“Our approach to ridding the streets of drugs and guns has been relentless and will only intensify in 2012,” said Mayor Brown. “Last year we saw crime continue to fall, while citizen involvement increased. This is another example of the community partnering with the police department to make stronger communities and a safer city.” The raids began at 9 a.m. Friday, and continued through early afternoon. 20 search warrants were executed mainly in the Bailey/Delavan, Bailey/Genesee and the Central Park neighborhoods. Officers seized various amounts of marijuana, crack, cocaine and weapons, including a loaded shotgun and a number of hand guns. Since the beginning of 2012, 102 warrants have been issued and 80 arrests have been made. Buffalo police, Buffalo Narcotics Squad, Buffalo SWAT, and the Buffalo K-9 unit were assisted by the Erie County Sheriff’s Office, Town of Tonawanda Police Department and the Cheektowaga Police Department.]]>

Insider describes ‘stunning’ moment judge made Trump ‘meekly’ sit down like a ‘little boy’
Donald Trump hasn't listened to anyone telling him to sit down since he was sent to boarding school, but that streak ended with Judge Juan Merchan the other day, according to a man who was in the room at the time that it happened.
During an appearance on MSNBC, columnist and longtime Washington insider Jonathan Alter set the scene for what happened when Merchan instructed Trump to have a seat. It has been reported that Trump was "fuming" after being made to sit like a dog would.
The host asked Alter how the event might affect Trump's "psyche."

"In the final minutes of the trial on Friday as Donald Trump was standing to leave the courtroom, the judge firmly told Donald Trump, 'Sir, can you please have a seat?' That moment has come to represent the stripping of control from a man who used to be the most powerful person in the United States, some could argue in the world. How could you -- how does this impact Donald Trump's psyche?" she asked Alter.
"Well, first of all, I was in the courtroom when it happened and it was a stunning, dramatic moment," he said. "You know, you have a former president of the United States who since the time he was a little boy never listen to anything -- anyone about anything. He was sent to military academy for being disobedient. Ever since, he has never sat down when someone told him to. In this case, he had to. He sat down meekly, like the obedient little boy he never was, and it was quite striking and I think it symbolizes that he is not the most powerful person in that courtroom."
"That honor," accord to Alter, "belongs to his honor, Judge Juan Merchan, who the country is becoming increasingly familiar with."
"And he is going to make Donald Trump face the music."
