Perfect. We need this everywhere.

Most folks need the government for NOTHING besides paving roads and clearing the snow.

Let´s do without for a few months. Sort it out. Gonna be very little we can do without.

Camden is a horrifying place. The roads aren´t paved, there are no street lines, the traffic lights don´t work. The roads are littered with garbage. Old factories are in ruins, row houses are dilapidated, near every storefront is boarded up, but the streets are eerily quiet, like a ghost town.

Prefect way to make people who do not live in the city, pay for the city´s services. Look for this to happen in many more places. Share the wealth. That will teach you to try an out run crime or bad schools.

Seems reasonable. When things aren´t working sometimes you fix and sometimes you replace.

Predictably the unionized city police oppose it and instead recommend more of the same.

That stance tells you things are working for the city police. Notice there seem to be two police unions, Too much is never enough.

County policing sounds more sensible to me. I hope is improves matters.

Camden probably voted 105% for Obama. What else matters?

Life in Camden becomes more and more like that described in Hobbes´s "Leviathan": "...poor, nasty, brutish, and short". Look for more as Obamaland unfolds.

After reading the article I did a You Tube video search on Camden and was actually shocked at the Third World situation there! Black society has become what only be described as feral!

Many southern states have County Sheriff Departments which do all the policing. Cities only need a minimal force for jails, courts, etc. And some of those are Marshalls.

Not sure if it will work up there in Yankee land, where they know how to do everything better than us dumb hicks.

Example - Obama wins northeaster states.
Obama looses big time in Georgia.

What Paul248 (#3) said.

The city of Camden is not shrinking; it´s about to engulf the surrounding county.
Taxes, crime and corruption drove business out of Camden, and it will do the same for the county.

So who´s supposed to care?

If it is a county police force, the whole county pays. The city of Camden is off the hook. Unfortunately, my kids live in Camden County. They already pay the double flush tax. Camden residents don´t pay their sewer bills so the county residents have to pay extra for the non-payers,

Pretty soon the Obama Bailout Ambulance will be racing back and forth, coast to coast....

Propping up the burgeoning brown majority with the money from the white earners.

The new normal.

#2, it hasn´t changed that much from the 50s.

Not going to happen. Already the Nation´s fattest ventriloquist´s dummy is ready to speak the words Hussein will feed him. FTA "Gov. Christie has long expressed his support for the new force, but the governor has also asked Camden to start weaning itself from state aid" No way the Union Lamprey is going to abandon a nice fat fish. Do nothing cops will be retained, perhaps given a raise, and crime will continue to rule the streets. Life in Obamaville.

Were I Camden, I would tell that POS RINO Christie that we, Camden will stop suckling at the teat of the State as soon as HE stops sucking at the teat, and groveling at the feet of the FEDERAL Gov´t.
