The fact that the NYP doesn't announce that it's not policing crimes that it should be policing, does not mean that it actually is policing crimes that it should be policing. Again, you can't just help yourself to the claim that the government actually does what it's supposed to do. Nor can you just assume that it must be because of how you expect that people would respond to some hypothetical announcement.

So you'd be totally fine if the NYP made an official announcement: "As of today any crimes perpetrated against Chinatown businesses will not result in law enforcement response." I'm talking in terms of real, concrete actions. You'd genuinely be okay with the government singling out this community and making it clear that it's fair game for criminals to target this community?

  Why are you singling out Chinatown?

    Just as an example. Like I said, you should be totally unfazed by the NYP saying "we won't enforce any crimes against Chinatown businesses" if you truly believe that New York isn't providing any social services.
