If the police were doing there job they would send some plain clothes
cops down these streets once in a while (armed and with adequate
backup of course). I don't believe in letting criminals rule the
streets.


There are at least three city police stations within a few blocks of
that area, and a Yale police substation nearby, and I'm sure the entire
area is well-patrolled. But that doesn't mean every part of every area
of the city has a police officer on the spot every minute of the day.

What most cities need in their densely populated or commercial areas are
more police officers *in uniform* and on foot.
