No believe it or not, a bald 54 yr old wm who has never been arrested but has relatives in the department and has been sickened by listening to “cop stories” at family gatherings for years. White Philly cops are arrogant, racist assholes who enjoy beating heads in whenever possible. Arrests are made because they didn’t like someones attitude regardless of a crime or not. These peons are drunk with power and step on anyone they feel like. They then cover one another’s backs.

By the way, the buzz is that those cops that were fired for beating those three black guys are going to be reinstated after the heat is off.

My question is why weren’t they charges with civil rights crimes by the Feds? That whole thing has been swept under the carpet. Ever Rev Al shut up and went home.

This city is a disgrace.

I said maybe.

My opinion on this complicated story is this. Its nice to be a considered a white guilt-ridden liberal in your gentrifing mostly minority neighborhood but what was the major issue they had with public on-street camera set-ups in the neighborhood? Is it big brother? I’m sure the police understand crime hot-spots better then you or I. The PPD are now in the process of finding the killer of Zabel through the assistance of cameras…do they sound so bad now?

Either way to summarize it, it did seem the PPD went totally out of fucking line in this situation. On the other hand, L&I looks to finally be doing their job because that place is a total shithole. I’m sorry but that shit even up to Morse Code.

Of course, saying “he ain’t home” when you are in fact the property owner isn’t going to gain the Domelights’, or even the reasonable law enforcement community’s sympathy. This may be what happens when uneducated and “free thinking” arrogance collide.
