Gov. Ron DeSantis has drafted “anti-mob” legislation that would expand Florida’s Stand Your Ground law — a move that critics say will allow armed citizens to shoot suspected looters or anyone engaged in “criminal mischief” that disrupts a business.

“Combined with any additional money for Tasers, the new, backdated funding request, if passed, would amount to millions more than what the city rescinded last summer.” - Billy Penn

Philly police seek extra $18 million for protest coverage and raises
The request is part of a larger package to reconcile the city’s budget from the last fiscal year.
The same day the Philadelphia Police Department puts in a request and receives a hearing for $18 million in funding; a larger amount than what was cut from their budget earlier in the year, Philadelphia Police Department kills their 4th victim in a period just over a 1 month.

No more money for those who take peoples lives. Especially when we need money for the homeless, the hungry, and crumbling infrastructure. Put $18 million into homes for the homeless.

Nazis tore apart a mural and memorial today in DC with support of police. So that means statues are fair game now right?

The way these cops are protecting the nazis shows a clear difference in how police treat civilians based on skin color, and political affiliation. https://twitter.com/vintageloca/status/1327408131463401473

Philly's history tells us that when we follow the orders of the Fraternal Order of Police, more people die. In 1969, the Philadelphia Police Review Board was abolished by Mayor Frank Rizzo. From 1970 to 1978 75 people were shot while unarmed, while retreating, and while not being charged for a violent crime in Philadelphia. This compares to the 1950s when only 32 people were shot and killed by police in Philadelphia. Hundreds of people became victims of militarized violence. In the 80s, a whole block was bombed and several children were killed. Philadelphia was the first Police Department ever to be sued for use of force by the US government. It took until the 90s until police reviewed peoples complaints again. Philly has one of the most violent Police Departments in history when we review the books. And Philly has shown time and time again that reforms don't work. Abolish the militarized occupation of Philadelphia neighborhoods!

They started the term with a lie on the size of a crowd, it's only fair that they end with another one
Edit: I literally can't find any photos that show more than a few thousands gathered. "A million" lmao
