Same problem as found in Chicago and probably most other large ciites: as long as “the community” hates the cops more than it hates the gangs, anarchy and mayhem will thrive.

Who is "the community"? To a large degree, they are the parents, siblings, cousins, etc of the thugs. They don't want their precious darlings killed, they only want the police to (somehow) get them to stop fighting each other.

But they are fine with their precious thugs robbing and killing people OUTSIDE the community. And therein lies the problem.

My wife watches Family Feud. One question from last night’s show: “What would a mother hate to hear about a woman her son was going to rob?” What kind of family is it where that question might come up?
