Why on earth would you post this?
What’s the point?
(Not a criticism,just curious as to the reason)

” Can you imagine any mayor (or any politician) saying that today!”

Arpaio tweaks Obama/Holder in public all the time, and often with hilarious results.

Remember him well.

Philly was a vastly different and better place.

FRANKIE MUTHAF***A!!!

If is was possible to attach files here, I’d attach the pic of the huge mural of FRANKIE in PHI that I took.

The guy’s a hero to me.

He had his moments for sure...
The Cops were different then, too.

I kept thinking that Arizona had to be dead. He led Philadephia through some very tough times. It was a period of growth and rehabilitation for the inner city but also a period of the Black Psnthers.

I Remembervthose going to the art museum with my friends for the day and waiting on a bench by the parkway for my frien’s father to pick us up. I looked over at a new condo building that was nearing completion, right across from the museum. It had a big sign advertising the apartments for “discriminating buyers”. I still laugh about that sign.

Yo, fact check. The new police chief was in by then. Wilson (Worthless) Good was mayor. The state cops dropped a stun device that ignited gasoline and/or explosives the radical group had stored there. Yeah it was horrible. And ... you got the wrong guy.

Wilson (Worthless) Good and Chief Sambor Foxtrot Uniform.

The radical group also happened to be terrorizing a respectable black neighborhood.

Here's what the NYT said about it. Bear in mind that the NYT HATED Frank Rizzo, as they do all those they presume to be working class Catholic Leaders. Women, Children, and Minority Groups to Suffer Most in Philadelphia Tragedy

Blacks have ruined Philly. They’ve also ruined Upper Darby,and are expanding to ruin other formerly nice blue collar neighborhoods. They are a plague.

Are you this racist when others know your name...or only when you can be anonymous about it?
