Police offer to 'eliminate competition' for drug dealers

“Is your drug dealing competition costing you money?”

POLICE IN KENTUCKY are using a novel way to try to catch drug dealers.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has posted a flyer to its Facebook page encouraging local drug dealers to rat out their competition.

It reads: “Is your drug dealing competition costing you money? We offer a free service to help you eliminate your drug competition!”

Please share!!!!!!! We need your help. Franklin County Sheriff Franklin County Sheriff

At the bottom of the letter, people are asked to fill out information about the drug dealer they are reporting, including their name and vehicle.

The post has been shared over 400 times.

Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton said he got the idea from the McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia.

    I think it’s mad that the English are so into Mrs Browne’s Boys. Is it as popular in Ireland or is it a Dublin thing mainly? Genuine question…

    It’s the type of humour. If you look back at English comedies 60′s to 80′s they were largely over the top lampoon type charachter driven like mrs brown.
    If the bbc or whoever tried to make something similar today theyd be feicked from a height for making such a throwback, gap in the market fully exploited by what’s his name, I take my hat off.

    But to answer your question it’s a generational thing I’d wager.

    Yeah It seems that it’s very popular in the UK! I was in Scotland for the summer and had numerous people ask me If I had ever seen Mrs Brown’s Boys. Its filmed in Glasgow too.

    The viewers should have been thanking the BBC for any interruption to Mrs Brown’s boys

    Even after passing away Mandela was briefly able to make the world a better place. Wonder did any of Mrs Browns UK viewers actually know who Mandela was before the interruption.
