The big one for me is when cops are around and people are doing minor crimes (smoking weed, littering, minor speeding) and the cops ignore it. That means the cops are there for major crimes and I don’t want to be around that…
Same in bar/club areas of any big city I’ve been in. They’re there to stop violence not nitpick petty crimes because if they did the latter, their whole night would be wasted on stuff that the prosecutor probably wouldn’t even bother taking to trial.
I don’t particularly hate those areas, I’ve been in some very dangerous areas for large portions of my life. That’s just a sign I need to keep my senses up and be careful.

And how many times have you been stabbed or shot?
Zero.

Vancouver has the lowest violent crime rate in the past 23 years. They’re doing better than most places
Doesn’t mean its not full of cops ignoring mentally ill drug addicts doing their thang
