Yes it was safer because every one was afraid of the police! We ran when we saw the "red car" coming. The police would beat black people and poor looking white people in the street.

Maybe some of these wild kids were raised (or not raised)by parents who were beaten or abused by police and have no "love" for anyone especially cops.
