Poor communities that cannot afford private security must rely on law enforcement for protection.
Tay Harrison lives in a residential section of Atlanta’s East Side. During the past few months, he’s noticed armed security guards outside businesses and gas stations downtown in more metropolitan areas. However, in his neighborhood, which struggles with crime, there’s not that kind of protection.
“We don’t have private security around us. You gotta look out for yourself,” Harrison tells theGrio. He lives in Atlanta Police Department’s Zone 6, and in that area, property crimes, burglaries and car thefts today!
