TAMPA — With more guns on the streets and more people being killed, Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor on Monday implored city residents who refuse to cooperate with investigators to help stop the violence.
Among those killed by guns in the last 10 days are three teenagers, one of them a 14-year-old boy shot to death over the weekend. Police also are investigating a weekend shooting that put four men in the hospital.
“We get very little cooperation from the witnesses, and in most cases, from the victims in these shootings that have gone on the past three months,” Castor said at a news conference, “and historically we haven’t had much help from those out there in the community” in spite of what she described as well-cultivated relationships between the department and citizens.
The incidences of gun-related violence in Tampa have skyrocketed so far this year.
***** "Castor said 12 of the 15 homicide victims were African-American. The victims also have included children who were not the intended targets of the shooters.
So ... 12 of 15 homicide victims were black and the black community withdraws into itself and stifles investigations instead of being outraged like they do when a white person is involved. I don't fucking get it.
