G1R2,

The situation in urban America is becoming grim. It's becoming more and more like a combat environment. Headlines today from one of the largest cities, Houston, TX. Back in the 80's, Houston was still a cowtown coming up. I reckon it has arrived in the New Millennium:

Allow me to recall from memory a little publicized event before the dawn of the internet circa 1986 in Calumet City, Il. Two black cops took a young white man to a corner downtown whereupon he was released from police custody after dark. He was found beaten to death less than two hours later.

Like I said, grim.
