Pot Farms and School threats

We’ve gotten a tip from a CI about a farm. Seems our good ole boy farmer counts pot as one of his cash crops. I don’t know that I believe he’s got it out in the open so we have to send up a bird to check it out for us. We can’t just raid the farm without probably cause. So we’ll wait on surveillance photos before we go grab a warrant.

While we wait we’ve got another case to bust. Apparently our rat deals from his house…almost across the street from a school. These bastards deal to these kids, giving them “candy” and once they’re hooked they do whatever they have to in order to get another score. Dealing that close to kids is a tougher sentence. Those asses don’t get the offer to flip. Anyone who poisons children doesn’t deserve a chance.

Un-freakin’-beleivable! Just found out he has three kids of his own living in that house! I don’t get it. I just don’t get it! How can you expose your kids to shit like this? The guns you know he has to keep to protect his house from not only police but from some junkie looking to score or from some rival looking to invade. Not to mention the drugs that are easily accessible, the addicts who come in for fix and a place to enjoy it.

Kids make it harder to do our job. You always have the thought in the back of your mind: will he use his own children as a shield to hide behind? Obviously, they have little concern for life and they sure can’t love those kids. Not if they’re letting them like that way.

Also busting in like we do is enough to terrify and traumatize a kid. We look like the bad guys because we’re taking away their mom or dad. Some people just shouldn’t have kids. After today there will be three who will be moved into protective custody. No matter the fact protective custody is in the best interest of the child, its not a good thing. Turning their world upside down the way it does.

Time to go shut him down!
