And all the dogs in the city, their long nightmare over, breathed a sigh of relief.
In Camden, NJ, one of the most corrupt cities in America, it will probably go unnoticed.
What a terrible article. You really have to work to figure out that “this city” is Camden, New Jersey.
That being said, I think that police are largely useless. Cities may end up realizing that the money going to LEOs is not really well spent.
Lauderdale did that years ago and put the whole county under the sheriffs office.not sure think it worked out ok.
All though the mom and pop pd in my town Laud by Sea didnt like it,they had to perform like cops.No more sleeping at 5am behind certain bldgs.
What city? What nation? Have to click thru to find out?
Cities that Liberal politics and their “government plantation society” have destroyed are not able to be “rescued” by government. Every government-run attempt at rescue, like foreign aid, fails, increases dependency and increases local corruption - New Jersey has tried and failed in Camden for decades. It would be cheaper and quicker to condemn the whole area, offer “resettlemnt” funds to the residents to areas of the country with the highest rates of employment, and then start selling it lot-by-lot and at no more cost than what the government actually spent on the program. Then a whole new Camden and a whole new Detroit could gradually be born.
The murder rate is incomprehensible- the town of 70,000 has the same number of homicides that my city of 3 million has.
I didn’t need to click thru the article to know what city they are talking about.
We moved out of Camden in 1997, drug deals were going down right in front of my house. I would stand on my porch with my phone and call in the license plate numbers. Police did not respond. My husband made me stop doing that, he thought either one of us would get shot.
Actually, let the city burn to the ground and start over!
Is journalism so bad now that they can’t even name the city in the title or the opening paragraph?
There has to be some money to be made in tearing down those old buildings and selling materials for salvage. Have the welfare recipients sort the stuff out. Then they’re working and learning something useful. Those empty buildings just look like defeat to me. Tear them down. An empty lot would be better.
As long as the animals don’t learn to swim across the Delaware, just let Camden be Camden.
There is no development in Camden, and the homes that are there are falling into shambles. It’s pretty bad in most parts. I would think that left to continue, Camden will simply disappear within a generation, since there won’t be anywhere left to live and nobody will develop there. Perhaps this move will speed up the process.
This is the first sign that Camden can no longer afford the Union corruption. If they can see it in Camden Maybe the rest of America see it and end Union tyranny. They could start with Teachers and follow up with a big dump on SEIU.
How long before all the cop haters of FR move there, I wonder?
(Not that I’m a big fan door-kicking, dog killing type cops, but they’re likely to be more help than hippies or gangsters...)
