Entire Buffalo Housing Police May Be Laid Off

<snip> Close to 100 protesters, including council members and tenants, held a rally Wednesday hoping to convince Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority officials to keep their police force.

The 26 officers could lose their jobs by July 1, and the housing authority blames a cutback in federal funds for the layoffs. <snip>

do not live in housing projects, and so feel no obligation to pay housing authority police officers through their taxes! Long live King George!

To quote Jerry Seinfeld: We're trying to have a SOCIETY here!

3. The White House

is a housing project.
How come it's housing police are unaffected by the federal cut?
What ever happened to "trickle down?"

This is what federal tax cuts for the rich causes.
