You must have been thinking of Memphis, Tennessee or Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Albuquerque seemed alright when I went there, though admittedly there was an eclipse going on at the time which may have influenced my opinions.
They don’t want to protect us bro. That’s why everyone hates the LAPD. Imagine being the victim of a crime and being laughed out of the station. Or getting robbed, and waiting 45 minutes for someone who literally doesn’t give a shit to show up.
Also, as someone pointed out, the only thing they do about gangs is form their own.
Want to get rid of security cameras? This is how.
I don't know, this sounds like what they do in London.
Edit: I'm not saying that's a good thing, I'm saying it didn't get rid of cameras. It increased their numbers vastly.
do they have access to private video cameras in London or are those all government cameras?
