I'm fairly new to the area, and I work down here as a service technican who is pretty much always on call. Well I got called out last night and I pretty much still rely on my GPS to get me around but the model I have doesnt have the Ghetto avoidance technology so of course it brings right down dodds, doddson, wilcox, and all the other scenic roads in chattanooga. I was actually a couple of blocks from where this shooting took place but I was there at about 9:30 pm. However, as I was driving home, it occurred to me that I had not seen one police cruiser, not one. Here I am driving through some of the worst areas of Chattanooga on a holiday weekend and there is ZERO police presence. Now I dont have a Phd in crimminal justice, but I would think that an increased police presence in these areas might help to deter crime. Where I come from the police departments were always out in full force on holiday weekends as they should be. Where the hell were all the police last night?
