Somebody Better Tell Joe Biden

You all may remember that in mid-October, Vice President Joe Biden was in Flint, Michigan, speechifyin’ to police, firefighters, and members of the public. During his no doubt almost presidential eloquence, VP Biden made a dire prognostication about the safety of Flint’s citizens:

“In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city. In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes–just to pick two categories–climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don’t rectify it.”

...

Meanwhile, in South Carolina, one Sherriff is recommending that the citizens arm themselves. In response to an attempted rape in a local part, Sherriff Chuck Wright said:

“Our form of justice is not making it… Carry a concealed weapon. That’ll fix it.”

I like this guy! Another Sherriff Joe Arpaio in the making.

I doubt there is a causal link between number of officers and rapes/murders.

Very rarely does a police officer stop one of these crimes in progress...they come in after the fact and investigate.

Maybe Flint let alot of people out of their jails, maybe they are a sanctuary city for illegals, maybe a gang war broke out.

Why?

[nascarnation]

Flint has been a depressed crime ridden area since the 70s.
It’s sort of a scale model of Detroit with all the same issues.

Biden gets pass after pass in the media.

“It’s just Joe and we all know he’s a doofus. The clown says rediculous stuff all the time.”

Will someone remind him he is the Vice President of the United States of America. You can’t just stand on a stage and make $&*@ up as you go.

Wait....you are a democrat. That’s right. Nevermind. You can say anything you want.

The MSM feels a few plaques on the wall are the same as credibility. Unfortunately for them, the small number of people on the Pulitzer committee doesn't trump a nation of free citizens...
