I wonder if property crimes are down at all because people have just stopped reporting them. Since there is no follow up or crime enforcement now, the only reason to file a report is for insurance purposes.
Good thing they are laying off the crime statistics person, I could use a break from all he bad news.
“6401 block of Shellmound St.: A robbery at gunpoint occurred. LOSS: Cash, 1oz of Marijuana, and car keys. The keys were recovered at the scene. Suspect: Male, 5’6”, 170 lbs., wearing a black hooded sweater.” – What was the race and age of the suspect?
“A robbery at gunpoint occurred…Male, 6’0”, thin build, wearing dark clothing” What race? And what age?
“During traffic congestion a male exited his vehicle accusing another motorist of hitting his vehicle. The male demanded the motorist’s property for the damages. The male then reached inside the motorist’s vehicle, took his cell phone by force, and left the area.” Again, what race? What age?
They used to provide this information. Why have they stopped providing two of the most important parts of the description?
If this is how they report criminals on EPD radio traffic, no wonder we have so much trouble with crime.
This is a simple question that we deserve an answer to: Are the people robbing others at gunpoint and knifepoint young or old, black, white, latino, asian, or something else?
I totally agree with you,how do you even come close to the identity of a person? No racial discrimination,just need some straight up facts about the criminals…what a sick way of describing these events..protect yourselves,we all need to be ready..
