Does Rocky Mount need to do something about the Crime in the City?

In Yesterday column of Speak up of the Rocky Mount Telegram so posted that it was so embarrassing to see the crime in certain area of the city. While the others are spending so much time talking about het propose Event Center.  

In the comment section race was attacked and that Knight and his people are to busy trying to establish a strong hold on the city affairs.

Early this week the City of Rocky Mount PD held “coffee with a cop.” Where citizens can have a frank decision about crime and other issues while drinking coffee at a local Hardee’s restaurant.

One reason why the crime is high in the city is that most of the officers turn a blind eye to crime. O, I know many will claim they don’t but I know this for a fact, I have seen myself.

The PD will profile and harass the young black men on the local street corner, but they won’t stop and question a man walking down the middle of Cokey road with a shopping cart with a 1 ton heating and cooling unit, a fireplace mantle, or a stainless steel kitchen sink. I call these men the home un-improvement crew.

These folks break into empty homes and clean them out, of any and everything they can, including copper pipes and wiring. Why doesn’t the RMPD stop and question these folks??
