Apparently two people were shot in Center City--ABC is saying 1 was a cop:

But then our soon to be retired Police Commissioner says we do not need "stop and frisk". I wonder what the rank and file thinks?

I bet a decent percent are scared out of their freaking minds! Given how often I see cops in parking lots and not getting the guys driving crazy with blackened windows all around. Or all gangs hanging about and drugs being sold out in the open. Given the small percent of violent criminals getting caught. I don't think honestly this police force is bred to deter at this point or to stop and frisk. Why would this police force want to anyway? Their superior is an idiot who doesn't want anything to do with it and they see how crazy the population with guns are.

Relax. He shot a cop. That means the PPD will actually bust their butts to find out who did this, and fast.

It times like this... I think of a little place I saw in Point Breeze.


You can see it for yourself without having to go down there thanks to Google.

Relax? A father almost didn't go home to his children last night. Today we have one who will probably won't go home. Is there something amusing about that?
