"The opioid injection drug users are seen as what's causing everything wrong with this community," Davis said.

It's TRUTH. I see it Every - Freakin' - Day at my work. The shoplifters show up sweaty and shaky, trying to steal whatever fits in a coat pocket, or to grab a case full of power tools, then make a dash for the door. They get off any time they are caught since APD doesn't even bother to show up, or if they do, it's 4-5 hours later, and then they get a slap on the wrist (thank you, SB91) and it's off to the next store to steal from, or someone's shed, or back yard, or vehicle, all for another score so they can stick a needle in their veins. Anchorage is becoming a cesspool (credit to Billy for that one).
