I don't know, seems kind of racist not to let the black people riot in their own City
u mean, after 2 nights of looting
Its not enforced so why bother
Two nights of RIOTING caused by the man who pulled a knife on the Police. There! Fixed it for you. phillyriots
Why blame Democrats every time a riot happens. This is not about politics. I this about racism. If Republicans cant get along with people well dont say anything. How many people have been bullied in their lives? If you have been bullied than why are you bullying other people?
Harris gonna bail them out?
How sad is it that the same people crying to defund the police are now outraged that, after the philly police got defunded by 14M in June, these officers didn't have tazers on them and used lethal force. Circular thinking at its finest.
