what I'm saying how good Jersey City is and turned out. I don't see anything changed just more buildings put up. but all the cops that they hired they should be enough to have two on each Corner patrolling all over but where are the cops no one's patrolling or protecting when you need help you can't find nobody they need to put them where they need to be seeing so maybe they can scare away the criminals there's enough of them they hire them to be cops so put them to you so put them on the corners during the day and night to protect the citizens of Jersey City. then maybe the crime rate will go down like I said they'd fill up hired so many where are they put them out there to work time to serve the people of Jersey City and protect them instead of throwing up all these homes and buildings all over for so much money put the people out there to protect the people. sorry to hear what happened to the man but if the cops were out there doing their job
