Edward Murray on March 16, 2022 What Philly needs is a qualified police commissioner. Period! This poor excuse for a commissioner that Mayor Kenny hired is nothing more than a feckless, fraud. When a new commissioner or anyone hired into a high profile position such as police commissioner of the 4th largest city in the nation, you’d expect an immediate upward trend towards improvement. This individual-Danielle Outlaw with her clueless stance on leadership failed this entire city from the word go! She doesn’t understand the first thing about the all-important strategy of “COMMUNITY POLICING.” She has permitted her fellow female officers to wear finger nail polish, though. She certainly looks beauty with her cute hair do. And now she has bamboozled the entire political landscape in this city, including city council to go along with her charade of believing that it’s everyone else’s responsibility to fight crime. She is the one being paid $285,000 per year to make these cops do their job and send a stern message to that racist John McNesby and the FOP, that she runs the police department not the union. Instead, she has bluffed her way through for so long, until she is unfortunately safely planted to the point of no return at the peril of every citizen in this city. Therefore, Philly will never be a safe city. The question remains-does Philly have a police force? I submit to you, no it doesn’t. Because these cops have simply checked out. They are completely MIA. We need a qualified police commissioner in this city and not someone from amongst the ranks, either. I’ll rest for now. Reply
