I don't usually agree with Rob but I have to say that communities really vary as far the police dept goes. I have lived in many places where yes I would call the police if there was a problem. However, after 17 years here I would not. They shoot people & ask questions later all the time no matter what part of town you live in. And yes we live in a nice neighborhood. I too do not venture into bad neighborhoods. A woman called police because her Mom was suicidal & when they got there both went outside & the cops shot the woman that called in the leg & then killed her Mom. This kind of crap happens all the time.
