Don’t understand why the police even bother putting themselves in harm’s way. The prosecutor won’t prosecute. Besides, the woke universities dislike police at least since the demise of St. George Floyd. The police should have told them to go pound sand.
Philadelphia overwhelmingly voted for this. Let them live and die with the consequences.
Has temple gone totally ghetto? Is that the scary side of town?
Yes. The hint is Cecil B. Moore Avenue.
