City government has been non-responsive to local resident's questions about cost recovery and accountability. They duck questions about the breakdown of law enforcement citywide during such events. Just up the street from the CHP, the Fire Department is being flagged down by shooting victims only to have them attempt to flee when police are summoned. Some minutes later, SPD officers speculate the suspects detained by CHP could be passengers in the van from which the shootings took place. No answer comes.
Frustrated officers call for help to secure the crime scene, none is available.

Sacramento Police had been tipped off to potential problems the night before as reports of an after-hour Post Rap party was being promoted at the popular Brannan's nightclub at. The club, plagued by civil disturbances in recent weeks, apparently wanted no part of another potential problem. Prior to midnight, the club was turning rap promoters and their entourages away at the door. While we may not have enough of them, particularly on a Sunday night, Monday morning, our cops were undaunted and are very savvy to the club scene that's been draining police resources from our neighborhoods most weekends.
