These days, you’d be thug-scrummed.
Small towns aren’t as bad as the big cities.
In a small town the cops run the risk of jacking with the wrong family and loosing their jobs because of it. That has a tendency to keep them in line or if you kick their butts for getting out of line not much if anything is done about it.
In the big cities they aren’t as likely to run the risk of jacking with the wrong family simply because there is more people in the cities, and cops have a tendency
to want to throw their weight around with people more.
Too many times in big cities cops aren’t held accountable so they just keep doing it. When one gets away with it then the others think they can get away with it.
