Cat Fight (almost forgot)
About midnight last night it was really quite around Somerset and all of
a sudden my friend called and said something was going down at Somerset
and to hurry up. Well 2 minutes prior the streets were deserted and now
there were about 50 people crowded around. The excitement "A Cat Fight"
Two hookers were going at it. I knew the one girl Ellie but didn't know the
other one, but did see her out before. Seems like the other girl was getting
the best of Ellie when decided to rip at her halter and show her wares to
the screaming crowd. Think this was a bad mistake as the other girl
just got really pissed and friggin pummeled her. Saw Elle walking around
about 20 minutes later with her bf and her face was really red. So if you
see her around today or tomorrow she's probably gonna be pretty swollen.
Police Crackdown. It's for real.
You all should also be aware of this radio report (copied from [url=http://www.kyw1060.com/pages/2745807.php?contentType=4&contentId=2551126]here[/url]) that I heard this evening:

[size=+1]Police Crack Down on Prostitution in Kensington[/size]
[s][i]by KYW's Paul Kurtz[/i]
Undercover cops are targeting prostitues and their customers along a portion of Kensington Avenue.
Police say the corridor, notorious for prostitution traffic, had become disturbingly busy so the vice squad set up an undercover operation in early July. Officers operate out of a portable booking station in the back of a parking lot near the Avenue.
Lieutenant Charles Green is in charge of the operation:
"Historically, it's been an area of high level, street level prostitution but recently the activity has spiked, for whatever reasons there might be," says Green. "There's been a lot problems with residents out here who have to witness this type of activity. We have business people who are in the same position."
Last month the focus was on prositututes. More than 50 were arrested.
Now, undercover cops are reeling in the customers. Ten men were arrested on Wednesday, alone. One of those arrested was a state parole board worker.
"He was in a state vehicle when he was arrested fpor patronizing a prositute," says Green.
While the focus is currently on Kensington, Green says the vice squad will soon be targeting other hot spots.
"We have a number of complaints throughout the city of street level prositution as well as indoor prositution and prositutution over the internet," Green said.[/s][/indent]
Ironically, I was on the K Thursday evening ([url=http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?t=5224]food-related[/url], Officer) and saw a total of one patrol car. Calm after the storm, I guess.
Are you sure you're talking about Kensington here?

The scene yesterday afternoon along Kensington Avenue was all too typical: alluring women in revealing outfits attracting male drivers who pulled over and began negotiating a price...[/QUOTE][color=red]"Alluring women in revealing outfits?" [/color] On Kensington? Huh? Talk about a dead giveaway. If I saw that I'd KNOW there must be a sting going on. :)
Something tells me Barbara wrote this story from the comfort of her office without venturing over to K to do real reporting. With very few exceptions like Avonna who occasionally used to dress up (see DukePV's Alphabetic Photo Links thread), K girls do not dress in revealing or sexy outfits or make much effort at appearing "alluring." Some are cute, attractive, or once in a great while even bordeline beautiful. But the vast majority don't flaunt themselves like you might see in the old days in AC for example. They dress down because they don't have anything better to wear or to try to stay under LE and local resident radar and heat. It's probably good to be more cautious and lay low for awhile. But I agree with Cooky, this too shall pass.
RE: Channel 10 and Are you sure you're talking about Kensington here?
[QUOTE=Trashed201]Saw the report and it occurred to me we haven't heard from Cooky Jar for over a week. Hopefully he didn't get stung. I highly doubt it but for my peace of mind and other fans if your o.k. and just taking a break let us know with a check in![/QUOTE]
I am out of town, in the mid-west, on business. I hate these trips.

Yeah! Mike, I thought that a little weird and a died give a way. Did anyone actually see one of these girls/officers? How were they dressed? Did they blend-in?
Usually what gives them away is the activity around them and the fact that they just look to fresh, clean and drug free. Also, I have never heard of an undercover female officer who actually got into a car. If a girl will not get into the car and drive with me, I start wondering.
