If people aren't panicked, they wouldn't elect panic-pandering politicians, so there must always be a panic — crime, drugs, commies, libruls, etc.

I think that's a sentiment that's bred from the outrage based news cycle. Our local police just caught a pedo in our neighborhood in 2 days (and we found out they were watching that person about 6 hours after the initial call to the police).

Police still do great work and a ton to protect and serve. That stuff doesn't make national news cycles and it doesn't sell articles.
