The City Too Busy To Tell You If There’s a Rapist On The Loose
I just finished my first round of follow-up with the police to find out if in fact a woman was raped on the street 1.5 blocks from my house last night.
Do you think the city was helpful? You tell me:
I called the Zone 3 Precinct Office (Phone: (404) 624-0674) but was told that I have to call back at 10PM tonight to talk to morning shift supervisor Sgt. Smith.
So I have to wait a minimum of 10 hours to find out if there’s a rapist on the loose in my neighborhood? Of course, it’s not like he’d rape anyone before 10 anyway.
I called the APD’s public affairs office as well. They said call Zone 3 because they don’t know. Why would I think that Public Affairs have any information to help me, a member of the public? How silly of me.
So I left a message with my City Council Member, Joyce Shepard. Her number is (404) 330-6053. I haven’t heard back yet.
If you live in Southwest Atlanta and want to help — Call those numbers yourself and ask what happened to the naked woman who ran through Capitol View last night screaming “Help Me.” We deserve to know if there’s a rapist on the loose attacking woman who are walking down the street.
