Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said the city needs a new multi-million dollar forensics crime lab to help thwart gun crimes in Philadelphia. This comes as President Biden offered billions in new spending for state and local governments to hire more officers.

Philadelphia's district attorney is calling for a multi-million dollar forensics lab after President Joe Biden offered billions to pay for state and local governments to hire more police.

Krasner said Bashir Moore was arrested on New Year’s Eve in 2019 for firing his weapon into the air. Police never found Moore’s gun, but convicted him by using gun residue even when a key piece of equipment needed in the investigation was broken at the time. Krasner said his office is dedicated to holding those charged with gun crime accountable. He said Moore is someone who investigators believe is associated with "one or more of the groups that are driving gun violence in Philadelphia."

Meanwhile, President Biden proposed some $30-billion in his new budget to help state and local governments hire more police.

Look PPD can seem like Keystone Cops but they cherry pick when they want to. The high profile cases get the forensics the low end maybe not so much. It takes a collaborative effort from PPD & District Attorney to fight crime and clearly that's not happening in present day Philly.

How about a multi-million investment in more police officers.

Why , he doesn’t want to arrest anyone for doing anything illegal anyway , and if the cops go out and do their job and make a arrest he makes sure the criminals get out as quick as possible .

This guy jerks off too much
