Tonight at about 9:45 PM (shift change time) a man was robbed and
beaten so bad he had his nose broken. Yep by a group described only as black
males. That’s only part of the tragedy. The other tragedy is the fact that
this happened so close to several city cameras you could hit them with a rock,
but why bother their utterly useless, and not because they don’t work but
because there is only ONE person trying to watch nearly 300 cameras.
Then our thief of police has the nerve to say to WBRE's Joe Holden
“this is an isolated incident”. NO IT IS NOT, and how would you know anyway,
with Magoo seeing nothing I mean?
The incident tonight happened near the corner of Carey Ave &
Hanover. Magoo has several cameras right near Meyers that have a range of about
2 blocks, yet not one saw anything. Perhaps if the Hawkeye board truly wanted
to offer a crime prevention system they could have offered less cameras yet
more eyes on them, but my guess is the monitoring side didn’t offer nearly as
many kickbacks as the installation side, considering we are paying about
$10,483 per camera at install, yet replacement is only about $3,000. I'm not
quite sure how that works considering their both wireless, but what do I know?
I really wish someone, anyone would explain how a $977 camera
costs $10,000.00 NEW, yet only $3,000.00 on replacement?
