The answer: Yes. The answer: No.
Today, Danville police held a press conference where they announced numerous arrests from their Burglary Task Force. The spotlight was on the five officers who blew the burglary ring up.
Here’s the quote from Broadfoot that has the talk going…
…Interviews of several suspects led to the discovery of a local gang, called “The Runners”, who operated as a “Bloods” criminal street gang. The Runners had been in existence since the summer of 2008 and were working in conjunction with “West Mo”, another Bloods criminal street gang. The Runners operated mainly from the Druid Hills neighborhood and WestMo operated from the Westmoreland neighborhood…
Dear God! Danville Has Gangs! was heard as the panic ensues. The cynical ones said “We thought Danville didn’t have gangs, Broadfoot.” More panic ensues as hysteria runs rampant in the street. Will Danville survive? Then came the big question… Does Danville Have A Gang Problem?
Here’s the answer…
Yes. You’d be a fool to believe that Danville doesn’t have gangs. They may call themselves “Bloods” but they are nowhere near the criminal enterprises then the “real” Bloods gangs are, but they’re out there.
No. It’s not a problem. Danville has a police department that pulls 5 officers off the streets and tells them “You’re now a task force and you’re to solve this problem.” Those five officers go out and get 375 criminal charges in four months and complete their task beyond expectations.
Today isn’t a day to wring hands about a potential threat to Danville from “gangs”. Today was a day to celebrate the hard work of those five officers.
Don’t tell Halifax Sherrif, King Stan, about this. He’s already convinced that Halifax is overrun by bloods and crips.
Word to yo mutha.
Danville does have the “Bloods”. And they better watch out cause we are on your every move.
Watch out all you Gangs.(bloods & crips)…..You better be going somewhere else or !!!!!!! Got your every move. Your so called members are ratting you out!!!!
No Danville has a smoke and mirrors problem with the Danville, Va Police Department. My article is proof and facts https://merletrutledge.wordpress.com/2017/02/01/gang-activity-in-danville-va-leads-to-defective-search-warrants-within-its-police-department/
A good article to run Southside is why are all these so called Gang members that was published in the newspaper across Southside, Va not running stories about how many dismissals have come based off these so called gang criminal enforcement.
Danville has really turned into a mess.i left Danville 8yrs ago,to return for a a visit and the change is unbelievable with the children.But like always they concentrate on the roadway landscaping but the neighborhoods are being over run by thugs (white and black).If you want my opion the police department should have more foot patrols in the gang areas.Its obvious they know where they are,they shouldn’t say they don’t have the funds.Cut back on the unnecessary landscaping and make Danville safe again,being since I have lived there and like always no jobs,and my qulifications are not worth losing my life at Good Year
