Must suck to see only the negatives in anything.

I expect and anticipate better policing everywhere. If they choose to start with downtown, that's OK too. Maybe getting one area right is necessary before you can fix everything. In NYC, Bratton started with the subways, if I recall correctly. Turned out OK.

And I'm sure some people complained.
