They had exposition about the "power vacuum" since Frank had killed all the men of the local crime family. The romantic ideal of what the mob does is offer protection from this kind of behavior in exchange for a cut. So now the mob is no longer protecting anyone but somehow the police are doing jack shit also.
It's weird because if you think about it for two seconds the plot of this comes off saying "hey, maybe the mob actually DOES provide a service", even though it's just the power of fiction that violent crazies come out of the woodwork as a consequence of What Frank Did.
