Cooperation with the police makes all the difference in a community. If the community believes that the criminal justice system works reasonably well, crime rates will be low.

I love a happy ending.

In places like Port St. Lucie and Ferguson the people HATE the cops, antagonize them like crazy, won’t ‘snitch,’ but the second a McNugget is missing from their McDonald’s order they dial 911 and expect the police to handle the situation.

Headline in local paper probably read:

COP & VIGILANTE SHOOT BLACK TEENAGER

Would have expected the police to kill the homeowners(along with their pets), and let the home invaders go free.

That’s pretty much how things go most of the time these days. Sadly.....

*** or in bordering areas. People in those border areas have to be on constant alert for what are essentially “raids” from the areas where the criminals live.***

My grandparent’s family farm was in one of these areas near Nashville, TN. On one side of the creek was N****r town(Their words,not mine).

The other side was another nice farm which was later sold and high dollar resident homes built there.

My aunt said she saw lots of black kids go into this nice area and steal everything they could get their hands on. She would often go out and yell at them to get off her property. I won’t say the words she used.

Most of the crime in the country occurs in areas where the police are not trusted, or in bordering areas.

You aren't supposed to say that about a criminal.
