Do you think the police should focus more on finding hardcore criminals other than on vendors?

Collin Lewis - newspaper vendor: “Vendors are not committing any crime. The majority of us are here trying to make an honest living so the police should focus more on finding gunman and big criminals and come off the back of the vendors.”

Anthony Blake - jewel vendor: “It is better them use the Operation Restore Paradise to look for criminals instead of wasting time trying to make life difficult for vendors. While I have no evidence to give you, I don’t believe that any vendors are committing crimes.”

Southie - porridge vendor: “I think they should leave us alone. We are here trying to make a living outside of crime but if they continue to pressure us the way they are now doing, some weak vendors might just take up criminal activities to survive.”
