jungle drug store close by. That’s how

Kip Noxzema FOX news for imbeciles afficionado.

I notice you don’t mention the wallstreet crooks who stole trillions.

It is too bad you do not understand the meaning of liberty and freedom since you would spend a whole lot of money to take away other peoples liberty, as opposed to legalizing and taxing drugs just like alcohol.

Did you ever hear of prohibition and the exact same problems it caused, I don’t see beer gangs shooting it out anymore.

Ignorance is the favorite tool of the exploiters.

Right around $50 million a year to jail 616 people at $75 to 80 thousand a year per prisoner.

Prohibition was a big problem and caused many deaths until it became legal and a revenue source instead of a cost.

You first…

Good for you citizens of Detroit! In the last 3-4 years I have pretty much given up on the city that I went to high school in the 1960′s. Next weekend I will revist Nancy Whiskey’s and buy the bar a round! Then the week after I will repeat the visit as I have new hope amongst the locals! God Bless All of You!

I’m pretty high but isn’t 10,422 garms about 23 pounds plus a bit? That was smoked on campus last week. Making 24 pounds sound like a big deal is pretty funny. OH MY GOD THEY HAD TEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED GRAMS! so much more dramatic than a bit more than 23 pounds. lol

Your joking right? Psych facilities? Sure have some thug who just held up someone with a gun sit down and talk out his issues with a shrink!! That will help! Stick the freaken animals behind bars and throw away the freaken keys. Or even make the thug work on a chain gang for ten years. Punishment is what you get for breaking the law.

Now go sit in your timeout chair for such a stupid reply!! geeesssshhh

Whatever happened to Chief Hart? Is he out of prison yet for using the drug seizure money fund as a personal piggy bank?

If Coleman Young was still alive, he would be pointing out it is people from the suburbs who travel into the city to buy the drugs

It’s not illegal to drink and drive. It’s illegal to drive after you’ve consumed enough alcohol to be impaired in your ability to drive.

@Larry Touche´

After the Taliban took control in Afghanistan, they came close to wiping out the poppy fields… from the NY Times in June 2001:

“The chairman of the Central Asia Institute at Johns Hopkins, Frederick Starr, said the West, especially Europe, had been inexplicably slow in recognizing developments in Afghanistan. ”The reduction [in opium production] is probably the most dramatic event in the history of illegal drug markets, not only in scale, but also in the fact that it was done domestically, without international assistance,” he said. “

Perhaps the Federal Government and Detroit could work out a program where immigrants from China and Japan could get a green card if they buy a house in Detroit. A few thousand Japanese cleaning up the streets in front of their house and cooperating with police (or kicking people’s ass if the police won’t) could make a huge difference.

Wrong. Driving while intoxicated and driving under the influence. One you have to be over the limit and the other you don’t have to be over the limit. They can even charge you for being under the influence of legal medicine.

600 people?-isn’t that the entire population of Detroit now?

There math is so inflated its laughable. A pound is about 453.6g. So that’s roughly $171680 per lb if 540g of cocaine is worth 204,300. Glad to see that simple math isn’t very popular at Detroit PD. There was not one single part of their math that couldn’t be ridiculed. Yet the media doesn’t second guess any of it.

While drugs do destroy people’s lives, you’re only reading one side of the equation. The other side shows a street war because of their illegal status. Nobody is getting shot over cigarettes (not yet anyway, until they become illegal).

On August 9th, Detroit narcotics officers raided a home located on the city’s east side, where they confiscated 927 grams of heroin with an approximate street value of $1,668,600. Officers arrested seven suspects at the location.
THAT’S 1800 DOLLARS PER GRAM.
no wonder the police have a drug problem,if they’re selling at that price.
they should get with the normal street price,and then they will be able to corner the market.
do they really think they’re gonna unload that smack on the street at that price?

Just like the white meth parasites right? another trash talker blowing it out his a**.

The only brainwashed idiot here is you. I bet you consider yourself a true American. Really, you’re just a pawn of the government you like to praise when it suits you.

A narcotics conspiracy consisting of 600 people and none of them are cops. Kind of hard to believe.

Jaycee has been completely fooled by the lie. He thinks that a tax deduction is equivalent to welfare. He does not understand that the money a person makes belongs to that person, not to the govt. If anything when I pay taxes, I am paying welfare to the govt. I assume that Jaycee has never paid taxes or he/she/it would know this basic fact.

My wife thought this was hilarious… 90 homes and this much was turned in? Who called crime stoppers… the cops? Why? so they could then bust the place for not cutting the cops in on their little endeavor?

