| #6 They used to regularly shoot at police, ambulances and firemen responding to incidents in Chicago's Cabrini Green neighborhoods. Area became a no-go zone. But that was decades ago. Things have changed, right? |

| #4 Many areas no go zones now. Even before the apocalypse Philly had no go zones. Local chap did bail bond work on the side had his truck stolen. He located it with GPS and contacted the local police. They said too high crime area to go. When they go they must have at least two officers. So he went and stole his truck back and upon leaving told the officers he had got his truck back. You did what?. We lost a cruiser in that area ourselves. Now that's what I call hutzpah or what others call chutzpah. |

| #3 Well at least Portland is issuing them protective vests. In Metro-Atl, the Firefighters and EMS staff that frequently work Gang Banger areas have to quietly purchase their own. |

| #2 government defunded police & abolished gun violence reduction team You can call the gun violence reduction effort a 100% complete success. No weapons expressed a desire to commit violence or were found to on their own. |
