This man's arrest is worrying, but it's also important that law enforcement do their job. We hope this operation will lead to better results in controlling the drug situation in the neighborhoods.

  This article raises questions about the city's drug situation, but there are also many other issues that need to be addressed, such as education and social support for those involved in drug trafficking.

  I don't know if arresting these people is the right solution. Perhaps we should invest more in rehabilitation programs for those with drug problems rather than simply putting them in prison.
