The Spotlight: Tacoma Police target crime on one of city's most infamous streets

[@angieholmquist2372]

OK, so arrest are up, how about convictions ? it's a waste of time to even bother with arrest when prosecutors refuse to do their job....

[@hablemostorah3086]

Arrests bring in money, convictions don't...

[@KidCorporate]

You're asking the right questions. Expect to be brigaded by angry leftists./\

Pacific Ave, from 72cd to 112th street has has drugs and prostitution for as long as I've lived in Tacoma. 35 years. Worse now then ever. The homeless camp on 82cd has made the street a haven for the drug dealers in the apartments on C St. Do something bout that too.

[@TommyT1025]

Grew up on 84th and pacific still bad over there

[@th4759]

Intentionally failing to address and document crime isn’t reducing crime, it’s just failing to report crime! That’s Tacoma police for you.

[@kevinnosx9]

They should make crime illegal over there

[@vapormissile]

Add warnings of stern consequences. They BETTER not do it.

[@catdaddy2643]

If a thing is illegal, that thing is a crime. It is not illegal it is not a crime.

Tacoma Police “claim” a reduction of crime in Tacoma by NOT REPORTING crime! 🤣🤣🤣 A man intentionally hit a woman with his car. From a stand still, drove forward, turned his car to hit the woman and continued driving forward, forcing the woman to shuffle her feet backwards, hands on hood, and tried not to fall and be run over. Cops arrive, belittle and demean the victim, asked the man not a single question and let him drive away. Cops also leave, leaving woman crying alone in her car.

[@wl6020]

Those apartments better have 2 armed guards in security cars, lights flashing 24/7 to make it safe. Hosmer st is very dangerous at night.

[@nickroth593]

The zombie apocalypse has hit Hosmer street. Murder is as common as someone stopping for gas and no change in sight. Came home on day to an officier telling it wasn't safe for the kids to be outside because someone just got stabbed 8 tines in the chest and died and the were looking for the suspect.

Tacoma is a hell hole. The most lawless and noisiest city I have ever lived in.

[@PeteMcCorvey]

I have to agree with you. I lived in metro Atlanta back in the day and went to college in Mobile, AL and was stationed in San Diego, CA (the Navy base is sandwiched between like 2 bad neighborhoods) and used to visit family and friends in South Central Los Angeles all the time and I NEVER had any of my property stolen or feared getting shot until I moved to Tacoma. Crazy!

[@Phenixrising-p1p]

I used to live off off 92nd and Hosmer and Alaska street. Sold my house and moved out to south hill. Now it's bad out here. I'm done with WA state the politics here SUCK so my next move will be Idaho.

[@chuckmarquart]

It's a sign of overpopulation..... Running away to Idaho is not gonna solve one problem..... Crime will follow you........

[@Scoutsquad45]

2a there is accepted but plus Idaho seems to care for law abiding citizens unlike Tacoma Wa

[@Phenixrising-p1p]

@M1Ascoutsquad45 exactly 2a is what I need and it's not in this state anymore.

I came to the Puget Sound area on the Kittyhawk just in for dry dock work after a thirteen month tour of duty in Vietnam. September of 69.This place was safe no matter the time of day or night. This is not that place in the past. There seems to be a feeling of darkness hovering over the inner cities. We need a change.

[@urielgrey]

It would be helpful if the judges we had protected their INNOCENT communities INSTEAD of the criminals who are preying there!!! Stop catch and release. Though because they pulled the teeth of their police it is what they deserve. Funny how now they want protection when they render their own protectors in the form of the police so helpless and without the training, equipment etc that funding them gives. Ironic defunding provides the EXACT opposite of the outcome they want... Police with the skills to de-escalate things, proper training, equipment and staff to deal with everything they do. But who am I to say anything lol only one of the innocent who can only add to my vote against those who did this to the beloved area I live in. Never approved voted when I could against it. Felt shame and disgust against everyone including the media for supporting mesures against the benefits of what well funded police do for us. Oh well we can't even now have good guns that will protect us due to our government and fear of the few bad people... Lol like criminals obey laws about guns etc!

Ya the cops a FOS! My car was broken into in Tacoma, I called the cops who basically told me it was an insurance claim! For some reason I was under the silly impression robbery was a crime! Crime isn’t down, what police report as crimes are down!

[@PeteMcCorvey]

I lived in Downtown Tacoma and my car was stolen out of my gated parking garage. I called the police and was told to wait for an officer to come to my apartment building. The officer instead called me back and took my report over the phone over 3 hours later. Luckily the person who stole it just abandoned it like 6 days later and when they went to tow it they realized it was mine from the info that was given. Tacoma PD is the most useless law enforcement agency that I have ever seen in my life. Chief Avery Moore needs to be FIRED for incompetence! He's pathetic!
