when and where have gun rights been restricted here?

I don’t disagree with some of your points here but “be nice to us and and we will do better” is kind of silly. There’s a cause-and-effect thing here. It has to work the other way.

It might be the shockingly low arrest numbers.

i agree with you about the culture, it’s terrible and i am sympathetic. the “ us vs them” thought overrides everything, to the point that someone trying to do the right thing is completely ostracized. The “right” thing to do in that environment is to keep your fucking mouth shut.

the other reason is because a ridiculous number of police officers are abusing the disability system ( which they FOP also encourages and facilitates ). Ya see in a normal union world there is “ management “ and more importantly contractual recourse. But in the PPD everyone below the Deputy Commissioner are in the same “ union “. Sweet deal for them, accountable to basically no one but a couple of political appointees that will always be new or soon gone.

AND here’s the best part. The worse it gets the more money the PPD gets

I don’t understand that either since everywhere I’ve worked the good workers would really prefer that the bad workers were fired, or at least punished. Especially if their continued employment made my job harder or less safe. It’s a real morale killer.

But in the police force, it works differently.

Some very bad police officers were prosecuted and the FOP didn’t like that, so they all decided to not do their jobs and still collect their paychecks ( and tons of overtime ).

from and near take the same effort

In my experience, the people that claim they are from Philadelphia when they are traveling are the same people who shit all over Philadelphia when they’re in their suburban home.
