Don’t need cops to patrol vacant lots.

They should use either a RoboCop or an Enforcement Droid 209 (ED-209) for that type of urban pacification duty.

They need to hire more inner-city forest rangers.

Would you be a cop in Detroit?
Maybe for $150,000 per year, a full automatic weapon, and an armored vehicle.

That’s what Bill Clinton did. Well, okay, without the inner-city part. LOL

From the article:
1920: 897 officers population of 993,678
1930: 3,141 officers population of 1,568,662
1950: 3,548 officers population of 1,849,568
1970: 3,973 officers population of 1,511,482
1990: 3,312 officers population of 1,027,974
2000: 3,139 officers population of 951,270
2015: 1,590 officers population of 719,777
So actually they have more cops per capita now than they did in 1920.
Due to decades of Democrat governance, however, the demographics of their population are completely different now.

Maybe for $150,000 per year, a full automatic weapon, and an armored vehicle. And a no questions policy if I have to use the full auto? Mebbe. With an unlimited supply of ammo and M-4 I think one cop could do a lot for Detroit.

I’d like to see a demographics and crime stats comparison every decade from 1920 to present. I’m pretty sure I know what the analyis will reveal...
To: Falconspeed
Top priorities: guns and narcotics. Detroit police took 10% pay cut.
How many cops do the bad guys own?..
Unless the cops ARE the bad guys..
Detroit... you got bad, badder, badest..

Nope. Detroit has some great places to live. Give those to me. You won’t even notice.

I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209 - renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years... Who cares if it worked or not?

I believe Detroit was about 90% White in 1920. The influx of Blacks coming up from the south en masse began in the 1920s. They once encompassed over 1 million White residents (from the mid 1920s until about 1960). As of 2010, the White population was 7.8% or only about 55,000.
