This town has so many drug dealers its disgusting, what's one more getting away for one more day. Heck they were within a block of one and they have had calls on the person and haven't done anything about it yet. I get the situation they were in and I understand its a tough call on the cops part and I have a lot of respect for the cops. Just gave my opinion, which we are all entiled to. Though honestly I'm sure you'd feel different if it were your kids playing in those streets.
