Good morning, this is gonna be long but here’s why you have to stop using Camden, NJ as an example of police being defunded. I found it on IG at /jenny.jlee but it’s worth posting here
I have to admit I was a little shocked seeing Camden in that infographic being shared
This happens a lot with SCHOOL SYSTEMS in NJ-it’s considered a failure so the state takes over. But it can also happen with the police force.
Camden is like 1984 George Orwell level surveillance
RIDING. BICYCLES. WITHOUT. BELLS???? And the excessive force complaints doubled.
Now I wonder how their police budget compares to their public schools budget?
Camden is not a success story.
Symbolically getting rid of a police force just to install a surveillance state with more cops isn’t what we want. Watch what they do!
