    The police don’t come now if you live in the wrong area. American police protect the property of the rich. That’s it.

      America is pretty massive. Is this the case across the board? Seems like an oversimplification of a complex system/problem. How much of it might be something as simple as staffing shortages, not enough staff to respond to every need, esp. in a very “needy” place?

        I think the police have proven they are only out to protect the property of the rich enough times to say that it is across the board. The police are one of the largest gangs in America and they are inherently corrupt. If a cop in a small town cares about normal people it doesn’t really matter in the big picture of police corruption in america.
