      Give dealers the credit 
     
     
      Lovemore Masakadza's Dec. 1 article, "Police step up raids and seize more drugs" did a fine job of showing the contrast between Durham present and Durham past. The quantities of confiscated drugs was a whopping five times that of last year. Well, bravo! But now, instead of pointing fingers of blame at each other, the police want to credit the community for this great gain. While the community feels it's the police who are doing an outstanding job. Masakadza did a fine job himself getting to the truth. It's the strengthening of the police/community partnership that helped post these impressive confiscation figures. Now both groups have been joined by Realtors, property managers, PAC2 and INC, city employees, and plenty of others. We're all standing and clapping, so why isn't anyone taking a bow? Since none of the partners seem willing to accept the kudos they've earned, I have an idea. Let's honor our drug dealers! Without them, none of these great partnerships would exist. We'll throw a huge party with everyone invited! Speeches will be made, and special invitations will be hand delivered. We'll gift the honorees free room and board, expensive bracelets, and even free clothing. So we all know who to applaud, we'll dress our heroes in orange jumpsuits! What fun this will be. Now, where could we hold such a large celebration? How about criminal and civil courts? The more the merrier, so pass the word! Good job, everyone.
