The Philly DA just lets these criminals out free anyway.
Our city cops are up against a wall here in Philly. Most of the men and women in blue are human and have feelings. It's a up hill battle for them today. We appreciate all of what you do for our city and it's residents. I have lost too many to drug violence and addiction. The cops are just like us. HUMAN
I haven’t seen this many washed-up losers since Hurricane Katrina
And why would anyone stay in big cities they are nothing but depression and mind altering
He said at the end the birth place of America … how ironic that this country was taken away from the natives through violence..
Hey America!!! How is that NAFTA and other Free Trade Deals working out for you?? Maybe some more tax cuts for wealthy people will help this situation.
GOD IS ANGRY BABYLONIANS 🎺😡
Cap
All apart of a broader plan. Let the neighborhood rot from within while the developers are buying up all the land around there. A majority of the addicts down there are caucasian so yeah…no one is being arrested for drug use or paraphanalia. They are treating this area just like in the series the wire. As long as you guys stay in this area. We’ll leave you alone!
Remember only in Democrat ran cities crime is out of control stop voting democrats especially for these modern day democrats they are not doing anything about crime it doesn’t Matter black white liberals they do not care and are put the money in they pockets they claim to be given to gun laws and community programs I live in a republicans states and we are not dealing with this republicans do something about law and order and arrest that Getto baby mama that let the kid run in the streets by himself 😡that’s the problem too in democrats ran cities black women married to democrats checks and no husbands
Gun crisis or criminal crisis?
We need HELP here. Our local police isn't enough. My area isn't too bad, but there aren't the resources to help my neighborhood because there are much more "important" things going on in other sections of the city. The people on the streets need HELP! The kids that aren't being properly taken care of need HELP! Getting kids off the street and showing them opportunity is the only way we're going to stop the problem of violence in this city. We have to stop it before it begins.
Didn't know the cops were doing anything? Did you,
Structural violence
PA could decide to have tougher gun laws like in the other northeast states but does not. The gun death rates are lower there – but that’s all under threat with the far-right Supreme Court which wants to proliferate enough guns to arm every psychopath and street urchin. And the overdose rates are probably the same as in West Virginia or other rural areas – but in greater number in cities where there are more people.. As for suburbanites, school mass shootings show they won’t be safe from this either. People who complain about mayors and DAs don’t realize that these are national problems brought to you by an insurrectionist/tyrannical party and the sooner they vote Republicans out of power the sooner something can be done about it, but it will take at least a generation or two to clean up the mess.
It’s not a “gun” violence crisis. It is a violence crisis. I don’t care if the violence is guns, knives, trucks. The violence is violence so it is a people problem not a gun problem.
Weren’t you guys just promoting defund the police no movement? We live in the greatest country on the planet and you mean to tell me we can’t clean up a single neighborhood? The issues start with democrat soft on crime policies. Any thing lead by democrats becomes a failure of epic proportions. Big changes need to happen once republicans take back power or they can get voted out as well
Philly !!
I feel like all these drug abusers should go and get high in their own neighborhoods and get out of ours. Go and lower the property taxes around where their parents live. I’m sick of these caucasian zombies crawling around here.
Living in Philly the Kensington section for over 44 years it’s crazy what it was and what it is today ..they just need to bring back rules and laws they used on me as a kid no hanging on any Conners .. forcing the law more …today is way different they don’t care about any lil laws or rules they make it more easier for people just to do whatever they want …they don’t care about preventing they only care about is when it’s a shooting or something like that …🤷♂️ little laws and rules should matter too it mite help to prevent some crimes
God bless philly pd.
Yeap….black people
Philadelphia is a lost city. Anyone who can, should get out now and leave the savages to themselves
🔴🇺🇸2022, police now protect gangters
All I really heard was that reporter said the Philly backdrop showing Independence Hall was the birthplace of American Democracy..lol Nowhere in the. Constitution is the word even found. Ben Franklin described Democracy as two wolves voting on the one Sheep to eat for din din lol. We are a constitutional Republic..
So thankful for the brave policemen. 🙏
Love my city but hate the crime. Cops are doing the best they can
