"Not when
everyone in the room knows where the dealers live, yet the police never
seem to visit those houses. Not when gunfire erupts almost everynight,
yet when the police come through, they rarely get out of their cars.
Not
when one woman I spoke to told of calling police to report at least
10 shots fired on the night before the 12-year-old was hit. No one
showed
up . The woman called again, and when police came, they did not knock
on
the door of the home of the bad guys, "but they did show up at my
door, so now all the thugs know exactly who called the police. Andall
the cops said was, 'Did you call?' And then they drove around and left.
So if I die, I just want people to know that's how it happened." [more]
