New Jerseys heroin outbreak is starting to make a more valiant turn.
As police officers across the state are tightening their belts with the laws coming through
concerning the deadly drug, the state government is taking strides on gaining control of this
issue.
In Paterson, New Jersey, one of the state headquarters for the illegal sale and dealing of heroin,
police are working on new tactics, including the use of more unmarked vehicles in hopes that
some dealers will not catch on and continue to make deals out in the open. Since about 80% of
crime in the United States pertains directly to drugs, most of which is heroin, the country is
facing a new entity of issues. Since this is such a difficult battle for the police to fight, law
enforcement continues to spend thousands on a drug war theyre entering blind into.

Civilian from Wayne Assaulted by Local Police Force


After police approached a Littlewood Court home in Wayne, New Jersey this week, unarmed
civilian Alfred Garcia Jr. answered the door. With the intent of simply giving Garcias wife civil
service processing papers, the situation became heated.

Upon the police not leaving the premises, a scuffle commenced, with the 60 year old man being
pepper sprayed under the notion that a police officers life was in danger after being pushed
when told to leave. Police brutality is alive and well in New Jersey.

In National News
United States Senate Claims Torture Accusations Are Misled
When it comes to our political bureau, there are plenty of loopholes they love to use in order to
beat their own system that they set up. In fact, while using these loopholes, they are deemed
illegal to use by others who are not politically affiliated to them.
The Bush Administration left out hundreds of CIA documents in turn of revealing what is
considered appropriate information to be recorded. Because of this, the entire government is

being blamed under the notion that the Obama Administration is making the exact same
mistakes.

Newest Ferguson Trial Proves Pointless


As the Michael Brown case continues, there has been nothing but disrupt in the small town of
Ferguson, Missouri. From protests to looting and peace to violence, the chaos rate on the
towns streets hasnt changed too much.
Now that the case is finally being brought to intensive trial, experts and media outlets alike are
finding that those witnesses standing up in protest to either side are in fact lying about their
position, thereby making the trial void. As this continues, protesters and police supporters both
nationally and globally are worrying that this issue will not be resolved and will continue as
people strive to reach the truth.

McCain and Obama Plan to Close Nations Most Secure Prison


Republican Ex-Presidential Candidate John McCain is now working with President Barack
Obama in hopes to close Guantanamo Bay, the United States most renowned top security
prison. Although McCain has always criticized Obamas terms of policy and shareholding of
certain beliefs and ideals, he is not shameful of working with his democratic partner.
McCain claims that since he was a prisoner of war, he is aiming to close all prisons that may be
treating their inmates wrongly, even though his political affiliation has been known to favor
torture over the course of history.

growing in numbers as each year passes, which means in the coming years, the meteor shower
may be more visible in urban areas with light pollution where they would have not been normally
seen.
