Way back machine erroring out this AM so I couldn't create a non pg link.

> Some Allegheny County police officers may be headed to Downtown to bolster the law enforcement presence amid escalating concerns about safety and violence.

> According to multiple sources, county Executive Rich Fitzgerald has offered to provide a contingent of county police officers to supplement the work being done by city police.

> Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey is believed to be receptive to the proposal, which has yet to be announced publicly. Mr. Fitzgerald discussed the idea during a recent Pittsburgh Cultural Trust board meeting, sources said.

thank you!!

I mean, what could go wrong with this plan?

(uh, more cops doesn't always equal less crime. Pittsburgh Police get pissed that County cops are in their territory and slow walk responses. County cops get pissed their patrolling the city and slow walk responses. etc. etc.)

Yeah this always works

The mayor supports it

Compelling stuff

I don’t care who supports it.

Pfffffffft Pfffft Pfffffff t

Everyone knows how good cops are at de-escalating volatile situations, especially in Pittsburgh!

Cultural Trust Board ? Dam Amish and their peaceful protests.

Pittsburgh police a pretty good I must say. They give loads of breaks for simple things that other city cops would write up and make life miserable. And they do have a knack for solving crime that other cities just ignore.

Welp, found the one pgh cop stan.

And, y'know, attacking protestors. They're great at that

I've never seen the county police do anything outside of harassing people at the airport.

Welp, found another one bruce . 🌈

There isn’t a comma missing in my comment.

As critical of the nationwide culture of policing that I am, I have to agree with you. PPD has come forward leaps and bounds from where they were in the "task force" era.

While officers such as Amel that were allowed to continue being shitbags speaks to how far they still have to go, I'm not going to allow perfection to get in the way of huge progress. The surrounding boroughs on the other hand still seem to have a lot of the sturmgewehr "punisher" types.

No , arresting non- peaceful [peaceful protest (https://youtu.be/Y1mxJMIIMuE)protesters damaging property or committing crimes

Chip, it's always fun to see your insane takes not on a podcast.

Thank you PPD getting excellent comments from Majority of population except from the criminals and the insaneGlad we don’t have these kind of peaceful protests

All things being equal, on one hand MPD seemingly brought that upon themselves with drive by pepper sprayings of peaceful protesters and reporters.

On the other hand, provocateurs started that fire. Just look at who was charged for starting it. Fucking Boogaloos.

Well people with manners and who work for things don’t like their stuff stolen or burnt down

ZALES ? Thats funny 1/10 caret rings on layaway. 💍

The Boogaloos ? Wow haven’t heard of the Boogaloos in Decades

This is Jim's alter ego, right?

I have a podacast don’tcha know

That's the bugaloos. Entirely different group.

They are good at making the morons who block traffic by camping out at curbside Arrivals for 20+min move to the cell phone lot where they belong.

Oh, Never mind

Well, Chip Chipperson does anyways and it's fuckin hysterical.

Jim who ? Slim ?

The fabulous and goblinesque Norton of course.

Never heard of the pecker

So police brutality is ok?

No of course not, but it usually starts with some ahole committing a crime and then Doesn’t like getting arrested

He does kind of look like a diseased penis.

Oh that Jim Norton

If there was an actual cell phone lot instead of having to go into long term then getting stuck at the constantly broken exit gate there wouldn't be an issue

Right!?

It doesn't matter how it starts

So everyone should try to get away ?

Police shouldn't brutalize someone, ever. By definition, that is wrong and unnecessary. Violent action must be a last resort. And of course, the law more or less says that - but after a few hundred Trayvon Martins and Breanna Taylors et. al., one should understand that's not a realistic representation of what happens. Our cops kill extremely frequently, and it's not on the victims most of the time.

Trying to "get away" is not cause for brutalizing, beating, murdering, or otherwise treating a suspect cruelly and unusually. They're innocent by definition until proven otherwise, though conservatives love to accidentally forget constitutional rights like that one.

Paid leave, a promotion or a job at another department, that about sums up the consequences for 95% of police killings. Do you think that's an okay consequence for murdering the wrong person in their bed by accident - a promotion? A new job? They had to drag Chauvin kicking and screaming through the courts for him to see justice; if that's not emblematic to you I don't know what to say. I genuinely hope you're a troll and not actually this clueless

It’s a bad design, and it should be fixed when the airport reconstruction is finished. Still no excuse for blocking traffic and blocking people in.

Bold of you to assume everyone who hates Fitzgerald loves Gainey.

Never said that

You realize that “getting away” isn’t a crime that’s punishable by death, don’t you?

almost got away
