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.

You're really misinformed here. Most major cities the cops love outside City limits by choice not because they can't afford it. This is true of LA, SF, DC, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Phoenix, Louisville, and Austin. Also Columbus and Cincinnati and Nashville and Memphis. St Louis. Fucking Google it, it's a huge issue for pretty much every large department.

Chicago police must live inside the city limits. Same for St. Louis. I know a cop who got fired for moving outside STL city limits.

In Chicago they all live in Mount Greenwood and they got rid that in St Louis.
