“Back then the cops were on the Koreans’ side. Not now.”
Perhaps at the individual level, but I saw a report where it said that the cops later collected their weapons and then were nowhere to be seen. Cops still hate competition.
The Rooftop Koreans were immigrants from a country that still had a draft (and for good reason), they were perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, when they needed to.
