Of course, Philly had no problems with mayor or city council in 2014 when crime hit an all-time low. They all have a role to play but the big difference now is the cops are understaffed and running wild and the courts are backed up from the pandemic. Fix that and you’ll improve the crime situation.

But I was told the problem was the DA! How can this be?

Or maybe rural PA is just as bad with corruption and police operating with total impunity but we never hear about it because it doesn’t fit into the popular “diverse cities run by Democrats are corrupt and dangerous” narrative.