I also laughed at the numbers… $1000 a gram? Maybe the african american’s were using that DISD education they got and were running a promotional sale… buy a gram of heroin and get a gram of pot free… with coupon.

The point is to STOP the EVIL, racist, counterproductive, nation-destroying (see Mexico), greed-driven War on Drugs/Drug Prohibition so that there is no one who even wants to sell drugs, since they would be regulated and be subjected to supply and demand capitalism that would drive prices way down. Also, it would generate MILLIONS of jobs in the hemp, cannabis and other industries related to the sale, distribution, production, taxing and consumption of these illicit substances once they become legal. Ending the War on Drugs/Drug Prohibition=MORE JOBS, LESS CRIME, MORE TRANQUILITY (abusers don’t need to kill you for the expensive street drugs because of Drug Prohibition) LESS RACISM and LESS TREES BEING CUT DOWN. Thanks for listening, 777denny

I thought these hoods had Etic Holder and the inJustice Department on retainer? I suppose now Holder wont get his cut of the profits.

The good news is, the money confiscated will go to offset the city deficit, the guns can be used to support Operation Gun Runner and the drugs can be resold to replenish the CIAs black budget…It’s win-win-win.

Lincoln despised black people, never wanted them to vote or intermarry with whites, and thought they were too stupid to ever integrate into American society…he tried to find some place to deport them all to, but could not get it arranged before he was killed.

he was very bright.

Black women have big butts and are stanky.
Black boys are ALL butt and are stanky too.
Both have stupid hair.
How’s that for “redneck”?

Food stamps and welfare will be cut in the future, just do the math..(unless you’re a democrat, then get a hoodie). Will be a different result in USA when homie leaves the burned out inner city in search for food (flat screen TV) in my neighborhood. I didn’t invest in baseball bats….

Prisons should be eliminated. Violent offenders dropped in to an offshore arctic island for ever with sharks as guards, and non violent criminals should work off their debt to society, maybe employed by the IRS?

Yeah, its YOUR money….hahaha

State? I carry per the second amendment…..

Very sad, indeed. Nobody screaming for law and order, and MOST of the crime is black on black. Dumb ass animals….

Its called eugenics, and needs to be put back into use on many blacks as well as whites…

what will the city counselmen do now that their homes and retirement money have been seized . . . once again a failure in leadership

marg1 is correct, we need to throw out the trash…..

legalize it, exactly. give the dopers every opportunity they need to od.

and making little baby monkeys every day……..

There are bad characters in all segments of society, to believe the only bad characters are on Wallstreet or in a bank you would have to be a Kool Aid drinking moron.

48 states allow it. We need it. Every law abiding American has a duty to carry a gun. Crime will fall like a stone and so will the population of blacks and mexicans

Yep … That’s the Detroit we escaped from pre-1967 riots. It’s a burned-out, bombed-out hell hole.
Re: The inflated prices cops always place on their bust(s) – the cocaine was probably going to be made into “crack”, thus enhancing its value exponentially. However, since when does pot sell for $10.00 per gram? Even the allegedly legal “dispensaries” sell quality product at less than half that.

As for the firearms displayed, I see nothing illegal, except maybe an Ingram Mac-10. Those babies are great for drive-by shootings!
(sigh)

~(Ä)~

Along with killing white farmers.

Only if 0′bammy is in charge…..he needs the money for his future LOSING campaign.

Even at $28 birth control is cheaper for everyone than a child. A comment like “I can’t afford $28 a month for birth control” illustrates that having child after child is a welfare ploy. Planned Parenthood and other agencies give bc free or very reduced cost, so it’s bogus for anyone to claim that they can’t ‘afford’ contraception. They just love living on the gubmit dole; it’s hereditary.

Why are Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinics Strategically Placed in Black Neighborhoods?

JIM:

You obviously did not check out the link in that paragraph at http://www.thecomingdepression.net/countries/europe/4-real-reasons-for-londons-riots/ shows PROOF that the US govt is cutting back food stamps NOW.

30,000 people in Michigan alone were cut from the rolls.

Time to wake up JIM.

Now get rid of all the criminal labour unions and maybe Detroit will be a great city again.

90 down, 9,910 homes known to police to be selling drugs to go in Detroit.

and that was all on the first block!

Where does it says this? I see “…where they discovered 90 marijuana plants (20,430 grams) with an estimated street value of $204,300…” Or $10/gram

drug dealas only be undocamented farmasists.. Dey aint hurtin nobody.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see these same drugs back out on the street, eh?

