Imagine what happens when a large city has high poverty and black demographics, and cuts are made to the police force.

Shocking to think, isn't it?

I'd like to point something out to you all.

Just as bailing out bad corporations is a very stupid thing to do.

Creating a system of social welfare that bails out the under-achieving/non-achieving flunkies is equally stupid.

Rich neighborhoods are hiring security firms, now is this because the top 1% are worried about Occupy protests? Or is it because the City of Detroit is unable to actually bankroll an effective police force, with crushing unemployment and rising crime and poverty, of it's mostly black populace.

The fact that a great sum of Detroit's poverty stricken populace is effectively Government welfare dependents, certainly isn't helping things. That the City has screwed itself and lost it's position as a desirable manufacturing base, is definitely not helping.

I just want you to think about the correlations that can be drawn in social and economic policies from Detroit to America at large.
