Go figure, when people feel heard they don't feel a need to escalate. Shocking.
Right? I thought it was pretty neat. Proud of my local area for being more collaborative than combative.

Detroit is a different thing, though...and I wonder how things will develop there. Lots of angry people and a police department that's already spread thin.

Being dumb sure is easier, and you can make it all the way to POTUS without actually learning anything so school is for fools!

I should move to Philly, run for mayor, win, rip that fucking thing down on day one, then quit.

There's been a murder and I'm the victim and Chris is the perpetrator and humor was the weapon.

If I'm not required to by the business, no I won't unless I see someone that should be that isn't. Then the N95 goes right on.

Changing recommendations are a good thing, not a bad one. Don't be a simpleton.

Frank Rizzo was a police commissioner and mayor of Philadelphia but mostly he was human scum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Rizzo
As mayor, Rizzo was a strong opponent of desegregation of Philadelphia's schools, and prevented the construction of public housing in majority-white neighborhoods.[1] While running for a third term, Rizzo urged supporters to "Vote White".[2][3] During his tenure as police commissioner and mayor, the Philadelphia police department engaged in patterns of police brutality, intimidation, coercion, and disregard for constitutional rights.[4][5] The patterns of police brutality were documented in a Pulitzer-Prize winning Philadelphia Inquirer series by William K. Marimow and Jon Neuman.[6]
Sounds like a great guy. Definitely protect that statue.

:rolleyes: :butwhy:

Detroit had a similar douche mayor in the same time period...Cobo.

The main exhibition center downtown was named after him, and had been for as long as I could remember.

Last year, the city decided to drum up some funds by selling naming rights to it. The current mayor (who absolutely rocks) spun it as removing a dark racist spot in Detroit's history. The current mayor is white in a majority black city and is loved by many for not caring about skin color and focusing on solving problems. I wish more politicians were like him.

There are 15-20 protesters outside the police station in Corning right now plus a camera crew. That's a lot of people for a 10k pop middle of nowhere town that must be 99% white/AZN folks. Almost 0.2% of the population.

Guess I’m a racist. I don’t want to see any more destruction to our people and cities.
The burning of the police station was a perfect message. Now we have chaos.

I have run out of fucks. I still care and want things to be equal and change, but when I got mad about the militarization of police and the more frequent shootings back in 2008 to 2012 I was 'extreme'. 'un American'. 'liberal bullshit'

so, I hope things change. based on history I'm not confident they will

Zero outcry for Dave Patrick Underwood. Guess a black officer being gunned down during the protests isn’t news worthy.
