This Is What Happens When Neighborhoods Don't Trust the Police
Someone shot at a group of officers in broad daylight in Wilmington, Delaware, and no one will speak up.
If you're looking for a case study in what happens when residents stop trusting their local police department, look no further than Wilmington, Delaware.
Last Wednesday afternoon, officers from the Wilmington Police Department and the Delaware State Police were questioning a woman suspected of selling stolen merchandise out of her car when someone opened fired on the group, wounding Delaware State Police Cpl. Richard Deskis. Wilmington police have yet to make an arrest, and one reason why is telling: residents are apparently scared to speak up for fear of retribution.
