According to the Stockton Midtown Community Watch (Secret Group) Admin and Neighborhood Watch Captain (Marci Mae Waller) who has strong family ties to SPD, The SPD claims it’s very RARE an innocent person is hit by gun fire. So I ask, why should SPD investigate these homicides since they already believe everyone hit by gun fire is guilty of a crime? SPD and Community Watch Groups are the Judges and Juries and according to them, all these people are guilty of something so they deserve to die. Let me know if you want a screen shot of her post. Also, here is the link to a murder attempt on my life which that I submitted online and the police replied back my report was “rejected and deleted”. I reached out to the Neighborhood Watch (on FB) They said “I have issues” and the FB admin closed my post and ignored the murder attempt on my life. I am a senior citizen and I don’t know anyone in this city, so why would all these people be complicit in a murder attempt on my life? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nrkJk9lWlE
