P.U.R.R. Philly Uprising Response

You know what has happened during this pandemic? People lost their jobs, and lost access to their in person behavioral health services. The results were increased domestic violence, increased shootings, increased shoplifting, and increased drug use. When people cant afford to put food on their table and access their healthcare and medicine due to copays, and limited access, crime and deviancy increases. There is a socioeconomic factor in social stratification during times of crisis that creates increased deviancy and crime. No matter how militarized Philadelphia Police are, there is nothing they can do to prevent that. So demilitarizing and putting funds into housing, healthcare, and other lifeline resources for those in the most need is absolutely a necessary call for leaders to make that they have yet to do.
