Christie said that for the third straight year, the murder rate in Newark has risen as has the number of handguns recovered.

"The rise in violence and unlawful gun possession corresponds directly to a substantial increase in documented gang activity beginning in 1999," he said.

Actually, the rise in violence and unlawful gun possession corresponds directly to a substantial reduction (more like a complete elimination) of vehicle searches on the New Jersey Turnpike. We can't have any "racial profiling" in this state, now can we?

My sentiments exactly.

Since the end of the searches on the Turnpike 4 police officers in the area have been shot to death. A woman in East Orange, then 2 detectives in NYC who were ambushed and another woman in Fairlawn.
