LOL…your naiviety is showing. You have officially lost all credibility.
NYC is the Capital of the World. The most notorious thugs in the WORLD are in NYC.
Guess you need a little civics lesson.
There are about 8.3 Million residents in about 300 sq miles speaking about 800 different languages (LA has 3.8 in 500 sq mi). Not only do they have gangs, organized crime and street thugs but they are the #1 TARGET OF TERRORISTS IN THE WORLD. Terrorists didnt crash planes into Universal Studios or Disney Land they went for the WTC’s. On top of that they get about 50 Million visitors a year. There are also many millions who commute in “The City” every day for work. The record low temperature is MINUS 15 degrees and temperatures regularly are well below the record lows in LA. They get about 122 inches of precipitation a year (about 10 times what LA gets). There are 3 very busy international airports within 30 minutes of NYC. It is the international hub of the worlds business and commerce. It is home to 45 Fortune 500 company headquarters. It has a MASSIVE public transportation system that operates 24/7/365.
Being a cop in LA is like a Disneyland Day relative to being one in NYC.
You have absolutely no clue. Spend a week in NYC and get back to me.
