We're the Only Ones Getting in on the Action Enough

Residents of this suburb claim they have resorted to lynching because police do not take appropriate action against alleged criminals. Citizens are said to have caught criminals and handed them in to the police, only to have the alleged wrongdoers put back on the streets -- where some have apparently harassed and even murdered those who took them to police stations in the first place.

There are also indications that certain members of the police have aided and abetted criminals, renting out their guns and even participating in crimes. Officers have been caught perpetrating assaults in money exchanges and shops. Recently, police apparently gunned down two colleagues who were escorting a civilian carrying a large sum of money to the border with Swaziland. The unidentified police officers then made away with the money, and have yet to be found.
Where do these "Only Ones" think they are--New Orleans?
