You overestimate police possibilities just take into your mind that there is something around 100 000 police people to take care of 38 000 000 population of whole country.

So yes your best option for not getting robbed/mugged is not to walk in the dark alleys unless you really need to. There is not going to be a policeman in every dark alley.

Parent poster omitted important part, so before jumping to conclusions, read article first: "They carried out a series of raids this past spring, which netted dozens of high-powered weapons and led to the arrests of 35 people who face almost 500 charges, including the attempted murder of Carr."

What do you want them to do? Give her 24/7 security? They are telling her that if there are people against her she should be cautious. It's hard for police anywhere to prevent something that hasn't happened yet.

In what world are we living that protecting an innocent citizen is portrayed as a crazy idea? I don't mind if they give her 24/7 security, if they watch 24/7 people who they suspect want to harm her, whatever. IMHO police #1 role should be protecting the people.

I would also argue that in the long term this should pay off. Protect the lawyer, stop crime organizations, save much money later because less security needed. Don't protect the layer == more crime == more future expenses.

I can’t think of a better use of tax money.
