They probably figure it's a lost cause so why not go all the way in the other direction?

Springfield is a depressed area with lots of gang/drug crime. I have to go into some of the worst neighborhoods there, and IMO, it's worse than any of the rough neighborhoods in Boston.

That said, I don't know that these black uniforms will be the answer. How about just cracking down on the hoods?

Isn't that their motto? "To molest and unnerve."
