At the most basic level, cities that can't afford to pay more for cops get the ones they deserve. If you're a good cop, do you stay in Oakland or take a job in (e.g.) Kensington? Let's not even get into the whole social-conditions-as-the-basis-for-unrest stuff that conservatives are deploying as an excuse for fuck-ups in Iraq.
