"I'm Waiting for my Man"
The junkies in Williamsburg will have to wait longer, or maybe clean up their act and get a job. Okay, the job part might be crazy, it is Williamsburg.
The NYPD announced today they have shut down the drug-ring which investigators claim ran the North Williamsburg heroin game. After a four month long sting officers arrested seven alleged dealers who had sold heroin to undercover narcotics agents over 20 times throughout the investigation.
According to the police, these guys were devoted. They stood on the corner of Jackson Street and Kingsland Avenue near the Cooper Park housing projects, so much that investigators say they showed up on a Google Earth photo of the intersection. On a more disturbing note, these guys didn’t seem to care they were selling smack within 1000 ft. of a preschool. Authorities went on to explain that the ring allegedly had a clever method of peddling dope. From MSNBC:
The suspects, who range in age from 18 to 32, were seen on surveillance cameras hiding heroin by stuffing it in a magnetic lock-box behind a metal sign on a storefront…The heroin sold was packaged in glassine envelopes and was stamped with different logos including “Fed Ex,” “KFC,” “Powerful Impact,” and the “Monster” energy drink logo.
Criminals beware, the NYPD is on a roll. In addition to busting these drug dealers, authorities also charged several employees at the surrounding bodegas with possession and sale of untaxed cigarettes.
Ah so this is where the neighborhood crusty girl with the red curly hair gets her heroin? Good to know.
i’m waiting for people to start beating the shit out of cops or stop paying taxes to these thugs. no cop in nyc has ever done anything to benefit anyone but themselves or people who make over 100,000/year.

What are you, 14 years old?
The cops are doing their job and hunting down these degenerates. You’re obviously on the wrong side of the issue. Talk about mass generalizations – do you even know any cops?
What will the City do about the “RICH” Druggies?
I do agree, doing Drugs is not a CRIME, if you don’t get caught..
Cocaine is a Hell of a DRUG & we all know the Gentrifiers LoVe the White Stuff! Lol..
It’s easy to route out the “POOR SCUM” but what about the “RICH SCUM”.. It’s interesting to see folks attack the criminals on the corners (which is GOOD, get rid of all of them) but not the BIG CRIMINALS on Wall St & Big Consumers..
America the BeautiFul Drug Epidimec!! MeXico is suffering because of US or the U.S..
Remember 2 Wrongs don’t make a Right.. RICH or POOR
PUFF PUFF, SNIFF SNIFF
