Adbusters: Blackspot the Police

[enough]

3. Several years ago, our Township Supervisors voted to disband our local police force

and abolish the taxes that paid for it. The police force was a little more than 50% of the annual budget.

There was some outcry, which tended to go along class lines. The township is a formerly rural area that has been overrun by fairly high end development. The old-time locals don't care about the police, and the folks in the McMansions care a lot.

We're still supposedly covered by the State Police (PA), but they are stretched increasingly thin all over the state. Essentially, we don't have any cops. Works for me.
