No they knew. It’s just that riots don’t happen that often so they were willing to take the risk and the opportunity cost since other Americans wouldn’t do it.

how would they have known? they were counting on soldiers to save them but were pretty much left to dry. it was only after they started shooting back at looters (who were also armed) it sank in.

Because it’s well known that cops usually take longer/don’t respond in bad neighborhoods.
