It may be that they are back on the streets, but I am glad they were taken off for a short time. As a home health nurse that HAS BEEN on that street, been followed, stopped and then followed up on the highway by some of these thugs, I am glad. I WILL NOT go to that area without a patient watching me come and go-it is worse even than Alabama Village. The good people that live on that road are afraid for their safety. Perhaps there will be increased patrols on that street and a few others in that area. I would have never thought that area was really bad, until I had that situation happen to me.

What a waste of time and taxpayer money. You are doing nothing to stop drugs or drug dealers from working. Trust me, I was in LE for years, this accomplishes nothing but a few citizen complaints, the dealers will be back in force in two weeks tops. These kinds of raids has to stop and the drug war has been lost for years.
