I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I just want to reiterate how monumentally stupid it was for Booker to announce out of spite that they were reducing the city's contribution to security. Yeah, they actually had more cops than usual and this could have happened regardless, but it just doesn't make sense to say a thing like that.
Generally, you can't sue a government entity for lack of security or police presence. Although the New Jersey courts are so whacky you never know.
It's just a joke. I've lived in Newark and the area by the arena is not really one of the "don't walk there" places. The whole idea of publicly announcing that you are reducing the police presence at a specific location for a specific event is pretty reckless though.
I've told my family that if the reduced police presence should result in me getting shot, I want them to sue the city and give the money to the Devils to sign Parise.
