Mayor Sadler's nasty revenge on Smallwood | Eastern NC Now

Smallwood was never Mayor Sadler's favorite place.  It voted for his opponent in November.  More recently, it bucked him hard when Sadler tried to do a favor for a developer crony that would have hurt their neighborhood.  That led to Sadler being caught on an open mike using very deorgatory profanity to describe the residents of Smallwood. That, too, circulated widely.

This morning Sadler deployed his police revenge on Smallwood.  It was crawling with multiple cars of city police handing out speeding tickets.  This was done in early morning when people were going to work or taking kids to school, a time targeted to catch neighborhood residents rather than other citizens.  It is the first time in memory when a residential neighborhood has been targeted by police this way in Washington.
