Gang members hold positions at ‘highest levels’ of LA Sheriff’s department
What is this phenomenon -- is it the "bystander effect" or something else?Pretty much everyone knows that the LA Sheriff's Department has been heavily infiltrated by gangs like the Compton Executioners. The phenomenon is extensively well-documented in the press and it even has a Wikipedia entry.But … no one cares?The federal government's Department of Justice just ignores it? ( https://raskin.house.gov/2022/2/chairman-raskin-rep-gomez-ur... )At the state and county level, people just kind of ignore it?And individuals can't do much about it, since after all the state has a monopoly on violence?I mentioned the deputy gangs to a family member a while back and they were baffled that nobody is doing anything about it. But who would?What is the word for "assuming someone else is going to do something about that, but there is no one"?
