Cops swarm Sterling Place between Bedford and Franklin!!! There are like 30 cops walking in and out of 709 Sterling place RIGHT NOW.... According to one cop, it was a drug raid.

?? just looked out my window. must be gone already
-
bummer. i wonder how much the cops are selling those drugs for, and where i might purchase them.

Brooklyn drug war. Round 3,333,333,335 Until we address demand, there will always be supply.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

I don't mind either the demand or the supply. My mere wish is that the business practices of both buyers and sellers were better; i.e. address conflict resolution skills, sell and buy your goods less conspicuously, pull your goddamn pants up ABOVE your ass, and stop killing the competition.

Involve Better Business Bureau. ....also get FDA and Dept of Consumer Affairs on board to assure customers get a quality productFor better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

MHA » pull your goddamn pants up ABOVE your ass, and stop killing the competition.
Well in Memphis they've come up with as way to teach kid how to pull up their pants AND respect their elders Man shoots teen in ass after refusal to pull up pants -
Ah, but Memphis makes this list of the 25 Most Dangerous neighborhoods in the US. .....no neighborhood in NYC does. http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2010/10/04/25-most-dangerous-neighborhoods-2010/ I do like the idea of somehow enforcing a code of conduct among both buyers and sellers engaged in criminal activity. It is pure fantasy of course, but drug dealers could interview potential employees to ensure that their dress code was adequate. HR could define jeans "that are so baggy they fall off when the police come" as being unacceptable work attire simply on the basis of work place safety. ....I'd also implement that gun safety training I mentioned a while back, to ensure that only the competition be eliminated during the regular battles. I'd then create a series like one "Food Truck Race" on Food Network ....I'd bring competing drug dealers to a new neighborhood, and then award a pize to the dealers who sold the most product in the time allotted and had the most satisfied customers. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=food+truck+race+food+network&aq=f&aqi=g-c1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= It would be excellent.For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

WhyNot31 if the poor drug dealers were forced by the department of consumer affairs to get licenses it would take all the profit out of their business between the license fees and the fact that they charge to take your fingerprints and run them.... i mean the police do that for free!!!! Trust me I hold a couple of the DCA licenses ( aka the NYC organized crime orginization)

I'm getting frustrated with this whole drug war thing, and being that legalization is no where on the horizon, I say we fight insanity with insanity even harder! Yes, making them endure the court system and the police system has had seemingly little effect. Let's up the ante! Yes, lets force them to interact with the Department of Consumer Affairs, and have the Human Resources Department create up a 200 page manual that defines appropriate attire and behavior workplace conduct. Call me inhumane if you want. Hey, isn't killing the opposition already gounds for immediate termination?For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

Are there any links to the drug raid. It was at one time my grandfather's old building and would interested to read about it. Thanks Bob

BerkelyBob, what drug raid? Unfortunately, these types of activities tend to be so common that they don't make 'the news'. Passing by a day or so after the event, I saw huge piles of garbage consisting of bagged clothes, and furniture. My guess is that the guys who were taken out won't be back . A commenting neighbor said that there has definitely been a drastic reduction in illicit traffic to and from the building. I don't know if that means it is at an end, or just reduced to a bare, indiscernible trickle. Time will tell.

I sent an email to my brother about the police action at 709. This is his response "Guess nothing has changed with the neighborhood. Still drug infested. If you remember in 1960 grandpa was beat up & robbed by junkies & they came back a 2nd time beat him so bad he had a stroke & died shortly after. The junkies were found guilty of murder I believe but am not sure if they got the electric chair as the chair was not abolished yet.as far as I am concerned this is what caused mom to have all her problems. Depression etc and grandma was never the same after this". Glad to hear their has been a reduction in illegal activities. Good luck to everyone. Bob

Uh, don't know about a reduction... Time will tell.

http://www.berkeleyside.com/2010/10/26/another-murder-in-berkeley/ Here's a link to show you guys what it's like here in Berkeley. This happened around the block where I live, a two minute walk. This happened last week. When I was driving home from taking my son to school, 3 police cars zipped past me and the street was blocked off.

Wow, BB... That's crazy.
