POLICE 'MISINFORMATION' Re: Divide and conquer,' Dec. 3. In conjunction with the RCMP, Winnipeg Police have again penetrated the Hells Angels and the Zig Zag Crew. As we speak, there is a client-dealer gap being filled by other dealers from other organizations who were waiting for a moment just like this, reaping the monetary benefits of their direct competitors being temporarily out of business. Every couple of years, a "cell" gets penetrated and shut down and every couple of years we are led to believe that this is going to have an impact on the trade of drugs and weapons in the city. Winnipeg police spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen is quoted as saying, "We've hit the higher level of this particular cell. By doing so we know that is going to have a trickle-down effect all the way down to the lower dealers. We've hit the source." It's a shame that this type of propaganda is being disseminated by the police. They know trying to make the general public believe that this is going to have an impact on the drug trade is spreading misinformation.
