Camden's Crime Rate Is At A 50-Year Low, Says Commissioner | MSNBC
And they never had Trump.
That’s no coincidence.
We all need Trump back ASAP. Biden and the Democrats destroy the USA
I have never seen an administration hate America and it’s people more than the Biden Adm. and I’m not even in the US.
Giuliani License To Practice Law In New York Has Been Suspended!
@Jezballz Is you don’t live in this country, keep quiet because you didn’t experience Charlottesville and the Insurrection under Trump’s leadership.
@John Wilharm the guy who dramatically lowered the crime rate when he was mayor?
@frog mann Trump and Republicans rioted and would have murdered elected officials. Projection much?
This is so important
Meanwhile in Democrat run Chicago…..
Giuliani License To Practice Law In New York Has Been Suspended
@B Taylor Meanwhile in Portland Oregon…..
@Conservative Interrupted Maybe you can get the proud boys to leave the city peacefully.
Wait what: Camden is a democratic stronghold, its right across from Philly , another Democratic stronghold. Your comment makes no sense.
@Fritzroy Walgreens closes 17 locations in San Francisco(Democrat) because of heavy shoplifting promoted by terrible Democrat policies.
Amazing new thought…cooperation, bipartisanship, training. Huh? Thank you those in charge!
That’s because they didn’t have Trump to destroy their country.
If they had Trump they too would have an Insurrection.
yeah right. the violent crime rate has sky rocketed since dems took charge. joe potatoe even stated that fact in the last few days. Libs 2020-defund the police. Libs 2021-send in the guard. what a bunch of blind pawns. God is watching and taking names..
Exhaust all options before using violence .
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you .
As a Black man this is all most people of color want! Be fair, honest and hold yourselves accountable as a police dept. No need to “defund” the police but put more extensive time, effort and resources into the PROPER training and working with whatever community you’re in to build the trust…Props to Camden NJ 💪🏾✊🏾
tragic that this approach is getting 1/100th of the attention of all others…
excuse me, all others that all want to go the giulliani route!!
tough on crime is a bumper sticker. communities coming first is crime prevention and it’s built on those who can sacrificing to just listen to those struggling. then committing resources to THEIR needs, that’s it!!
but take a guess on which way things will go, and sure first two don’t count!!
Good on Camden Police and community.
I grew up in camden in the fairview section. this shows that investing in training for the police, can and does work. they still have a long way to go, but they are on the right track.
Apply this to Chicago….over 800 murders in one month!!!
Lmao lies
A model for the rest of America rather than using a big stick before asking questions.
“Historically”, Stephanie? Not during the WW I & II years, when the Navy shipyard, RCA/Victor and Campbell’s Soup were the primary places of employment for the city’s residents. Know your history, Steph. Take away a primary source of employment, and blight occurs if you don’t replace it, or assist people in relocating to areas where their skillsets can be utilized. That’s what occurred in Camden and many other US major cities.
I heard they still had gang problems back then, pitting the “Popeyes” (shipyard toughs), the “Victorolas” (RCA punks) and the “Chicken Noodles” (Campbells dirtbags, usually shortened to the “Chicks” or “Noods”) against each other in pitched battles over turf and beef ‘n barley concentrate.
@stephen ashton I reckon that’s a pun, but no, there were no gangs then.
Just having a laff. Imagining burly wartime longshoremen taunting wimpy Campbell’s soupers. An RCA guy steps in and spins the latest hit platter to ease tensions and get everyone dancin’ the jitterbug.
(Was the jitterbug a 1940s thing? Or was it the frug?)
This is so much trash. Lol
We spent trillions on wars but honestly cops like these that do God’s and Jesus Christ’s works should get compensated well. And the corrupt ones go to jail.
Democrat run cities are the most prosperous places in America to live in.
And 72 percent of the usa economy!
I remember when Camden was a open air drug market.
Same. Camdens had some dark days. Im glad things are getting better, finally.
