Everyday the flint mayor says that they don't have money to add more police officers. Lately the mayor fired the police chief and the fire department chief(because she didn't like the method that they were working, which their method lowered the crime) and hired new ones. Every since the crime start going up again. Flint is part of the united states. They dont care what is going on? If all these higher officers wanted, they could find funds and ways to eliminate crime. If they wanted, they could have donate a 1 or 2 percent of their hundred thousand dollars salary and support the police and fire departments and have them full so to be able and help. But it's too hard for them to lower their life style to help the people that they where sworn to do when they where elected and placed in those positions. I have 8 kids and I'm afraid to let them play outside. They are growing up like prisoners in their own house. Not only me, but everybody else.  This how kids should grow up. They are looking years, that they can't get back.
