ncs lives in a VERY economically mixed area. The truth is that all of LA is underserved by the police force. I didn't feel particularly safer in my old neighborhood near West Hollywood, though there was much less gang activity there. Sketchy stuff happens everywhere in LA and criminals know that the police are likely to be slow to respond. 911 is, in fact, a joke. I actually am rather impressed that they managed to catch the guy as he fled in this case. Too much bad stuff goes unsolved. Property crimes are given almost no attention at all by the police because they are spread way too thin to handle it all.
Makes a person consider moving to Santa Monica. Just for the police force.
