Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney issued a statement Tuesday following controversial comments he made after a shooting during the July 4th celebration in the city in which two police o
But the mayor raised eyebrows when he continued,"So everything we have had in the city over the last seven years, I worry about. I don't enjoy the Fourth of July. I didn't enjoy the Democratic National Convention. I didn't enjoy the NFL Draft.
How about get people in there that aren’t gonna take bribes ….
DRONE support ?!?! Hahahahahahaha
Krazner lets violent perps back on st in 24 hours, so they have no deterent to stop breaking lawns. Now they're wanting to violate law abiding citizens 4th amendment civil rights of illegal search and seizures. These cities do NOTHING for citizens but everything for criminals.
What's a 'legal' stop and frisk, exactly?
Police support is not enough to stop all this gun violence. You need to know the HOW the guns got out and WHY the killing
Ill believe it when I see it. I cannot wait to escape this hellhole.
For what? Philly justice system is so corrupt you let all of them go anyways. Just like that dumb b... that killed a state troopers under the influence
No. You should live with your defund the police policies. What happened? It’s not working out?
To late lots of money people have fled to civilization only krasner voters will remain The culture of no consequences has consequences
Let ‘em eat cake. Fend for yourselves, like the peasants you ignore🖕🏽each and every one of you.
It is about time!! 6ABC, or any lical stations could always talk favorably about police but they never do. Just like Kradner!!
Progressive ain't the way after all? Geeee Now apologize to the entire city. Now.
You mean Defund the Police didn’t work? Shocking
Lol coming to you live from the city what wanted to defund the police department
Defund the police huh?
Oh About time they're waking up
I'm confused. Was it not this same City Council that voted to drastically cut the PPD budget to placate their constituents? My, how times have changed (quickly).
Can’t they just call in the social workers?
Really? What happened to we hate law enforcement and defund the police?
I thought you wanted to defund the police
Stop & frisk needs serious oversight. Folks blame Krasner, Kenney, Outlaw & everyone else but our city gets better when we decide we want it to be better. It's how we live in & care for our neighborhoods, how we raise our children, how we treat one another. We need to do better.
No!? WTH
We need stop and frisk!!!!
Guns in big city s should not be allowed... You have the police
But, but, but just 2 short years ago you wanted to defund them. I knew a few hundred murders would snap you out of that idiocy
The things we do when we don’t know what do!
HAHA same people that cried to defund the Police. How did all that pandering work out?
You mean coddling criminals and demonizing police actually led to more crime? Shocking, if you were screaming “defund the police” you’re getting what you asked for, a city run by criminals, isn’t that the progressive utopia you were looking for?
These people have not idea how to run a city. So now taxpayers have to fork over more money due to City Council's mismanagement of the city?
How the tune has changed in Philly. You politicians reap what you sow. You’ve made the job of policing difficult and unattractive and now you want more of it. The shootings and homicides are your faults starting with DA_LarryKrasner and the waste of a mayor
Can't they just remove some more statues? I mean, your station told us that removing statues was a form of justice and would fix our societal ills, right?
There are 17 seats so Clarke & Gilmore Richardson who else said they support the racist discriminatory stop & frisk ?
Their all guilty of destroying this City and none of them have the balls to call out Killer Krazner and his progressive policies and not locking the savages destroying our City because they all backed him
Enforce the law and stop excusing crime. Lock up violent criminals. Stop and frisk worked. If you are not carrying an illegal weapon it’s not a problem. The safety of all citizens is the priority. The mayor and DA encouraged crime.
No. That’s not what’s needed, what’s needed is to know what happened at the parade. They have enough money, we’re not a police city.
The same council that voted down a raise for the police. Screw them all.
PhillyMayorResign
so everything that worked before ?
Absolutely not
Oh what the stand down efforts didn’t work? Good luck getting that genie back in the bottle
Legal stop and frisk hahahaha it’s been legal
But if Krasner will not prosecute, what is the point ?
Look what all these moron democrat politicians created, demonizing the police, calling for defunding the police & hugging the criminal element & never calling out Krasner. And now your begging the police for help!! I'm calling for defunding city government with term limits...
Lol the city (and society in general) have spent years enabling and encouraging crime. This is the result
I live in Phila and I'm 100% down with this. I'm being taxed for a half a million dollar house by the city and paying wage tax to boot, but deal with tweakers coming into my front yard looking for packages to steal and dropping syringes on my sidewalk daily...
That’s right, folks! You don’t need rights, or freedom, or personal liberty… all you need is SAFETY! Don’t you wanna feel safe? Just give up the whole “Constitutional rights” nonsense, give up you free speech, give up bodily autonomy, give up your guns… It’ll be fine…
burn it down!
But not the arrest & prosecution of criminals? Their statements will hopefully be used by the General Assembly for the impeachment of Larry Krasner.
None of that shit works. Go after guns on the federal level.
PhillyMayor is at your local bar having some Irish whiskey
Just 2 years ago many of them and many of their constituents were all about 'Defund the police!' and 'ACAB!'... What happened?... 🤣
Absolutely NOT. policestate LandOfTheFree
Should never have gone away
I guess we're not defunding the police anymore
City council wants POLICE SUPPORT WE REMEMBER WHEN THEY ALLOWED Protestors TO PROTEST TO DEFUND THE POLICE! THEY NEED TO CLEAR OUT THE SWAMP IN City HALL
So I’m guessing the defund the police movement is over. How’d it go?
Where have they been for 50 years
Neoliberal shithole.
Any other suggestions? There seems to be one BIG subject missing from this conversation. Stop and frisk whom? For decades, only certain members of the community were stopped and frisked.
Cancel Made in America Concert. People can't behave in large groups anymore. Cancel it all.
What difference does it make if your DA won't press charges?
We have drone surveillance in Philly for at least ten years. They are not stars, they're drones. They move and use shitty LED lights .
Stop and Frisk ain't it.
Wow starting to sound conservatives Vote red people, time for a change. Democrats have failed that city for too long.
Gee what a surprise!
Yes, because if one thing improves police - citizen relationships, it’s stop and frisk.
Stop and Frisk starts with traffic stops. Any cop will tell you stops generate gun arrests. Let officers enforce the MV Code
Ok, Philadelphians, prepare to be heavily surveilled.
More money towards a police district that cannot control gun violence? What happens when the drones get shot?
How about getting rid of the guns & the gun-toting crazies that carry them around in public?!!!A lot less manpower, time, & money than more police support, increased drone, & surveillance technology.
But but….they got rid of stop and frisk…..they defunded the police. The council got exactly what it wanted
Because stop and frisk worked so well in NYC...smh
Very touchy situation stop and frisk
City Council who passed laws not allowing cops to stop drivers? Same City Council who almost all endorsed Krasner? That City Council?
They should be calling for the immediate resignation of PhillyMayor and PPDCommish
Drones ? Once they grab our guns then police state takes over
Enjoy PhillyMayor 👍 YOU voted for him not once but twice!!!!! This is your fault!
That’s a change of tune for the blue city! They waking up finally!
Why? Because no one was shot, and all the budget they have now didn't stop the non-shooting from turning into a panic caused by the police response. These ppl only have one answer to the cities problems, more money for the cops, and its lazy, irresponsible and straight up dumb.