“Detroit narcotics officers raided a home … where they confiscated two grams of marijuana with an approximate street value of $20 and $232,585 in cash, two handguns and two long guns.”

One suspects it wasn’t drugs they were after.

Resume testing nuclear weapons, and use Detroit for a target.

Good citizens do not allow bad citizens to destroy their neighborhood! In England the people of the neighborhood rose up to stop the riots, why doesn’t this happen in the large cities of America? Perhaps because of the “victim” mentality taught in their neighborhoods by “community organizers”.

Jobs are not a right. A job is performed because work needs to be done. Again, there are no rights in this. You either get the job, can do the job or you can’t.
A company can do business anywhere they want because it saves them money. What has destroyed our competitive edge is the unions. The unions demand so much that it makes it hard to do business in America.

What got our cities into this mess is called PROHIBITION.

If you’re so afraid of the government that you have to ask permission to defend yourself, then you should just stay home, under the porch.

The best way to get rid of the scourge of drugs is to let the people do as much as they want until they quickly die and the way to that is to legalize it so the dealers are put out of business and then when the hard drugs get so cheap they can be bought by the pound easily most addicts will quickly die off.

I can’t wait to see God’s punishment on racists.

You can see for yourself how much of an affect telling the truth to a bunch of angry bigots is going to have.

if there was any they’d plaster the race all over the place to make minorities feel better.

I hear one of those arrested was half white.

Economically, legalizing drugs make sense (nice to see leftists understanding, for once, the way economics actually work), but what about the human cost? I know several people whose lives have been destroyed by drugs. First marijuana and then much stronger stuff. One of these woke up at 40, realized what he’d done to himself, and did his best to put his life back in order. He’s “ok” now, but bitterly regrets the drugs that ruined his health and put him off the track of a constructive and happy life. He feels he will always be 20 years behind the people he started out with.

While drugs do destroy people’s lives, you’re only reading one side of the equation. The other side shows a street war because of their illegal status. Nobody is getting shot over cigarettes (not yet anyway, until they become illegal).

Well Larry- I’d agree if people would simply do their drugs in a corner somewhere, without having to steal or kill to pay for them and die quietly without much fanfare–if that’s the freedom they want, I’d be all for it.

Only 550?

And sentencing of these hard core criminals are going to begin when?

Do you have any idea how this effect employment numbers in Detroit? Should we be putting people out of work in this economy?

Welcome to Obamaland!

Obama Lite. Blame anyone except the one responsible. Typical liberal elitist response.

The entire city of Detroit should be arrested. The First US Marine division should invade Detroit and disarm it. How can Americans in other states get firearms like these from the government?

Detroit is a US Model City for what is coming soon. Detroit was actually a city the German Air Force bombed during WWII and was never rebuild. Until now that was one of our best kept secrets.

It’s ignorant racist people in Michigan & America who are responsible for destroying Humanity. Especially cowards like AlligatorBill who hide behind the internet to express their bigoted opinions

[...] 90 homes raided, 600 arrested in Detroit… [...]

A wonderful, glorious, gigantic waste of time and $$$. BTW, please remind me why the brain chemistry disorder of addiction is illegal.

Isn’t he runnning for mayor?

I keep reading in the comments that ‘drugs ruin peoples lives’, but that is not the case. People ruin their own lives using drugs as a tool. While I feel for those who are hooked on them, I also realize that at one point they made a choice to try them; if they were not aware that heroine or cocaine were addictive, they have not been to school, read a book or watched TV, EVER.

Now marijuana is totally different and should not be considered a drug. This is a plant that was used by our own founders to treat headaches, cramps and other ailments successfully for a very long time without any side effects. Who could say the same of alcohol or cigarettes? Legalize marijuana already!!

Of course, but no way. Hundreds of Billions of $$$$ are redistributed to a variety of public employee union members: DEA, local police and sheriffs, parole officers, prison guards….No way this is ever gonna change, especially with the DEMS in power….the only chance for change is from a coalition of libertarians and small gov TeaParty types (who are in no way related to the social conservative wing of the Party). Or the States aren’t bailed out by Obama and the States have to get real about the huge budget cuts they need to get financially healthy.

Boy is this country f!!k up !!!

The repubs did such a good job of changing the drug laws so stop blaming this party or that party. Both parties have done nothing to turn the tide of the 25+ billion dollar($500 million per state) war on drugs and the war on drugs budget almost doubles every few years. The war on drugs has a bigger budget than NASA. Almost twice as high now that the shuttle is no longer in the loop.
