I think a certain group in the St Louis area doesn't recognize their city, or at least a portion of their city, could become the next Detroit if they don't mind their manners.
The cycle begins. The cops will leave the area, crime will jump up, the residents will beg for the cops to patrol more, some other criminal gets shot, the fools riot, the cops leave the area.... Maybe it's time the cops just don't come back, or they patrol but just let things happen. These groups want to live in a wild jungle, let them.
