Considering that almost all of Louisville's murders are committed in a very limited area, those areas are certainly no safer than most parts of Detroit. The department is letting those areas turn into a gangland slum. Apparently the Mayor thinks that's the safest thing to do and I really can't blame him for thinking that. Many of the people who live there sue and protest whenever an officer has to use deadly force to protect theirself. There may be a silent majority that wants criminals off their streets, but that's not enough to convince City hall that it's worth the risk. I can't imagine anyone voluntarily living there.
