Earlier this month,Watch Pepaya Gantung Online police officers attempted to lure Chicagoans into arrest with a "bait truck" filled with shoes and goods left abandoned in a neighborhood. After video of officers arresting a man went viral, community members expressed outrage at the set-up tactics — and Chicago's own Vic Mensa stepped up, too.

Norfolk Southern Railway, the instigating force behind the bait truck incident, explained that the tactic was implemented because of ongoing cargo theft, and eventually apologized for the sting operation that was executed alongside Chicago police.
“We sincerely regret that our actions caused further unease, and we don’t plan to use this method in the future,” a Norfork's regional manager of community and legislative relations told the Tribune.
