While Rizzo had absolutely no patience with race-baiters, he was popular in black neighborhoods because he kept thuggery down and the PPD often received instructions like , "I want to see their goddam teeth in the street .... those are your instructions."
And as popular as he was among the good people the 'hood, black police officers performed brilliantly for him because they knew Rizzo "had their backs" when Philadelphia's Liberals invariably complained about "police brutality."
The NYT will also never tell you about Rizzo's work in WWII. Or that Philadelphis was a very livable city before Wilson Good, whose only talent was his ability to display melanin.
