Wait so strangers just walk up to another strangers house hoping to buy crack?
Is seems like entrapment. Do after the dealers not the users.
That's wrong true wrong cops is de dealer how smart ha ha ha
No video
@4:20, I didn't do nothin,🤣🤣🤣🤣, that line is very common in the Hoods.
Hey Sgt. 🫦💋💋💋
I hate when the cops say, what you scared of you?! …….
You, Precisely. I’m scared of running into you. I’m so happy weed is becoming legal. Cuz most of these arrest was petty as hell.
This video just made me belief 1000 % without a doubt that in America, you’ll always be guilty until proven innocent, or black (not white), or until proven innocent
2003 I was a 3 year old
4:06 Why so violent ?
How aren't you suspicious of a new "crack house" that just suddenly appeared in your neighborhood and started selling out the window with the police busting everyone walking away in broad daylight?
Sitting there baiting people worry about the big fish leave the minnows at the bottom alone
Man that cop didn't have to run him like that that man was standing fucking still
This is the american way.. Dont help people when they are down, kick them and send them to jail over nothing.. Its a big joke that these cops act like they want to help them.. Sending them to jail or giving them fines they cant afford, will only force them into more crime and drugs
If he can’t catch u he take over ur spot an slow the money down smh
Valatino been round a long time I remember them days if u never ran into him u wasn’t in the streets fr we took that man up an threw there lol
This is a waiste of tax dollars! Petty buyers? 20 cops wth
Wack ass policing
How can they charge them with something that’s fake 🤔
In most states now drugs are legal , this getting arrested for 10 dollars
America for you! Let's lock up the addicts and get them charges so if they ever do kick the habit they can't get a job. What one good thing does this do? No addict is quitting because they went to jail. There's a bigger motive though. I see it but some of you may not.
Busting a dealer would be better then busting a user but 🤷
You would think they were big time criminals lol … see that’s y I love my city sometimes we dnt have to worry bout this type shxt
Reverse stings are easiest case to beat. Probably could pull of with a public advocate
I know that was a good idea, 1 thing is how can you guys come up with a nother a different idea about the killing that's going on right now.
This is terrible
Cops shouldn't allow to use the phrase,
"The truth will set you free"
The truth gonna get you 20 years.
That Sargent is hot!
I back the blue always 💙
Are usually support the police 100% no matter what they don’t need a slam these people on the ground and hurt them because they’re addicted to drugs they’re not being violent
Love the stings
I don't believe in this type of reverse BS. These cops don't have nothing to do?
Thank God she wasnt able to smoke those 2 sacks of weed, I feel so much safer now.
Waste of time arresting these petty users waste of reaources
WHY THEY SMASH MR,PEPPER MINT.🤔🤯
Sad how brothers and sisters set u up like that just sad.
Busting buyers is as bad as busting johns.
Weed bro police ain’t shit frfr
These addicts who are already desperate, living in terrible conditions, broke, and unemployable. Now we are gonna give them a felony and seize their car and put them in prison. When they get it out what are they gonna do when they can't get a job from the felony and they have no car? This is why our system is so messed up. 💯
Grew up in Jacksonville, spent my first 19 years there. Trying to see if I recognize any of these upstanding citizens
In my opinion maybe I'm wrong for thinking this but in my opinion, I think that when a cops when cops do a sting operation that's like a entrapment in a way and it shouldn't count. Because the cops are setting this thing operation up and it's not a real criminal doing it. That was a notion in my head I thought about but I'm over it now. Sting operations are good it's just how I felt at one time that because of criminal actually isn't doing it and the cops are doing it it shouldn't count. Just like I was under the impression that you have to identify yourself when you're a cop otherwise that don't count cuz that's called entrapment. A lot of cops they do things like without warrants and stuff and that doesn't count either meaning you can't hold that in court if you don't if the cop doesn't follow the rules just stuff like that.
As soon as that cop in The Sting said "that's some good stuff" she knew that was a cop. A black dude selling drugs out of a trap house talking like a white guy gave it away.
You did all that for two half grams of marijuana, I hope you reincarnate as a poor minority, and get to deal with police harassment your entire life.
Ball lickers
This makes me very sad 😢
Love cops taking advantage of sick people, dude needs help, not jail time.
Then you wonder why everyone hates cops, if that was my uncle or my dad, my brother, I'd hate you for preying on his addiction lik this!
Evil people, not helping anyone…
This operation doesn't help or solve anything these pathetic people are wasting time and resources on this thing that's not gonna help or prevent anything this is so sad for real
All this for a dime bag of weed smh
Can't really claim you're cleaning up when cops are half the problem. Cops selling drugs to users so I can't imagine the cops in these situations being any better than the "criminal" especially if you have to create sting ops to bust people.
