It is a fact, in days of old crooks were not so bold and some neighborhoods were fairly safe
However today we have a very large number of, well, junkies, and to a junkie that money in your wallet.. It's his, we also have teen gangs that go out to "Get Paid" and they don't respect any neigborhood, or for that matter anyone.. I mean when one teen gang member pulled his gun a friend of mine pushed his girl to safety, and announced he was state police, He literly died on his shield (The convicted gang members appealed their sentence, at the re-sentencing the judge spend rather a long time praising the morals and actions of the deceased victim trooper. He also listened to the pleas of the convicts, and promptly sentenced them to enough time in the pokey to insure they don't ever get out and kill again. (60 years if memory serves, to 150)
This was in one of the safest, and best patrolled, parts of Detroit
(By the way, the convicts still don't respect, they don't know how to respect, however I suspect they are learning)
You see, the trooper was in the way of their "Getting paid"
One of the mothers of the convicts made some comment about the cops grabbing "The first black kid they could get their hands on" and in truth we did, but he was a different case, Turns out he had nothing to do with the killing, he's doing 30 years for possission with intent to distribute though.
