How much crime is in the neighborhood? Police say "very little," residents say the opposite

"(wwmt) Larry Anderson heard the shots ring out as he woke up. he called it a trend of worsening violence in his neighborhood near eastern avenue and the oakhill north cemetery.

"'it don't seem like it ever stops in our neighborhood,' Anderson said. 'don't seem like nobody wants to try to really pull together like the other neighborhoods. what if it was your child? what if it was your aunt, niece, mother?"

"several people told news channel 3 they don’t feel the police are monitoring their area closely enough.

"one man said his children and grandchildren live down the street from the crime scene. he feels that while every community has its ups and downs, he wants to see the city commission address violence inside the home in particular.

"lately it's been domestics and loved ones killing each other,' Les Jones said. 'a mom and two kids. it's terrible. I don't care how you put it."

GRA: "Crime" is down and negligible, according to cops and the city. Then, on rare occasions, you hear from those who live in the neighborhoods and you get a different story.

N.S.: Sure, some bLACKS will occasionally complain that they don't get adequate police protection. But once you let the cops do their job, those same bLACKS will be screaming "racial profiling" at the top of their lungs. Of course, to hear professional liar Heather Mac Donald, all bLACKS want more aggressive policing.
