Keep it up, keep up the pressure. Don't let these cretins see the light of day ever again. I wonder how many are deportees? Bring back Candelier and another La Soga. Mano Duro.

Cops in DR just ask but don't search... No criminal is going to admit anything, they need to learn from US cops

Take them all to the back alley and dispose of them accordingly. Society will be forever grateful.

If i'm not mistaken, most of the big drug dealers live in afluent neighborhoods. Maybe a big raid in Naco, La esperilla, el millon or Arroyo Hondo should be next. Not to mention all those luxury towers being built and sold to God knows who.

While this type of sweep might help slightly with the availability on the street. The big fish who are quite obviously in positions of power are swept under the rug. Some of the biggest drug arrests have been made lately and the US has even handed over a list of government officials and military they feel are involved but all we hear about is a raid in the slums? Yea that's where the mastermind of all these drugs getting sold is. Pathetic.Another example of our failure at law enforcement and ridding ourselves of corruption.
