Dangerous drug dens disguised as sleepy storefronts no longer plague the surrounding area of Los Angeles’ MacArthur Park after a series of gang-busting raids. The Post had a front-row seat for “Operation Dead Horse” — designed to take down the 18th Street gang— as officers from the LAPD and FBI took some of the most dangerous criminals off the street, splitting their operations open from the inside out. Officers targeted key street-level operations in some of the city’s most blighted areas, starting with MacArthur Park, in an operation Wednesday night.
