Burlington, VT The Defund And Disrespect Of Police Has Left The Station

In the era of anecdotal comments by the news media and politicians that were anti police the city fathers of Burlington cut the public safety budget. Not a slight defunding but slashed by a third. They also directed the Officers, now down to around 60 from 107, to NOT enforce drug and quality of life laws.

The Once Quiet And Peaceful Streets Are Overrun With Homeless And Addicts

The department was decimated by Officers quitting. Morale sank. The result being the once peaceful and beautiful city being overtaken by homeless and drug addicts. Cops complained that people were shooting up on the streets. Homeless encampments and the crime rates exploded.

This brought the business community and city leaders to the conclusion that this is NOT what the residence wanted. Coming to their senses the unanimous decision was to reinstate the police budget and to enforce the laws on the books. A little late but a step in the right direction.

The city now wants to expand their police department and recruit new cops…oh yeah, and start enforcing the law. That’s all cops want to do. Good luck…it’s going to be a hell of a task.
