*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN

[HairOfTheDog]

Sometimes I feel like the whole world has gone mad & I like leaving the farm less and less these days. I'm not so paranoid that I believe danger lurks around every corner but this isn't the world I grew up in.

I know what you mean.

If it's any comfort, US violent crime rates have been decreasing across the board in the decades since we were kids. We just have much more exposure to crime across the country and across the globe via media these days.

Still, there's too much of it and it is concerning.
