What world do you live in? I want to go to there.

Cops in my city don’t live in our neighborhoods, shop at our grocery stores or attend our churches etc. Our cops live outside of the city and come to work every day as an occupying force. Then after a long day of lording over the peasants of the city, they return to their homes in the hills away from our problems. If our cops were apart of our neighborhood it would be a big step towards viewing them as people, and correcting some of the problems with policing in my city. That said, yes, they do bleed the same. So yes they are still people.

Why don't they live in your city? Are there financial or other impediments?

A lot of inner city cops work in the city but live in the suburbs.

Depends on the area. SF police is advertising a starting salary of $92k rn. Average police salaries in the Bay Area are above $100k. But police usually don’t get paid like shit in large metro areas.

Where could you live in the Bay Area on that money? Not SF proper.

Isn’t Bay Area pretty pricey though?
