    In this scenario though there is a media frenzy so it plays into everything heavily. You got money coming in from the outside so police feel the need to defend themselves on the world stage. No doubt, though, that horrible shit happens every day that gets overlooked. Thinking of Bianna Taylor getting shot by the police while sleeping in her own home. Just recently cops in Missouri shot a baby and her mother on a domestic disturbance call.

    Police either get lucky and solve a crime in the first 48 hours (if they are even trying) or they move on. Otherwise they are out on the streets bullying people trying to give the illusion of order.

    Truthfully though. We give them too much responsibility. Every emergency dial 911? Like from heart attacks to killing sprees and your going to send the local high-school rejects in?
