More than 1,000 Philadelphia police officers have abandoned city living since the department’s residency rules were softened five years ago — many lured to the suburbs by the prospect of better schools, cleaner streets, and safer neighborhoods. ---SNIP-- “They should hang in the neighborhoods and help make the schools better,” said Mayor Kenney, a lifelong city resident who now lives in Old City. “All of our residents need to pitch in and help with our schools.”

The mayor soundz like your typical LIB idiot. Forever
Clueless.
Cannot but help wondering how things are going in Baltimore? After the city administration put a public bulls-eye on the police, the feeling amongst the blue ranks probably hit close to rock bottom. The big Dem Cities want to make nice with BLM for votes but there is a price to be paid for the pandering!
Filthydelphia is a liberal hell hole and its Mayor is a scum bucket 1st class.
There is nothing wrong with the building, the books, or the teachers. 100% ghetto bastards is the problem.
Do you blame these officers who for the most part have a “servants” heart. Our country will be nothing more than a cesspool at the rate we are going. The only hope is Jesus. http://www.thereishopeinjesus.com/
Who wouldn’t? The hard part for me would be going back into Philly for my job every d@mn day!
What cop these days wouldn’t long for a job in Mayberry, USA? I’ll bet those Philly cops have their resumes all ready to go!
And another thing? Whenever States became ‘right to work’ States and employees (Read: We The People) had the opportunity to get OUT of the Unions? They got out of the Unions!
Works every time it’s tried!
As ‘intellectually superior’ as the Socialists THINK they are, they’re really kinda dumb. ;)
“All of our residents need to pitch in and help with our schools.”
They aren’t residents.
And that’s not due to any failure on their part.
So many people curse the police . . . and then complain when the police move out.
Why would cops want their kids in reach of Philly gangs?
exactly, a policeman wont want his kids going to school with the kids/cousins/misc relatives of the guys they are busting every day
Why? It's bad enough that everyone has to pay for the schools, no matter how lousy they are.
I can’t fault police officers for wanting to have a home in a decent neighborhood after working in the cities all day (or night).
If you have a job working at the dump or working in a rendering plant they don’t make you live there.
Why should police be treated differently?
Quote: “They should hang in the neighborhoods and help make the schools better,” said Mayor Kenney...
But you would stop them, moron. You DON’T WANT BETTER SCHOOLS.
Me thinks mr mayor should move out of “Old City” Philly first. Wonderful history which he probably doesn’t give too hoots about. Who is Betsy Ross?
