If we want to sustain a movement, we need to acknowledge that the work is hard, really hard. We have to be patient and we have to have the long view. We may not get the thunderbolt on our watch, but history will look kindly on us if we do the work.

Mayor Eric Johnson “told Fox News Digital he attributed that success to THREE THINGS – a strong police chief, having ‘a budget that reflects public safety being your city's top priority,’ and ensuring there’s ‘community buy-in’ for crime reduction.”

Another very sad threshold crossed as of Sunday night, 528 homicides in our City. That number is EQUAL to the combined total of homicides of two years, 2014 (248) and 2015 (280). "Tears" & being "Heartbroken" will not slow/stop the killings - a fully coordinated plan is needed.

This data is from the Police Dept website. Also, 1 mistake from my earlier post (280 characters not the best for explaining things), I cared about ALL citizens safety, earlier I was making a point directly about AA/Latino victims, but 1 death/shooting is too many of any race!!

Talk to me when the current folks drive homicides lower than when I was in office. We saved the lives of many Black/Brown people, because I care. TY

So saddened to hear of this tragic news about Michael K. Williams. A great person who cared about so many causes, and certainly a great actor, but he was so much more. He came to the series finale screening at Phila City Hall in March 2008. RIP, Michael K. Williams, God Bless.
