That's not the point. The OP's article is about skyrocketing crime because of law enforcement cut backs and police not being able to deal with theft, drug use, etc.
From the OP's link..
Two years after Seattle slashed its police budget, local business owners say crime has skyrocketed, with police unable to deal with thefts, homelessness and open-air drug use that plague the city.
It's not as if police are standing in front of your property thwarting criminals it's about getting criminals off the street so the chances of you being robbed is less. Are you unable to think? OR are you just trolling...again?
