In my experience, the twitter police scanner communities are dominated by racism and general hatred towards cities and city government (excluding police and other rescue).

Is Citizen the same?

The comments on Citizen reports can be pretty terrible. But it seems to be moderated pretty well.

Nextdoor seems to have that same problem.

These apps and communities will always self select for people who are predisposed to see their neighbors and strangers as threatening. Not a lot of people who aren't already scared of their community will download a tool to "monitor" their community.
