If this "event" has been taking place forever, then the police could do something about it if they wanted to. The fact is, they simply choose not to.
And might I add, if you've seen the video, then you clearly see who the participants are that are breaking the law. The same goes for the strip of road out by the dog track in Roebuck. Does it surprise anyone that these masses are breaking the law as they so often do and could care less about what happens?
They go where they know law enforcement will just pat them on the back and tell them "Yo man, y'all can't be doin this right here out here, know what I mean?" And that's about the limit of punishment they will get. A brothah lookin out for a brothah.
I have worked with the Irondale PD to do something about the racing on John Rogers Drive, and Irondale PD is willing to put a stop to it and will, but the racers keep their illegal activity on the other side of the first bridge, which puts their actions out of the Irondale PD jurisdiction. So it lands in the lap of Birmingham....hence, that means that nothing will be done about it.
And don't bother complaining to Birmingham City Councilwoman Duncan. She ignores or gives zero regard to anyone who contacts her on any matter regarding lawlessness in the eastern area of Birmingham.
