      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.
