The News and Record has the details. A large number of individuals dedicated to undermining the police attended the session; and many spoke.
One of them fusses about traffic stops. This is one of the few proactive tools police have in a city that is sprawling and dependent on the automobile. Traditional “beat” policing is much more difficult in a place like Greensboro. Do you place a cop on the beat in every apartment complex?
Of course, the attendees and speakers don’t discuss repairing the black family, the dissolution of which is a key contributor to problems with crime in the black community. Police must monitor predominantly black sections more intently because of the murders and high crime rates.
The N&R’s editorial and hard news views are almost indistinguishable. This inveterate rabble rousing is shameful and does not send a welcome to the Chief of Police. Good luck to Kamran Afzal in his starting days. This will a troublesome and difficult time.
It has been literally decades they have been doing this, Fred. Do you think they might find some new tricks?
