If they would have dealt with the meth house that sourced this murder when the community asked them, then they wouldn't be dealing with the aftermath. We have an abatement procedure for properties that create crime and blight, and this one was headquarters for the red bandanna drug dealers who were also threatening neighbors with their guns while distributing meth. 

Will EPD actually respond to calls for service in the Whiteaker? I'll know when a certain  EPD Lt. who shall remain unnamed comes back to us and explains that their policy has changed. Yes, that's right. One of EPD's own told me that in spite of his efforts, EPD would not work in our neighborhood.
