Even though I do not like krasners policies, violent crime is up considerably nationwide. Pair that with a lousy police union no shit the stats are bad in Philly. This was a political stunt by the GOP because they are mad Philly has so much sway with large elections.

How? Impeachments are for people using their office to commit crimes, for example, bribing foreign leaders with military support in exchange for political favors, or instigating violence in support of something like a fake electors plot to overthrow the election you lost. These are just random examples.
Did Krasner commit a crime, or do you just not approve of his platform?

He only won his first time by being in a crowded primary and getting a lot of donors from outside the state. The second time was because Vega wasn't a great candidate, and even then his percentage of the electorate was abysmal. Yet again he was entirely dependent on donors from outside the state, and that time he violated several campaign finance laws.

To see a competent reformist DA look no further than Jack Stollsteimer in Delco, who unlike Krasner has actually accomplished the goal of reducing homicides and shootings, while diverting people out of the criminal justice system.

Well there was that time when Krasner requested a sentence reduction for a man giving a life sentence for the brutal murder of a husband and wife. At the hearing, they blatantly lied to the judge saying that the victims now grown child was notified about the hearing and had no problem with it. Total bullshit, never notified, never agreed to it. Somehow stories such as this isn't worth the Philadelphia Inquirer's time.

That's not novel at all.
But in your situation, they get convicted and serve time. They come out poorer than when they went in. They weren't rehabilitated. There's no support structure for them after release. They go back to what they need to do to survive. The cycle continues. But that's the point isn't it? That's the whole school to prison pipeline. That's the whole reason for for profit prisons. That's why cops make so much money. Because crime pays.

It’s almost like you don’t understand that our politics actually determine how we live in a society.
Just like how a government should be run by citizens of a country, who work in the best interest of the citizens of that country. “Politics” is just the word we use to describe our own governance.
So when someone gets impeached, it’s almost as if society as a whole is saying, “hey, that shit you did right there, not cool dude” of course, that’s only assuming that our political leaders actually reflect the values of its citizens.

That's 244 less than the per 10,000 rate for the entire country says it probably should be. 4.94 murders per 10,000 residents is 744. Meaning Philadelphia's murder rate is lower than the national average in a per Capita sense.
A town near you, Bensalem has a murder rate of 6.6 per 10,000 residents in 2022. Well above that of national average as well as Philly's rate.
So, you're either willingly ignoring the data that shows Krasner is doing a better job than your feelings (as well as your own local DA) tell you at least for this metric, or you're just yet another blinded fool being led around by the nose by whichever idiot in the box is your flavor of the week.

Thanks proving you don't know how to do math. There was only 1 year in that time period where homicides hit 500.
In the 80s it averaged 351
In the 90s it averaged 411
in the 2000s it averaged 340
in the 10s it averaged 304
in the 3 years of 20s its averaged 525
If we just want to look at Krasners term in office 2018-present its averaged 457 a year. Other crime stats are also up at by dramatic amounts, such as car jacking, and retail theft, worse than those average rates in the 90s.

By any measure, that is a problem. There are an enormous amount of districts doing more successfully with far less money.
I get your statement that prisoner recidivism is a problem. It is.. but again the educational opportunities there are usually ignored or unused.

I'm third gen Philadelphian, my adult kids live here, as do I. Krasner isn't incompetent, cops are entitled infants who can't stand oversight and have been on a soft strike for years. Incidentally, the crime stats have been dropping for decades, although the gun violence rate is a serious problem that police have never historically been capable of solving or deterring. Fortunately we do have a lot of data supporting funding public education, healthcare, housing being the way to reduce crimes committed by working class people.
Also why don't those whining about Krasner ever post about wage theft and white collar crime and corporate bail outs, and paying for abusive cops on taxpayers dime? Let's take those fines out of police pension funds and let them start policing their own behaviors.

I think it's hard to judge the actions of others through your own personal lens.
- Police funding is up 33% since 2015. Or almost 200 million even while the size of the dept has been reduced. (More vacancies)
- 0 libraries are open on the weekend in Philly. So should we keep throwing money at police?
I think a drastic approach is needed. Remove blight in neighborhoods, build new schools and playgrounds, build entire new neighborhoods with local labor. Start a jobs program and teach new skills.
Unfortunately, you and I understand personal responsibility and how to live with others. We recognize long term consequences for our actions but these high schools kids do not. It truly needs to be a war time effort to right this ship. Like IEP in schools, the same system needs to be created.
My basis for this extreme help is realizing you just can't live in this world without money. Hunger makes people desperate. You and I might channel that energy differently but there's a whole range of different intelligence out there. That's why mental illness is found in higher rates in prison populations versus the whole population.

Damn, nailed it.
Oh, I'll definitely be around for when they show up hours later to file a report.
Seriously though. I don't subscribe to the whole ACAB thing. I do believe the good ones must begin to hold the bad ones accountable though. There are good ones. Though hey're mostly the rookies that haven't had to let their senior officers get away with something yet. As soon as they allow their buddies to get away with something they'd be a hard ass against anyone else for, they become a bad cop.
They're people and have their flaw like anyone else. Because of their job, they must be held to at least the same standards they try and hold the rest of people to.
Many are full on pussies. Especially the small town ones.
They're generally the worst. Haha! Forr instance, the punks who just want to bully others because the badge somehow gives them the right to. Most of those would get trashed if they took their badge off. Chicken shit losers.
Then there's the whole Uvalde group. Each one every day until the one where they kiss their service weapon family goodbye for the last time should be reminded of their cowardice.

Oh I see my mistake among all the sub comments I thought you were replying to electr, my bad.
So your comment is in agreement with electr, then why are you calling me a troll for not understanding why someone would think electr is right wing based off their comments?

I have had some great conversations with bike cops, here in Pittsburgh. I've met my share of assholes, as well as reasonable cops. I think you're right, the good cops need to hold the bad cops accountable.

Make fun of little dick energy cops part time. /s
Thinking of going back to school to be a domestic violence councilor. I'll probably make more headway getting the bad cops of the streets than the "good" cops do.
