But the headline is - made me think that the police had a crack party." Not only that, it sounds like the city supplied the crack. Some kind of "Crack For Cops" program.

It's funny, a lot of people on the blotter were saying the same thing. Apparently Austin's tolerance for APD spin is very low. Surprise, surprise.

"put a dent" in the city's crack supply. I mean, one pringles can (and the little can at that) puts a dent in the supply? $50,000 in seven seizures over 10 years. Isn't this a little self-congratulatory. When one person get's a DWI does that "put a dent" in Austin's drinking and driving problem. Geez.
