Not always. Police were unreliable out here (metro Atlanta) long before BLM and co hurt their feelings by calling attention to rampant police abuse. EMS and firefighters were always prompt and professional, though.

- Kye 4y agoI didn't see any police the last time I was in the rich part of Atlanta.
- 0zemp1c 4y agowell I can tell you here in Austin TX, rich folks from California end up in either Rollingwood or West Lake Hills, and both have their own police forces that are ridiculously overprovisioned (despite the fact that both suburbs have basically zero crime to begin with)
