I know a few cops. They tend to live near other cops, like living near other cops.
Going after a family living in a cop “enclave” would be a massive, massive mistake.
See the bar holdup scene in the old Chuck Norris movie Code of Silence for reference.
So hopefully the Wilsons bought their house in just such and area. That, coupled with having family nearby would make sense and probably the safest option.
Four cops live on the same block as my son. Safe neighborhood.
Do you know that scene in “code of silence,” was a true story.
It happened at a ‘cop bar’ called Mikes located on Webster Ave on the north side of Chicago. A place where Denis Farina used to hang out at after work.
