Good Friday Gambling Raid

Note "pistol" in sock of dude on the right.
Hooking them up.
Always under the watchful eye of rotary oinkers.
And advertising banners.
Captive audience.
Damn you to hell, "auto-focus".
The gambling operation was in a storefront next to the church. This reporter was advised (by two people who'd been shopping & then forced to wait inside the reefer store across the street that, coincidentally, was his destination) that the popo used a battering ram to obtain entry. While excited by the schadenfreude & opportunity for images of police terror, I was forced to pace angrily & seethe for a good hr. before reaching said reefer seller.

Would've been longer but two people went to the ossifers doing nothing & were escorted halfway across the street, I assumed to their cars, but no, they both went right into the Artist Tree. So I followed suit, giving my escort a fair amount of shit on the way, as in, "You don't compensate these businesses for hrs. of lost business, do you?" Must admit, being escorted across a street to a cannabis business by a cop as I gave him shit from behind a mask, shades & ballcap was never in any scenarios for the future.

My first thought was they were all people being detained by ICE and I felt sympathy for them. Once I read they had been in an illegal gambling operation I felt oh well, sucks to be you. I enjoyed reading your post.
