shootings. well, i think what these terrible tragedies, particularly so close together, underscore to our nation as well as reminding our officers is what an inherently, dangerous and stressful profession policing is. yes, it is becoming more difficult for a variety of reasons. let s talk about what happened just last week where over 100 police officers in camden, new jersey, laid off. that s a high crime ridden area. but now for many who live and call the city of camden home, they have little protection. can this rash of violence be attributed to the lack of funding we re seeing around the country? i don t flow if this particular rash of violence can be attributed to the cuts which have recently been implemented but i can tell you for a fact that ultimately they will result in increased crime around our country. what happened in camden is at variance with common sense.
