Police in Elsmere, Delaware are kicking back and letting drug dealers do their work for them after posting a bulletin on Facebook, urging them to snitch on their competition.
Police Chief Laura M. Giles got the idea from her son, Josh, who goes to school in Texas. He saw a police department post a form on social media offering people peddling illegal narcotics a way to get rid of other dealers cutting into their profits.
"I thought, 'Wow, that's pretty cool,'" Giles toldDelaware Online.
In less than 24 hours of having the form posted, Giles said, two dealers already have reported their competition to police – and investigations are underway.
Long Beach, California rapper Vince Staples ruffled a lot of feathers when he gave his opinion on 90's hip hop. He acknowledged Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.'s contributions to hip hop, but didn't why such a big deal is made of that era.
Queens, New York veteran artist N.O.R.E. took exception to the comments and stated so on Twitter, leading to a sparring session with Vince.
I Am in no way judging him as a artist or person simply by that statement that is it
For a lot of music fans, 90's hip hop will never be topped. You had Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. cranking out hits. Artists like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Public Enemy, Nas, Mobb Deep, Outkast, Fugees and the Geto Boys were in their primes.
But as far as 22-year old Long Beach, California rapper Vince Staples is concerned, the 90's aren't that big of a deal.
"The 90's get a lot of credit. I don't really know why," Vince told Time. "Biggie and 2Pac, those were the staples of the 90's. That's why they get the golden era credit. There's not a 50 Cent in the 90's. Doesn't even have a Kanye. Jay Z's biggest song...his only number one happened a couple of years ago. The early 2000's is where it's at."

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A deputy was fired Wednesday after video showed him flipping a teen backward out of her desk and tossing her across a classroom, with the sheriff saying the officer did not follow proper procedures and training.
Richland County Senior Deputy Ben Fields was told of his firing late Wednesday morning, Sheriff Leon Lott said. Lott said he would not describe the now-former resource officer at Spring Valley High School as remorseful, but that Fields was sorry the incident happened and tried to do his job.
The student was being disruptive and refused to leave the classroom despite being told by a teacher and administrator to do so, Lott said, and that's when Fields was brought in Monday to remove her from the class. She again refused, and Fields told her she was under arrest, Lott said.
She continued to refuse, and video shows the deputy flipping the teen backward and then throwing her across the room. At that point, Lott said, Fields did not use proper procedure.
"I can tell you what he should not have done: He should not have thrown that student," Lott said during a news conference.
The agency's training unit looked at video of the incident and determined Fields did not follow proper training and procedure, the sheriff said.
Lott said he would not release Fields' personnel file, saying only that some complaints have been filed in the past against him, none of which came from the school district.
Court records show at least three complaints, though Fields prevailed in two of those cases.

Trial is set for January in the case of an expelled student who claims Fields targeted blacks and falsely accused him of being a gang member in 2013. In another case, a federal jury sided with Fields after a black couple accused him of excessive force and battery during a noise complaint arrest in 2005. A third lawsuit, dismissed in 2009, involved a woman who accused him of battery and violating her rights during a 2006 arrest.
Calls for Fields to be fired began mounting almost immediately after the video surfaced, and the FBI began a federal civil rights investigation at Lott's request. The confrontation was captured on cellphones by students, one of whom said it all started when the girl pulled out her cellphone and refused her math teacher's attempt to take it away during class.
Lott had said Tuesday that the girl was uninjured in the confrontation but "may have had a rug burn." However, her attorney contradicted that.
"She now has a cast on her arm, she has neck and back injuries. She has a Band-Aid on her forehead where she suffered rug burn on her forehead," Columbia attorney Todd Rutherford told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday.
The sheriff suspended Fields without pay Monday. Lott, who rushed home from an out of town conference when the news broke, said that a teacher and vice principal in the classroom at the time felt the officer acted appropriately.
Email, phone and text messages for Fields have not been returned.
More than a dozen parents and community members spoke out at a Tuesday night meeting of the Richland 2 School District. Some, black and white alike, said that the issue wasn't based on race and that the incident shows that teachers and administrators need to work harder on finding ways to handle defiant students.
Craig Conwell was angry, imploring board members to take action and saying Fields should have been fired immediately.
"If that was my daughter ... that officer being fired would be the least of his worries," Conwell said. "We are sick and tired of black women being abused. You can say it's not racist all you want to."
The deputy also arrested a second girl who verbally objected to his actions. Both girls were charged with disturbing schools and released to their parents. Their names were not officially released.
The second student, Niya Kenny, told WLTX-TV that she felt she had to say something. Doris Kenny said she's proud her daughter was "brave enough to speak out against what was going on."
Lott said the charges against the two students would not be dropped and would be dealt with at a later date. However, he commended the students who recorded the incident, saying he encouraged citizens to record authorities and bring it to his attention if they think something is wrong.
"I can't fix problems if I don't know about it," Lott said.
Sheriff's officials have stressed that the incident was not an issue of race. But a local NAACP official, who praised the Justice Department for investigating, said this was not something white students had to deal with.
"To be thrown out of her seat as she was thrown, and dumped on the floor ... I don't ever recall a female student who is not of color (being treated this way)," South Carolina's NAACP president, Lonnie Randolph Jr., said Tuesday.
The woman accusing Derrick Rose of gang raping her along with two of his friends is seeking $21.5 million in the lawsuit she's filed against the Chicago Bulls player, according to TMZ.
As we previously reported, the alleged victim, who is Rose's ex-girlfriend, claims that he, his manager Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen broke into her Los Angeles apartment and forced her into having sex, after previously drugging her at Rose's Beverly Hills home.
The incident occurred in 2013.
Rose admits to participating in group sex with the woman, but says it was consensual. He said that night wasn't the first time it happened.
