#1 Yet she acknowledged she has to bring in private security to feel safe.

How dare she follow Rosie, Bloomberg, etc and all other gun grabbers who hire armed private security. Doesn't she know her place. That's an ~~privilege~~ opportunity reserved for the 'right' people.

#2 If you have the money, you hire security guards to make you "feel" safe. However, a well armed and trained, and disciplined neighborhood would stop the Riff Raff Rat Club in its tracks.

Welcome to the future, urban Dem America.

I'd call that slashing. But that would force CBS to admit that Caliphornia has problems.

#5 This model is more like the original model started by Sir Robert Peel. It often seems we are "blessed" more with a securitate than police nowadays....

#6 With budget cuts forcing Oakland to trim its police force by a third

I'd be willing to bet that any reasonably intelligent adult could find a whole buncha things that they could cut long before the police force...but they'd all be racist/sexist/homophobic, etc....

#7 Mike, you're correct, but then, big time Demo Donors don't get rich on police contracts.
