Reply to comment by TheSimulacra in BPD: we are severely understaffed. also BPD: we gotta protect people from this puddle by Whoevenknows94

We've seen what happens. People cried about too much police presence in their neighborhoods. So BPD did as they said and lessened patrols. The crime rate then skyrocketed. So then people bitch that BPD isn't doing their jobs. They can't win.

The issue here is that people by and large considered police presence in their neighborhood a bad thing. There is a middle ground between being absent and being considered problematic. I would call that middle ground ‘good policing.’
