No idea, I stay the fuck out of their business and want nothing to do with gangs.
One time I was at my old dealer's house, chilling out and hitting his dab rig. He had security cameras up all around his property, and on one of the feeds I see a cop, in full uniform, walk up to the front door and ring the bell. Mind you, I'm at about a 11 out of 10 high at that point.
So naturally I start freaking the hell out, and I'm like "Dude, I think we're fucked". And my dealer's like "Nah, don't worry about it, just be cool", opens the door, fist bumps the cop, and then proceeds to sell him a whole pound of weed right in front of me.
After he leaves, I ask "What the fuck was that?" and he goes "my best customer for the last 5 years, sometimes his whole squad comes up to buy." So I dunno if Austin PD is running drugs on their own, or if that cop just gets completely zooted on the job every day, but there's that.
The local donut shop is cash-only. You do the math.
Meth*
They did the monster meth?
It's a graveyard smeth!
And they keep all their powdered sugar in these little baggies.
This is simply an isolated incident that keeps happening over and over again.
My Mom used to date a KC firefighter that got caught in the park with hookers and blow....I wish I could make this stuff up. My husband thinks it's hilarious ๐
Anyone willing to run into my burning house to save me or my stuff should be paid in hookers, blow, and whatever else keeps them on the job.
Well, when you put it like that...
Well, he wasn't a hookers and blow fighter, now was he
When I was in highschool the D.A.R.E. officer was the dealer.
My local police are famously literal actually gangsters, so probably
I'll let you in on a little secret: they all are
yes, this is completely true.
ALL police department are secretly drug dealers!
I was more alluding to them all essentially being violent gangs.
Some are openly dealers
Mine are Nortenos. What are yours?
Did you have a stroke
"trust me, bro"
As far as im aware my local PD's dont directly sell drugs. But the sheriff owns and rents out drug houses. he charges extremely high rent and let them cook meth, and doesnt bust them(until he's up for reelection) all while arresting their competition.
I'd be shocked if they all aren't.
In the little town where I went to college, the cops were specifically in the cocaine business. Not pot or psychedelics; townies came on campus to get those. Not heroin; that was the sketchy dude who hung out by the record store. Not meth; that was the sketchier dude who hung out by the middle school basketball court at night. But for coke? You gotta know a cop.
Small city in TN here. They do their deals in the Waffle House parking lot, and protect their suppliers from the competition.
When I was in high school, we had an officer assigned to the school. He was a racist dealer from what I gathered. He's bust the Hispanic kids and then sell to the white kids. He also crashed the new mustang police car trying to show it off, almost hitting students. Was pretty obvious he was dirty when he one day had a really nice sports car. He now owns a coffee shop, which I've never visited. I assume it's just a money laundering front.
Can you elaborate on them running drugs?
What makes you think they are?

And it's not just a US problem. Oganised crime often infiltrates or corrupts police forces, even in developed countries where the police are paid relatively well and trained properly unlike in the US.
Got any Colorado ones?
If anyone says "not mine!" they just aren't paying attention.
Do you have any proof you would like to present? Such documentation would be pretty useful
Pretty well known in Fairbanks, AK that the PD and Troopers are involved in drugs.
Idk, let me go ask a cop for drugs.
Bad news guys, cops don't have a sense of humor
Where the fuck you do people live? Ya'll watch too much tv. Life isn't that exciting for the VAST majority of people or towns lol.
