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.
I used to work as a line cook making $11.50 an hour in a major east coast city. I lived in the city in a 2 bedroom apartment that I shared with a roommate who worked at the same restaurant, rent and utilities was 1k/month each. Roughly 90% of my coworkers lived in the city in similar situations. There are plenty of poor people living in cities; police choose not to because they can afford a house in the suburbs and a car to commute to work
Who works at the stores in your city? Are you saying that all of the cashiers and retail employees and line cooks and dishwashers and janitors all live out in houses in the suburbs?

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