Proliferation of Force


An interesting note about the city is the proliferation of police officers and military or security personnel. Kalishnikovs hang from countless shoulders as you stroll through the streets. But a disparity exists between actual security (or feeling thereof) and this prevalence of arms. There seems to be an inverse proportion in play where the feeling of security actually decreases with the increase of weapons. Is this how the Wild West used to be?
