It may be different if you're a minority. I live in LA and unfortunately, cops aren't your "freind" here. It's a city where you call 9-11 and either get a busy signal, no answer, or voice-mail. It's a city where the cops are severely understaffed. For some reason, LA is a "unfriendly" place. I've had to call the cops many, many times. Mostly, they don't show up. (Our store was held up by gub oint - the cops took two hours to come). The next time we were robbed, I had the white girl in our store call the cops and tell them the robber wsa black and last seen headed for Beverly Hills. The cops arrived in less than 5 minutes.
So it depend on your experience whether or not cops are perceived to be your "friend" or not.
