"All right, all right, we'll bomb that bridge when we come to it then. For now, they're not the problem, they're a publicity stunt for the 11th Precinct and their oh-so-revered Captain Strauss. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Half of these users can barely remember their own names, let alone understand their rights, when they're arrested."
She gathers up a sheaf of papers from her desk, flipping through them. "Nothing stands out in her background.

Word on the street is that she broke the jaw of the last lieutenant who brought up disagreements about her operations policies though." She puts aside a few papers.
"But overall, we've got three things to look at here.
That strong a spike in 'gang activity' isn't even a statistic, it's a performance. It's almost got to be a play at drumming up anti-mutant sentiment. Right down to insurance companies trying to slither their way out of counting mutants as people under their coverage.
The boys from the 11th, one of the same precincts that had been playing musical chairs with its beat cops when the MGH distribution started to rise, are making arrests leading to convictions at a rate that... it's just not possible.
And then there's still the fact that.... well, there's an absence of something. We should be hearing about increases of anti-mutant violence or abduction. There's just no other explanation for this much MGH. Nothing though. Not even chatter about other drug rings trying to get a cut of the action.
