"Philadelphia police arrested a man Friday in connection with a spray-painted message on the statue of former Mayor and Police Commissioner Frank Rizzo.
Per Philly.com, the man arrested is 40-years-old. Charges are still pending, but he is expected to be charged with criminal mischief, institutional vandalism and possession of an instrument of crime for spray-painting the statue that stands outside the Municipal Services Building.
The suspect defaced the statue Thursday night with the message “Black Power” after calls for its removal following the protests in Charlottesville, VA. Philly.com reports that the statue was egged Wednesday.
Officers responded to a call Thursday around 11 p.m. to a call for “vandalism in progress” in front of the Municipal Services Building. On top of the vandalized Rizzo statue at the building, the words “The Black community should be their own Police” were written on the steps."

"The black people should be their own police"? They have been trying that for a while now through the "stop snitching" campaigns and has worked out SO well...

Make no mistake, they want their own communities, they want their own government officials and public servants, and they want their own schools.

Then they can go to their own country, Liberia.

Ain't much of a white tax base to shake down in Liberia.

I wondered why they'd choose this mayor, who's undoubtedly a Democrat.
I went to Wiki and found out (there's plenty more):

quote:
hiring of black officers declined sharply during Rizzo's tenure as police commissioner. From 1966 to 1970, the percentage of black police officers hired declined from 27.5% to 7.7%. This precipitated a decline in the overall proportion of black Philadelphia police officers: from 20.8% in 1967 to 18% in 1971.
One of the force's most widely publicized actions under Commissioner Rizzo was raiding the Philadelphia offices of the Black Panther Party on August 31, 1970, just after the Black Panthers had declared war on police officers nationwide

Sure, they can have their own police, their own schools, but why stop there? Let's take it all the way:
