Philadelphia leaders deserve to be held extremely accountable for their policies.

Philadelphia has a “violent crime” crisis. If politicians wanted to solve it, they’d forget the word “gun” and focus on the willful perpetrators.

Notice the indirect, “gun crime”.
Or “a car drove through a parade”.
Never admit that a person was actually driving the car, or holding a gun while committing a crime.

I love the new useless political slogans

“We Deserve Better”

“This is not who we are”

“We need to re-imagine public safety”

Same ole, same ole.

What good are stricter gun laws when the guns used in the murders are illegally obtained/purchased, and the police are 8ncapable of enforcing the laws because they are being defunded?

BTW The progressive DA was just reelected. The ironic thing is that the law and order candidate was a well know criminal defense attorney who was disgusted by the inept DA's office.

No, you don’t deserve better. You caused this, you and the media and the race baiters and everyone else who used race as a political whipping post.

Where’s Matthew Payne when you need him?

Oh...... he is real Philadelphian, white, educated, superior. He is neither black or queer and thus shunned as a police officer

"We deserve better"

Not as long as you keep focusing on guns and deliberately ignore the real problem, you don't.

"ongoing gun violence crisis"

Yeah, right. Guns are causing all the violence. The people pulling the trigger are not to blame.
