I was watching the news this morning, and the City of Newark may have to layoff 263 officers.

NEWARK — If Newark can’t close a $16.7 million deficit in its police department’s budget by November, the administration would have to lay off 263 police officers in a city historically plagued by crime, according to budget documents obtained by The Star-Ledger.

If that actually happens in Newark, the national guard would have to be brought in. Our brothers and sisters in the Newark PD do the best job they can but it's like bailing out the ocean with a dixie cup. It makes me sick how governments like to play politics with Law Enforcement.
