Camden dissolved their city police and brought in county police - a much large force - some improvement but still high crime city.
The other ‘city’ had 250 residents and could not afford its own police so they too used the county police - no crime area and still no crime area
These are ‘fool ya’ news pieces; they are true initially, but the actual truth lies in the details.
Murder rates and shootings in LA, Chicago and New York City (especially Brooklyn and the Bronx) are increasing greatly in the past three weeks. Almost all go unpunished. The police are not stupid or suicidal. They are simply not going into minority communities to investigate or arrest. Some of the killings are revenge killings of people who have murdered or stole. Uniformed cops don’t even wish to accompany the medical examiners or coroners to collect the bodies. This is de facto “defunding the police”. These communities will live with lawlessness, thug rule and vigilantism. Depopulation and economic ruin follows.
NPR, which should be defunded

It could have been — many times. But the Republicans failed/refused to do it. They will NEVER defund this leftist propaganda outlet.
We really do need a new party that actually stands for something. The GOP is worthless.
They just replaced the city police with county police is all.
Both cities are more like Somalia or Zimbabwe than American. Camden population peaked in 1950 and has steadily declined to what the population near 1900 levels.
