I believe also the police have no duty to respond based on a court ruling. Basically the entity we are supposed to rely on in the worst situations has no SLA and we have no recourse if they don't come and help.

I live in the PNW, I've been to the area. If spray paint on a police building is lawless anarchy, alright, I guess, but my best friends girlfriend works literally across the street from the police station depicted, and you know what? It's fine. These stories are bullshit meant to rile you up because fear gets clicks.

Some folks have a different opinion, but these folks seem to be afraid anytime they see a houseless person, or a needle in an alley way, and neither of those problems have been solved with the ever increasing police budgets, just pushed it to a slightly different area, where the outrage starts all over again. There's a problem, sure, but the police ain't the tool to solve them, no matter how much we would like for complex problems to be solved with simple solutions.

Christiania has been operating in Copenhagen for generations and that's one of the wealthiest and healthiest cities on the planet.
