If you're poor and black in Compton or Watts the LAPD are the enemy and you don't call them, that's why LA became overrun in the first place, if your population doesnt trust you they wont help you.

What post was this supposed to respond to? Because it's some good thoughts, it's just not really relevant to what was being said.
The ideal situation doesn't exist there, as a result they're dealing with the situation that does. LA is not Vancouver, that's why they spend more on cops. Case closed.
