It is pretty ironic we were in a similar situation in Baltimore not long ago. First the cops were racist and picking on black people and just wanted to throw them all in jail(or kill them) for nothing. The the cops backed off and stayed away because they didn't know what to do and didn't want to be called racist for policing the neighborhoods. What happend? They then wanted the cops back and claimed they weren't doing their job because they didn't care about black people
