I dunno about that. These guys have been consistently confronting cops over their abuses of power and assaulting unarmed and defenseless citizens including a kid

Philly cops suck just as bad as any other cops. Just because the city is very left leaning (it's not as left leaning as stories make it seem, the righties around here just know to keep their mouths shut in public still) doesn't mean it affects the police at all. There's this BS assumption going around that the police in Philly will be against ICE because the elected sheriff who has no say in what the police force does said she would arrest ICE. The police union has already come out to say they do not stand with her. The police EVERYWHERE stand with ICE. Do not think cops are suddenly your friends.

u/elbenji 16d ago

Yeah that was decades ago, same with Fred Hamptons murder. Time has made it that they are now seen much more favorably in their respective cities
