Two U.S. Cities Dismantled Their Police Departments. You Won't Believe What Happened Next...

The fringe left, to include adviser to Joe Biden Rep. AOC, is emboldened and fixed on the notion that defunding police or at least dismantling their agencies and starting over is going to fix everything. The idea seems to have sprung up out of nothing and purely as an overreaction to the tragic police killing of George Floyd. But it didn’t. Two U.S. cities, both on the east coast, have taken some form of this approach to reforming their police departments. For a variety of reasons, the two cities have not experienced the same outcome.

First, Camden, New Jersey. Despite a national downward trend in violent crime, Camden saw violence spiking. Excessive force complaints against police officers were also on the rise. NPR, which should be defunded, reports that Camden dissolved its police force and started over. And it seems to have worked.

The City of Camden is policed by Camden County police. And is still crime-ridden.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

According to this essay, the two subject cities went back to the OLD way of policing, what used to be standard before the unions and bureaucrats got involved with their contracts and quotas. Enhanced screening for hiring, and performance measured by outcome rather than by quotas.

Did the writer leave something out?

If this article is true, and there is going to be any police reform, this is the way it should be done.

One if the two cities in the article, Baltimore, still has a Police Department.  I have no idea what point the writer is trying to make here.
