I've lived in Chicago and St. Louis and there are neighborhoods reportedly where you call the police and they say "sorry!" we don't go there! They fear for their lives. In St. Louis there were de militarized zones between neighborhoods where no one lived. Kind of a buffer. Chicago didn't have that. You get a fender bender both guys jump out of their cars with knives. Those were the days. The 60's and 70's.
