Depending on people’s age, it would be very surprising to hear anyone advocate for more police. Police generally are seen as the folk who take the fun out of things. So until you start getting affected by their absence you don’t advocate for them.
I’ve lived in many kinds of neighborhoods, from one where there were six murders in a school year to one where there wasn’t one in living memory. At one time I was poor enough that taking the bus was a luxury and I’d rather walk and save the change. I’ve met and known lots of kinds of people.
