i was considering moving to philadelphia and now i'm glad i didn't and i understand that the corrupt police and courts are everywhere; i'm just glad i got to dodge this one bullet out of many.
I'm from the Philly region. While I have zero love for the PPD, we are lower on the injustice scale than most. The PPD commissioner response and prosecutorial response have been appropriate once the information came out. There hasn't been this overwhelming denial of justice that can be seen elsewhere.
And the killing of minorities is a systemic problem. Try not to judge the city based on a single incident by a scared white man.
"not the worst cops in the country" is a dubious distinction lol
We're not LA or Chicago, to be sure. There is a distinction. All police violence is a problem and it's endemic to policing with the current policies. It's unacceptable and unsustainable, but you nor I can do anything about it directly or alone.
Certainly not an attack on you, I just thought it was kind of funny
