My guess it would get worse, in 1995-96 in New Orleans the police were escorting the drugs from the airport when they arrived into the city areas for distribution.
When the ‘inmates run the asylum’, as that would be...letting them hire their own police, the overflow of crime would be horrendous and the rest of the city would have more crime than it does now.
That would be like giving your paycheck to your teenagers and expecting them to pay the bills and be responsible, only good until they repossess your home....it is the rare teen who would make good investments not in line with their personal wants.
Good in theory, but bad in application, our government does things like that a lot, and we have an $18 trillion National Debt.

Who knows - maybe it’ll work.
The plan works for almost every group. Protesters will be thrilled - no more cops for them to deal with... Non-blacks will be thrilled with extra police protection in the ‘non-black’ parts of town. Cops will be thrilled having a much safer job. Black community leaders will be thrilled with the extra money. Black criminals will be thrilled with the freedom it affords them to commit crimes. Everyone wins. Well, everyone will be thrilled except the honest black families trying to raise their children in the new killing fields...
