With all due respect for CUAPB, they need to be a bit more selective in the cases they take on. The fact that the alleged assualt is virtually identical to the one alleged to have occurred at the jail makes the story suspect. This was not a bunch of average citizens mistakenly attacked by police. The perps who operated out of 2519 3rd St. were veteran gangbangers who slickly raised havoc in our neighborhood. It would not be unusual for a veteran gangbanger to cop a story like this to try to take the attention away from the criminal charges they face.

Again, CUAPB needs to be more careful in picking the criminals it allies itself with. The gangbangers who occupied this house kept the neighborhood up all night with their drug dealing and prostitution. I reported such about a week ago, when customers were still stopping there every few minutes even at 4 in the morning. These criminals ruined women's lives by prostitution and drugged truck drivers then turned them loose on our neighborhoods. Since the bust we've had the quietest night in months here, where was CUAPB when we were under seige by these gangbangers?

By allying itself with these criminals CUAPB has totally blown what credibility they had. It is most unreassuring to know that when the gangs try to take over our neighborhoods, CUAPB will support them.
