Good Thoughts (none / 0) (#3)

I appreciate your comments and don't disagree.  My thoughts are not in what was done but how it was done. I expect David to live up to his promises and not pander to the press.

Today's Washington Post ran a companion story on these steroid stings.  It involved a Mobile AL internet pharmacy with connections to California.
It went deep into Olympic athletes and professional sports.  It was a cooperative effort between DEA and local authorities, but it was prosecuted by the US Attorney's office, not a local DA.

The back and forth bickering between David and local police must stop.  If it doesn't the citizens are the losers.  I just want to walk around my neighborhoood without fear.

David's clean on this (none / 0) (#4)

David has made his views on changing the way drug crime is prosecuted right from when he started to run for office.  People voted for David and David won big.  David beat an incumbent D.A.  Unfortunately some in local law enforcement don't want to accept the results of that election and don't agree with David's strategy.  The naysayers seem to want to take every opportunity to run down the D.A. as long as the local media will listen.  Everybody wants safe streets.  If David steps over the line in his comments he apologizes for it and moves on and keeps working.  If Deputy Burke wants to keep up his decades long career bringing down people with dime bags he can have at it, David's got the bigger picture in mind.

This is a created controversy.  The local media love it and will report the hell out of it until Burke and Mesley and their ilk stop spitting out quotes crapping on the D.A. It's funny how they all want to crap on the D.A. for a good investigation and a job well done.

Actually 3 words...publicity, publicity, publicity. The TU editorial cartoon got it right, Political Growth Hormone.
