I have lived in town my entire life. I have used drugs, sold drugs and am now recovered from drugs. I feel that this is something that needed done and I also feel like it is about time KPD did something besides prey on innocent people. If the KPD would put more time in to getting the hard drugs off the street as they do picking on innocent people the town would be safe again. I am sure that the State Police was behind this and used KPD as a back up. Come on! How many times as First Class Officer Reynolds screwed things up!
