Sounds like it. States don't have enough money to put police on the streets, people have lost their jobs and had to take two or three to bring in the amount they used to earn. Their kids are out of control, gangs are taking over. It's getting serious out there in urban America. Heck even the suburbs are too.
I see a lot more states having to call in extra forces to help them.
They said they weren't calling in tanks or having military on every corner. They just want to get their arms around the high crime rate while they still can.
