Journalists do not understand the law very well... In this case, the police hit up a bunch of people they suspected of being the dealer's customers and asked them if they wanted to buy more drugs. The callees who were arrested agreed to buy more drugs without persuasion. That's not entrapment. Left out of the article, because they were not relevant to the opinion, is those people the police texted who chose not to buy drugs from the dealer being impersonated.

> The callees who were arrested agreed to buy more drugs without persuasion. That's not entrapment. It seems I'm confused about what constitutes entrapment. If an officer walks up to me on the street and offers to sell me drugs, is that entrapment? (I see that as exactly the same as sending a text message, or email)
