My little home town here is having a financial crisis and has cut back drastically on our police department. We used to see the police constantly and it was always reassuring. We had no crime. Now after the cut backs we rarely see our police. We've had two shootings here in the past six months, which is unheard of for us. The jewelry store was broken into last month, and this morning the smoke shop was broken into.
While this might not be a big deal for most, it is for us. I miss the police.
I think when your younger you fear the police, and then when your old you want the security they offer.
