For the most part, my understanding is that the police do have what they need... however, when a demographic decides they refuse to be a snitch, their hands are tied. No one ever sees anything.
Honestly, I have zero reason to go into the city at this point other than the occasional trip to the court house. Nothing of the regularly reported violence in the city surprises me. I think I'm more surprised when there isnt anything reported. Wilmington has been going down hill for years and it's not getting any better. I doubt it ever will.
