The police are involved in a huge lawsuit with the protestors, and residents of west philly who were tear gassed during the George Floyd protests. It's on-going still and it's not class action, but should cause some waves.

That's literally the exact opposite of what the OPs referring to. The police did see a crime being committed, they did something, and they were the ones who were sued.

Maybe that's why they've given up.

"they did something", what a low bar for you. They'd rather sadistically terrorize high schoolers protesting police brutality, than do a damn thing about the rising crime rate.

That's just going to be another payout from our taxes that'll cost some department unrelated to the PPD.
