Ok, so why isn't Lauretha Vaird's picture in that poster? She was the last officer killed LOD, in 1996, before Gary Skerski. Wasn't she LE as well? Doesn't she deserve the same respect?

Sure there are other races that kill.....nobody is perfect...but this poster is just highlighting the most recent cold blooded killings of Philadelphias finest.

Hey I have nothing to do with the posters...I didnt make them.

Take that up with those who designed it.

But in all honesty she should have been on the list....her murderer would have fallen right in line with the rest of those pictured.

Bullshit, cerbie. Faulkner's killing goes back 25+ years ago, before Skerski, the last one was 10 years prior. There were others as well--they were LEO of color. Don't they deserve the same respect?

Did you see my response to Vairds murder? I said she should have been on the list also.

Funny you should mention Vaird....her murderer should have been executed back in 2006...but hes still sucking on the taxpayers tit...Why dont you cut & paste his photo in with the rest of them?

Good job! Hopefully it was deposited in the proper waste receptacle.

The flags are still high, but the posters down. Good job. At least we have priorities.

If I'm not mistaken that kinda worked out ok for fishtown? I really try and i'm sure i'm less racist than my father was and my kids will be less racist than me, but it's called self-defense and it's a basic human instinct...prove us wrong bro!
