Cameras don’t stop crime, they only make prosecuting them easier.
What is happening in liberal Newark is no surprise, liberalism in it’s attempts to destroy God and replace him with the State are always going to fail because if man won’t be obedient to God, why would they be obedient to the human creation of the State?
For all of the outrage over Carranza et al, they are merely the ones who got publicity, there were more murders then those three over the same time period that the media has been hand wringing over this, yet they hype those deaths and issues “Calls to Action” that really amount to “More failed Govt intervention”.
They never seem to learn do they?
Mostly agree. But changing the crime situation is tough.
First, the city/community really has to want to stop crime. Sounds simple, but isn’t. Everybody has to talk to the cops, and sometimes, testify.
Second, police management needs to be solid. If not, the cops on the beat don’t trust management to get their back so they don’t go all out. Good management gets good cops. Management is not good if it’s politically correct, by the way.
Third, the prosecuting and judicial part of the system has to be good. And energized. Isn’t always.
Fourth, it helps to have a dumping ground, sort of like Prince Georges County outside of DC. In other words, the bad guys need somewhere to go. Usually it’s the next neighborhood. But when you clean up a lot of neighborhoods, they need to have another place.
Dang! Maybe Newark was that place.
