No one should "romanticize" the reign of Frank Rizzo as Police Commissioner. He was not a Constitutional, law and order guy...he was an iron-fisted, power-hungry fascist.
No one should confuse his sometimes interesting musings about hippies, protesters, drugs and race rioters as those of a genuine conservative.
Lived in Philly during that time.

My experiences and timeline as well. I remember the gangs of unmarked cops who would roam our streets near his house in Chestnut Hill. He thought he was a Tony Soprano kinda guy.
