He did say violent crime, not just homicide. But like I said, that could include drunken fist fights. It's why anecdotes are more important than percentages and raw numbers on this small a scale. Statistics can make anything seem scarier than it really is, and isolated incidents blow up into seemingly huge percentages. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Hah, okay, I stand corrected, I forgot that one. And yeah....every crime statistic I looked at said 0 for 2013, but it wasn't any source I'd consider authoritative, just crappy real estate valuations. |

Apparently the new mayor is a Republican, while the old mayor is a Democrat.

Town next to me had the same Mayor fro m WWII up through the late 80's when he finally died......the corruption was legendary, even in Hudson County (Pure Democrat)..the subsequent mayors havent been much better, just a tad more circumspect about it...still democrat controlled. |

If I was a taxpayer or one of the business owners, I'd surely be pissed at anybody that flushed the city down the drain like that. I doubt there will be much sympathy when some folks try to find work in town.

Samll town politics. It really does not matter how long they've been there, honesty is pretty damn scarce in all of them. It was almost cult-like with this guy...Nobody got hired for ANYTHING By that town without a personal interview. The really scary part is that in the corrupt Cesspool that is Hudson County he was a small fish. The only saving grace for MY Town was that we were essentially on our own from the rest of the County, so the rot stayed out once we got rid of it in the early 80's (Mayor Councilmen and Police Chief all arrested for corruption). When the NJSP came to take the chief the LAST thing they expected was the majority of the PD giving them a standing ovation as they led him out. By the time I started in 87 things had gotten a whole lot better. |

Bigger thing to look at is, not the cops. Cops come and go. When the city attorney AND the shit plant operator both pop smoke, THAT's a clue. Either she is swooping in to clean up a buncha good-ol-boy nonsense, or she is going to obama that municipality, R or not.  Sounds like some wisdom in here |

If they were all on duty at once, they could respond to any call in under 2 minutes ON FOOT. I did just read somewhere that at least a couple of them were reserves, though, which means the chief's buddies had to turn in their badges when the chief did, there were maybe 2 or 3 real cops, tops. What some of us have been lambasting for about 5 pages is all the crime statistics people have been throwing up to justify 5 cops in a square less than a mile/side. If one cop made one arrest a day there, 50% of the population would be in jail. With a population of 740, a single homicide would triple the national homicide rate from 2013. |

My guess is, a few of the officers that "resigned" don't actually exist and the records were wiped in an attempt to hide embezzlement in the form of employees on paper only.
Take a look at Google maps, there's no friggin way they needed six officers. That place has no highway nearby to get traffic revenue off of so it's not that. Those officers simply didn't exist. My bets are their PAYCHECKS were still cashed though... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The minumum number of cops that should ever be on duty is two plus a supervisor. Doesnt matter if you have 740 people or 74,000 thats the minimum. If you cant afford that you shouldnt have your own PD and should instead contract with a larger agency for police services. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 6 cops for 740 people?

If you only knew the vast number of small towns with only one on. Some towns only have one hired. I knew a place that had one and he also was the water dept. and the tax dept. It was not uncommon to see him digging up water lines while in a police uniform. He was one, though, you did not screw around with.

I don't think her being black is why they quit. I have a feeling she has said a lot of anti-police racial stuff while campaigning. Just a wild guess though. Apparently they all know her from the previous job. Sometimes it's better to leave than to stick around and hope for the best (sounds like the new mayor may have an enemy's list). |

Reserve officers don't get paychecks. Also, the city payroll would have the pay records, not the police dept. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My guess is, a few of the officers that "resigned" don't actually exist and the records were wiped in an attempt to hide embezzlement in the form of employees on paper only. Take a look at Google maps, there's no friggin way they needed six officers. That place has no highway nearby to get traffic revenue off of so it's not that. Those officers simply didn't exist. My bets are their PAYCHECKS were still cashed though... Reserve officers don't get paychecks. Also, the city payroll would have the pay records, not the police dept. Your universal statement doesn't seem to be universal. $29.16/hr = nothing. PS: I know that I'm being ignored which really hurts my feels. This is for other folks to understand the level of BS in some of these posts. |

Found this: There's not much info about Ms. Byrd online. Ain't a whole lot of pictures; couldn't tell you what platform she ran on or what speeches she made but I'm pretty sure this is more than just about her race - this is about her. If had it been some clueless brown bimbo becoming Mayor, I doubt they would've resigned. But Parma elected her. Something about Tyrus Byrd was apparently so terrifying that these fools literally fled before her.. Commenters have pointed out that these people were quitting their jobs - giving up actual income - in this economy, so you already know it was serious. After all, wiping the computers before they left is a crime. Commenters have pointed out that those computers and the data they stored were paid for by taxpayers; ergo, the data was city property and thereby public record. Since Byrd is a former city clerk herself, and she keeps saying her first order of business is to "clean up the city", I think she knows what went down, or at least has a pretty good idea. Because of the missing records, Byrd said that she couldn’t comment on the resignations until she had more information. So it doesn't fit the GD paradigm that she must have simply been a black cop hating welfare hag? This simply cannot be. Surely there will be some heads that will explode. |

Or they were really fired but allowed to resign. Wouldn't be the first time a newly elected black mayor has racially purged white police officers. Quote HistoryQuoted:

6 cops for 740 people? Seems unnecessary anyways. I think this new mayor may have just saved this town some money. I think we have one per thousand in my area. Podunk town. |

The cops there don't worry about cardio because any pursuit that involves running is going to leave their jurisdiction in under a minute.
ETA: Also, population 740 was during the heydays of alfalfa farming, Google puts them at 675 now. |
