Has Obama spent any time in Philadelphia?
Since Rendell is certainly not a friend of Obama - he is friends with Bill - and mayor Nutter is black, this might be an interesting development to watch for.
Nutter:
------------------------
supports having the City of Philadelphia declare a “Crime Emergency” in selected areas of Philadelphia.
This would station more officers in certain areas of Philadelphia, limit the ability to gather on public sidewalks, impose a curfew for all residents, and limit the ability to travel in certain areas.
The proposal includes a warrant-less police search technique known as “stop-and-frisk.”
Nutter claims that this approach is sufficiently similar to one that was found to be Constitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1968 in Terry v Ohio.
Nutter supports the eviction of the Cradle of Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America from their headquarters on the Ben Franklin Parkway.
