Penn asked the Philadelphia Police Department for immediate help to disband the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, a source familiar told The Daily Pennsylvanian. However, PPD declined, asking that the University provide proof that the encampment and the rally today, which is entering its fourth hour presents an imminent danger.

Probably because they only saw what was happening to other cops. If UPenn was the first, they would've jumped on it.

Someone needs to remind PPD that all cats are beautiful and they need to live up to that expectation.

Dang, it's a new month, I thought they would've wanted to easily pad their monthly quota of "beating people that aren't posing a threat at all"

Too early in the month for them to work, that's a May 28th job

Just need to have counter protesters show up before the police shut it down, I guess.

It's interesting, because unlike Columbia, Penn police are regular Philadelphia police. It's a police precinct specifically for Penn, not a private security force.

It's almost as if Police aren't a hive mind and make decisions as individual entities.

What the fuck? Philly Cops are notoriously horrible. Did they get a change of leadership or some shit? Or are they just looking at the news and thinking they don't need more bad publicity.

Remember, Philly cops blew up several houses in the 80's and kidnapped an infant for a photo op a couple years ago. Then all the diarrhea in between.

This is a manpower issue they don't have anyone right now.

I mean, I'd rather have police then not have them. Can't say I understand the people who think we'd be safer without them.

Addressing the causes of crime is a start. Income inequality, inadequate access to mental health and social services.

Abolishing cops isn't without its own questions to ask. Who should society recognize as the most worthy first responders?

I've met my local police. They were very nice and polite, I took a tour of the station, I saw their holding cell. All in all that was a good day.

LOL. The drooling credulity of an entire time zone, all in one little post. Bravo.

Can you prove to me without a doubt these particular cops are as you claim they are? Without resorting to stereotypes?

For the last time, you were arrested for masturbating in a Wendys drive through. That was not a police station tour.

I'd rather prevent crime personally. Cops don't do that. Proactive > Reactive.

afaik the aggressiveness of cops widely varies by jurisdiction. How a local force behaves is far too small a sample size.

AKA: a public relations play to look good and not actually indicative of how that force reacts to situations.

Such proof.

Reminder. being nice to you does not make someone a nice person.
