May 2019

i cried for days. And it was a black wannabe white mayor who ordered it. I went to school with that jerk. How he ever became mayor was beyond me then and now. The mayors office and police force were so corrupt and racist back then. I wonder if much has changed. I moved from my city of "brotherly love" permanently with no intention of ever going back. I did find a sign of hope with Mayor Nutter tho I do not believe much has changed with the police force.
