Flutterby™! : Impacts of the casino on the local economy

I'm pretty quick to jump on police misconduct, perhaps too quick, but being on the local Nixle feeds is helping me to gain a little bit more sympathy. An example:

California Highway Patrol, Santa Rosa Area: DRUG DEAL TURNS UP FAKE CASH, which starts out as an officer checking out an SUV pointed the wrong way on an on-ramp, turns into a hit and run investigation, and then...

Through questioning officers determined that the occupants of the Chevy contacted Kirk in the parking lot of the Graton Casino. Jacoby gave Kirk approximately $4500 in counterfeit currency for 2 lbs of marijuana. Immediately following the transaction, Kirk became suspicious of the money and attempted to stop the Chevy as they left the casino lot. When the Chevy wouldn’t stop, Kirk followed them onto the Golf Course Dr. on ramp to southbound US-101. A minor collision occurred when Kirk attempted to get in front of the Chevy to stop it. Kirk initially left, but returned to the scene in an attempt to get police assistance with getting his money or his marijuana back. While on scene, officers smelled the distinct odor of marijuana coming from Kirk’s vehicle. A search of his vehicle revealed additional amounts of marijuana.
