My thoughts exactly. It's the oldest trick in the politicians bag -- when facing yet another "shortfall" (do they EVER have enough?) the first thing they threaten to cut is police and fire -- the only two parts of the enormously bloated and wasteful gummint that anyone cares about.

Call their bluff. Make 'em fire all the cops. They won't do it, cuz they will never be re- elected if they do. This might actually force them to cut all the payola jobs that infest every government in America.

 

The city of Oakland did the same thing. I think Oakland,California is worse then any other city.

 

i live right around u


were surrounded by these gangbangers

trenton
camden
newark
pennsaulken is now a ****hole from what i gather
i think atlantic city was laying off guys. the gangerbangers made t-shirts that said "D-Day + the date when all the cops were getting layed off and all their names"


camden is a joke. there is no revenue at all and everyone lives off uncle sam. now the bloods have put hits out on cops since their homeboy was arrested for executing that cop last week

 

meh, philly makes Gary IN look like a high class suburb.

 

Ah getting rid of the Public Police forces is a chance to get away from socialism.

We can all hire private security forces if we want protection! Privatization at its best!!!

 

I use to work for an alarm co most of my work was in Philadelphia Camden Trenton Reading Chester City and alot of other places that were not so nice to work in. When i first started with that co me and the guy who was training me were sent to camden to do an install no big deal right. Wrong as soon as we got there the trainer said no matter what we are out of hear at 5pm i don't care if the job is no were near done we are gone in the truck heading home at 5. I was shocked when he said that. I mean its really bad that you need a look out when trying to unload your tools and equipment. Philadelphia is not much better tho my buddy who us to work for the same co got jumped in Philadelphia just walking back to his truck, he was lucky tho he fought back and was able to walk away or should i say run with his tools and money.

 

The only people that will be happy about the police force being cut will be the criminals!! The law abiding people get screwed again!!

 

DEC 5TH 2010............Camden with police

 

If politicians push. We will push back.

 

Kingfish... obviously you didn't read the next article before making a decision not to visit Camden.... this will change your mind....

(I bet some of the laid off cops were glad not to be in the station )

 

It's ok if they cut funding for the police, fire fighters and teachers, but they'd better not cut welfare, food stamps or any other entitlement programs.

I agree this is about taxes. This is part of the grand scheme.

 

From the pic on that site, that would be another reason not to visit. That is one I don't think you want to see naked.

 

Anot'r time dem dam dere unions cawzin truble!!! Get rid dem unions and we be guud here!!! Dem unionsers ar all overpaad andwe nos it!!!!!

 

x2!!
