Biden: Jobs bill will lower crime
If anyone listening doubts whether or not there is a direct correlation between the reduction in cops and firefighters and the rise in concerns of public safety, they need look no further than your city, Mr. Mayor, Biden said at an appearance to tout the American Jobs Act at a firehouse in Flint, Mich.
Biden said that while some voters tell him cities dont need more police officers and firefighters which the jobs bill would fund he believes its essential to bulk up public safety forces to keep crime rates down.
In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on the police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city. In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes just to pick two categories climbed to 229. In 2011, you now have only 125 shields, he said.
God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don't rectify it, he said the jobs bill would be a key way to do so. And God only knows what that number would have been had we not been able to get a little bit of help to you.
