Oakland Drug Bust

The investigation of drug dealing has been going on since April, and the execution of 101 felony warrants were finally given out on Monday. This was all a part of a Police Chief by the name of Anthony Batts who wanted to clear the streets of drugs, guns, and gangs. Police were having to go undercover and pretend that they wanted to buy some drugs in order to catch the guys. I think the people who live in Oakland and doing these kinds of stupid things are making the town of Oakland look like such a bad place. I personally don't mind Oakland, but the most common phrase a person hears, like me, is "I don't wanna go to Oakland, I'm afraid that I'm gonna get shot!" It is kind of sad to hear that because within Oakland, there are also all the nice and innocent people who happen to live there. And regarding the police, it took a while for them to catch all of these men, which sucks but at the same time, if the drugs weren't illegal, there wouldn't be much of a problem, but that's a whole other story.
