P.U.R.R. Philly Uprising Response

Philly's history tells us that when we follow the orders of the Fraternal Order of Police, more people die. In 1969, the Philadelphia Police Review Board was abolished by Mayor Frank Rizzo. From 1970 to 1978 75 people were shot while unarmed, while retreating, and while not being charged for a violent crime in Philadelphia. This compares to the 1950s when only 32 people were shot and killed by police in Philadelphia. Hundreds of people became victims of militarized violence. In the 80s, a whole block was bombed and several children were killed. Philadelphia was the first Police Department ever to be sued for use of force by the US government. It took until the 90s until police reviewed peoples complaints again. Philly has one of the most violent Police Departments in history when we review the books. And Philly has shown time and time again that reforms don't work. Abolish the militarized occupation of Philadelphia neighborhoods!
