Property values will continue to drop as crime increases. How is Antioch going to meet city budget needs as property tax revenue drops and businesses continue to close?

The police are not responsible for Antioch’s increase in crime. It’s become a magnate for criminals who were engaging in criminal activity before they infiltrated the city. They just continued here what they were already doing elsewhere. Can’t blame the police for the actions of people who choose to commit crimes rather than being law abiding citizens.

Antiochs crime is directly related to lack of police. People think they can take 40% of the police right off the street for while they ivestigate some text messages without skyrocketing crime are the most stupidest people who should be the ones investigated. The racist mayor should be arrested for putting us citizens in danger.
