Police Do Job
Hats off to Col. Dean Esserman and the Providence Police Department for taking six guns off the streets and a number of "bad guys".
Today's Journal reported on the brass's press conference yesterday, projo.com.
It just goes to show what our Police Department can do when they make up their minds to do something.
Why haven't they made up their minds to shut down the Open-air Drug Market in the East Side's Mt. Hope neighborhood.
Have you noticed the crazy drug selling on Camp and on Pleasant during the police's shift-change, between 2 and 4 pm, on a daily basis depending upon the availability of drugs. It takes place in broad daylight!
It seems the drug dealers can out-smart the police simply by knowing when the shift-change occurs and Mt. Hope is for all practical purposes virtually empty of police officers.
I can't wait for the press conference when Col. Esserman announces, "We have shut down the Open-air Drug Market in Mt. Hope!"
I hope we don't have to wait too long.
