A resident who wished to remain anonymous because of “what they did to that poor woman in the traffic stop.” told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that TPD has been well aware of the crowds that gather there, and that people who’ve complained say TPD won’t do anything about it. 

“It was no ambush, it was months of neglect,” said the resident. “Plus, nobody is ambushing anyone, it’s just people getting drunk at a party.” The resident then added that there's a general feeling of neglect by the police in this neighborhood.
