...cope with all this, Los Angeles has the smallest force in the country, relative to population (an estimated 2,840,632) and area (463.6 sq. mi.). The city employs only 1.9 cops per 1,000 residents v. 2.8 in Chicago, 3.2 in New York. Yet man for man, in part because the force is so highly motorized, it is probably one of the most efficient.

...they don't really know what they want-other than violent change. Current protesters and rioters, writes Brzezinski in The New Republic, have much in common with the Luddites or Chartists of 19th century England, or even with the National Socialists and Fascists of this century. Unable to cope with the complexities of the present, many of them try desperately to reassert simplistic values of the past.
