The locals may not defend their neighbourhood themselves. Police will hit them even harder, if they would. Against all European ideals the feudalist principles came back into power.
The Police in arms is judge and executor in one, the dealers are not realy fighting back to come back and the citizen may only look down.
In the medium run the dealers are in the better position ruling an open market and being more flexible. At the point the medication of the Police is outgunned by the drugs of the dealers both sides will use their weapons instead of playing seek and hide off their actual clients turff.
This is when the Shops close down. This is when those in the secured areas coming over to score believe they can buy stocks.
You are mistaken. This time it will be too much blood....
