The Mayor of Cleveland has decided that even though he believes that cracking down on drug-dealers withguns will cause more violence in the streets, it will be worth it in the long run.

From The Plain Dealer:

Mayor Frank Jackson doesn’t want to see more deadly car chases and shootouts between cops and suspects, but under his new police plan, he expects them.

Jackson told the police this week to be more aggressive in targeting gun-toting drug dealers. He has said repeatedly that he expects there to be violent, perhaps deadly, run-ins between police and criminals.

“This is not a game,” Jackson said Wednesday. “People are killing each other. We expect more confrontations.”
