The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

This raid is a law enforcement victory. The suspects involved in this investigation had provided lethal drugs like fentanyl to the community unchecked for a ridiculous amount of time, leading to at least one death. It's time that these criminals are held accountable for drug trafficking and they should be punished to the full extent of the law.

Establishment-critical narrative

While it's good that these individual drug traffickers were taken off the street, the reality is that someone else will likely fill their places in a dangerous market. The fact that some of the seized drugs were made to look like candy increases the risk to children and emphasizes the importance of stopping drug trafficking as an entire complex system.
