Or they could figure out how to open a Microsoft browser and do the following:

1. Click on map
2. Open traffic camera 📷 😑

We don't need to get into whether their forensic "experts" try to reconstruct partial fingerprints or use >60 y/o color tests when they try to secure convictions -the outcomes speak for themselves

I'm aware OP's statement is likely in reference to local roadways as opposed to state which have SD resolution? I dunno ask 🤷 one of the TV people, but not wpvi...

My point is that even given better tools 🔧 🙃 😅, the institution insists on more compensation for being both inept & abusive. FOH!

What a cutie. This made my morning.

Is krasners office botched cases? Yes. Have the police even arrested or brought cases to the DA for more than 20% of carjackings? No.

Again, two things can be true. Krasner is not that good at his job, his ideas are half baked, and he's failed to retain lawyers and improve on consistency and victims rights, all of that. But that's one half of the problem, and I argue that the bigger problem is the police's sheer ineptitude and inability to solve the vast majority of violent crimes.

John Practice, you old SOB!

That’s one baaaaaaaaad joke.

Sure, a broken clock is right twice a day. But the system remains largely incompetent and unable to produce arrests and cases for the vast majority of shootings and murders. Am I supposed to look at this and go thank a cop? Lol

I mean, this is another common refrain from the blue lives matter crowd. Sure OK, fine so convictions for illegal gun possession are down and arrests are up. are all those arrests legitimate ?was there enough evidence to support those arrests? We don't exactly know do we? And even given if every one of those arrests should have been a conviction-fine, Krasner's office is incompetent. This is not in question by me-what is in question is the police's incompetency with regard to solving violent crime, including murders and shootings most importantly. So maybe instead of deflecting with data on gun arrests, focus on why and how the police should be solving more violent crimes.

The community gardens always bring me joy

>crowd literally thinks that police solve shootings but krasner won't charge them, and while that may be true in some niche cases(probably because lack of evidence)

Funny, I guess I'm a 'niche' case. Look how many police resources got involved to capture the two who had me at gunpoint. (It was all on video & submitted for evidence). Krasners office let them walk after preliminary trial.

What are the best groups that a local resident like me, who isn't a career expert on gun violence, might look to endorse a particular candidate or specific policy approach with evidence backed policies. Essentially, who are the experts who will seriously consider these candidate's and their answers that we can look to?

Just last night, chased armed bandits from S Phila to Germantown & caught them. No credit given tho I'm sure. :/

Are those square foot gardens or just traditional raised beds? Either way I can’t wait for the progress pick when it’s overflowing with greenery!

Only girl goats, though.

Very sweet, I prefer cows milk (source: drank directly from the source).

My mom volunteers with the Philly Goats and it's basically the cutest thing on the planet. And you can hire them for yardwork or book them to just come visit. The goats are so chill!

Why ain’t you runnin

Love Philly Goat Project! Apparently, you can actually hire them to bring some goats to a party or event for a personal petting zoo. And the handlers will share goat education. My work did this once for a party for us and it was the best thing ever!

Lol. Yes. The truth is, everything can suck. Doesn't need to be one side or the other.

Did you know Goats produce milk? That makes it Legen-DAIRY

Legend.

Goat Ballet!

Goat On Artistic Tour

In the old country 1st of March is the first day of spring (also the 1st of every month is usually start of a season: December 1st is the first day of winter, January 1st is a first day of coder winter, February 1st is the first day of the worst winter, etc.)

The proper weather for spring didn't kick in until later in April, but hey, after 6 months of miserable weather we needed something at least in paper.

My copypasta because people are DMing me "what is mandatory 4K"

It stems from the idea that objectivity in law enforcement is important these days. With the police being proven to be problematic in enforcement, from stop and frisk, to vehicle stops, the point is to move to an objective way to get where we want, which is safer streets, better traffic enforcement, and actually catching murderers and violent people.

The city should put up a network of a few thousand cameras. Minimum. The police already have 500 or so, and those should all be upgraded to MANDATORY 4K, while also adding to the network. This would enable real time tracking of suspects and much better intelligence for the cops to solve murders. Think about it, a few thousand shooters are simply walking about, free to roam. Murderers some, hyper violent all. Give the tools to prosecute more effectively, and redirect police to crime solving and simple patrol and responding to 911 calls by expanding the detective unit.

Civil liberties can be preserved by having a MANDATORY obligation to delete any footage not involved in a crime after a set period, like three weeks or so. Have a civil commission in charge of the release and use of the footage, with regular citizens on the board. Only be able to use the footage in specific crimes-violent ones.

At 10 thou a camera(and that's a lot), 20 million dollars rolls out two thousand cameras, all super high def for zooming etc. add in 5 million a year for enterprise cloud storage(leveraged by the bully pulpit and the city's franchise powers), and viola. we spent 150 million in the last budget for violence prevention, which indeterminate results.

Once you start actually locking murderers and shooters up em masse, the violent crimes will go down. It's not a huge swath of people who commit such crimes, it's a few thousands out of 1.6 million. Eventually you lock all the degenerates up and others will get the idea to not fuck around.

I'm not saying this idea is Christ come again, but it's a very simple idea and largely irrefutable. The fact is we are entering a new era of policing and we must find new ways to solve violent crime and enforce the law.

At the same time we can do violence prevention, jobs programs and jail reforms to help ex cons gain a true foothold after they leave a long sentence, while also reducing the amount of people going in for petty drug crimes etc. of course we need to look at the economic reasons as well, and focus on bettering our educational systems and creating opportunities for people to succeed at the same time as MANDATORY 4K. We also need to address blight, clean and green spaces, clean all streets of trash and debris, be very quick about illegal dumping, and help low income people repair their houses and get their titles sorted out. But MANDATORY 4K is about now.

It's just something I've been floating around here for awhile now. I refine it from time to time. And I agree with you about the systemic issues, and think those things I mentioned above are part of the solution generationally, but I disagree that solving 90% of violent crimes won't drastically reduce the incidence of it. I think people are a bit smarter than we give them credit for, and when people who may be prone to this stuff, on the borderline, they might start thinking twice if the certainty of them getting caught and doing 20 years is might higher. They might choose a different path. And in any case I think there's not an endless well of shooters and hyper violent people on street beef shit. Eventually it will wane.

When you follow that up with a blue underwear guy, and ask what % of shootings do police ask for charges/arrests in, you're met with but "muh respect and krasner sucks". It's delusional. Two things can be true: the police are incompetent and lazy, while krasner and his office make big mistakes and their policies are misguided.
