its alot like that over here.
in syndey when they had the redfern riots the governement decided 2 declare "the block" as a problem area and setup a special task force and so on 2 battle the crime and drugs in the area, the reason that there was a riot in redfern bout a year ago now was cos a young teenager was being chased by police cos he was involved in a theft of some sort and crashed his pushbike and impaled himself on a fence, also bout another 6-9 months later same shit happened in the same area only this time cops were chasin a stolen car, the car crashes and a passenger dies and the dead guys friends riot for a few days cos the police shouldnt have been chasing him.

new years nite just gone in the country town that i live in, over the other side of town, the side that ya dont go near (they dont call it the bronx and vegemite valley over there for nuthin) and a gruop of young fullas get bored with their nite and decide 2 turn agaisnt the police bashing 3-4 officers and over turnin their cop cars and burnin em, yet this dont get a mention in the national news.
