I don't like Krasner. I don't know why y'all voted him in for a second term. Point to whichever academic studies you want, but his actions (downgrading charges, gutting the DA's office, souring the office's relationship with police, gaslighting Philadelphians about our crime problem) have absolutely contributed to the city's rising crime. However, this impeachment trial is a total farce, and it's not the way to operate in a democracy.

Well, his only opposition in the primary was endorsed by the police union, and then in the general it was a guy with a section on his website called "the girl in my bathtub" regarding a dead woman found in his bathtub.

But primarily he won a second term because, while nobody likes him, most of the city sees firsthand that our police department is delinquent and we don't buy their side of the story regarding the spike in crime.

Neither side has been remarkably candid. Don't conflate my distaste with Krasner with any sort of love for the PPD.

As if Vega, one of the most notoriously crooked people in Philadelphia in the last 20 years was supposed to be better?
