#1 a direct result of the decline of our system of laws. in the 60's it became popular for police to let the petty stuff slide so they 'could focus on the big stuff' and better use 'limited manpower'. the theory was that they would catch more of the hard core felons and make streets safer. the total surprise as the petty crooks got bolder and became hard core felons at a much higher rate has put us where we are now. these punks feel that they wont get caught because the police are not interested in catching them anymore. the police wait till it is some outrageous act. the police in most cities have come to accept a certain level of this crap and will continue to wait till they 'cross the line' and public attention forces them to do something.

#3 i believe this is why NYC was going to pot before Rudy Giuliani took office. Sometimes it pays to sweat the small stuff.

#4 why was Kelly telling the gang members too watch taking that $20 because it might get them 20 years?? Sounds like he was trying too protect the gang members instead of the ppl being robbed.

#5 the police wait till it is some outrageous act

Which is usually someone doing the job that the police won't. They'll label it vigilante justice and go after the individual with more force than the crooks who execute crime because its a threat to their power.
