Residents of East Pittsburgh expressed concern about violent crime eight months after disbanding its police department.

East Pittsburgh, PA – East Pittsburgh residents gathered on Monday to express their concerns about the rise in violent crime and the lack of police officers patrolling their neighborhood just eight months after they disbanded the East Pittsburgh Police Department.

The East Pittsburgh Borough Council voted to dissolve the borough’s police department in the wake of the officer-involved shooting death of Antwon Rose.

The residents can thank Rose's family for that. Instead of raising their kid not to associate with gangs -- which would have prevented his untimely demise -- they let him do whatever he wanted.  So now that the kid is dead, the parents sued the borough, which can't afford any judgment in that suit against them.   And in turn the borough also can't afford to have its own police department. 

These residents are blaming the wrong people.
