North Carolina police department looking for ‘green’ crack on St. Patrick’s Day

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Greensboro Police Department on Tuesday joked about finding green crack on St. Patrick’s Day.

“Happy St. Patrick’s Day,” the department wrote on the social media platform, X. “If your crack cocaine is green today, it’s the pollen. More importantly, please let us know if you have cocaine so we can visit you.”

Someone responded by saying that they should go after murderers and rapists, not people who do cocaine.

“We go for those too, boo,” the department said in response to the comment. “Check out our news releases.”

St. Patrick’s Day celebrations took place over the weekend and many will take place Tuesday.

President Donald Trump met with the Taoiseach of Ireland, Micheál Martin on Tuesday.

During the visit, he criticized Europe’s immigration policies.

“I love Europe,” Trump said. “I’ve spent a lot of time in Europe. It’s a different place. Bad things have happened to Europe, very bad things, and you better do something about immigration.”

Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance hosted Martin and his wife, Mary O’Shea, for a St. Patrick’s Day breakfast.

Vance described Ireland as an important trading and economic partner.
