Camden, NJ braces for deep police, fire cuts

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - Yet another crisis is upon this burdened city, among the most impoverished and crime-ridden in the country.

Deep layoffs of city workers go into effect on Tuesday - cutting up to 383 jobs, or one-fourth of the city's employees.

The exact number depends on whether public workers' unions make last-minute concessions. In any case, the cuts are likely to be deep - and could be a blow to the quality of life in a city where more than half the 80,000 residents, mostly black and Hispanic, live in poverty.

Worst case, the layoffs could slash half the police force and one-third of the fire department for this city just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. Practically every other job in the city is likely to be affected.

Most of the police are out-dated and no longer needed...they will be replaced by cameras and drones.

Communities will realize they can't afford law enforcement and it's pensions that go along with it and begin to contract the work out to private companies with payment being made by allowing them too get a cut of fines, just like they do with all the red light cameras that get installed.

Fixed that for ya,

It's called "the take", this includes a cut of the crack profits too.

It has already started when they allowed private companies to install and handle the red light cameras.

Next will be something that seems non threatening like parking enforcement which will quickly begin to include code enforcement.

The next step possibly would be traffic enforcement and after that within 2 years you will find companies such as Blackwater offering their services to the highest bidder.


Of course by then we won't have many rights to privacy including our homes so they can run their thug business with very few restrictions

The cops are already using in some places , scanners and cameras on their cars , to drive down the street and scan license plates, to find expired registrations and for warrants

[Awoke]

It's OK. In upstanding areas like Newark, the citizens will police themselves.

I keep on wondering, what if you and say 10 other guys and their families bought up a city block on the cheap, fortified it, fenced it in, and started making it nice? Then you would have a nice area for low cost; there are decent jobs in NJ and near Philly.

[Awoke]

Would you really want to live like that? In an area where your wife may need to pull out a shotty just to protect the Children while you're at work?
Screw that. Head into the bush. Let them have the concrete jungle.

[Twisted Titan]

You will be demonized by the locals who will demand to share in your 'Prosperity" and if that dont do the local gubbermint will tax and regulate the sheeet out of you to pay for the proloeteriat and the palm greasing schemes

Not worth it

The utility easements would cost'em too much, I'm sure.

TT you are no doubt right. A group of people would fix everything up nice, then the others who did nothing but sit around all day drinking malt likker and chasing 16 year old Mexican girls, would scream how it is unfair that they have to live in hovels and "they" get to live in a nice place.

BTW rundown, middle class area of Philly near the Betsy Ross Bridge, called Bridesburg, still quite safe ... all Irish and Polish in that area. Opposite side of the river, same economy, same opportunity - scary place even in the middle of the day.
