You are right Nicole. Few short weeks ago a friend of mine tried to report a large group of kids and what looked like a fight about to begin. BPD put her on hold to “take emergency calls” never came back never took the report. So not 1st time for problems in this park after school. Maybe if BPD were in the area of park and school for couple hours after school, it would deter some of the stuff going on . My brother was suppose to be at that game at that park yesterday but changed his mind.. BTW Eric there are plenty of less than good people in Brentwood too. Finally hope the young man shot is ok and doing well.

Brentwood City Council: I hope Brentwood does not become another Antioch/Pittsburg. I don’t like what I have been seeing lately. Extremely bad behavior from new people moving into Brentwood. Lets not be a door mat to trouble just to be PC. Who on earth goes to a park with a gun?????
