Acting Prosecutor Dennis Calo states that the charges are merely accusations and that the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and would like to thank the Hackensack, Garfield, and Lodi Police Departments, the New Jersey State Police HAZMAT, the DEA’s New York Drug Enforcement Task Force, Group T22, Homeland Security Investigations (Newark and JFK), the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, and the Bergen County Regional SWAT for their assistance in this investigation. The DEA’s New York Drug Enforcement Task Force comprises agents, officers and investigators of the DEA, NYSP, and New York City Police Department.
Did they use their MRAPs and drones from the DOE? Maybe tanks? No doubt the PBA is already editing video of the arrests to use as a “dog whistle” to push for more cops and more of a police state. Watch for dog whistle catch words like “sanctuary state”, “ Garfield”, “Paterson”, and “bad hombres”. There won’t be any mention of course of how the opioid epidemic has exploded right under their noses despite expanded police numbers. Instead of doing “extra duty work” fir the utilities which can be done by auxiliary police, just do your job protecting the peace, arresting criminals, and walking and patrolling our neighborhoods. The call for more cops in Ridgewood is crazy when Valley is leaving and our cops couldn’t even stop the daily removal of bags of quarters from right under their noses over a period of years totaling $850,000 or more.
Wow dhs involved in drug raids smell like terroism
Sanctary state
Dog whistle
One more for road, hasn’t the opioid epidemic exploded over the past 20 years right under the nose of you & your colleagues?
We need more heroines in this world.
A heroine mill is a melodrama repertory company.
Three cheers for diversity
When is Cory booker going to demand that we call them “unlicensed pharmacists”?
