former policeman, police commissioner/mayor Frank Rizzo...and my wife Now Mr Rizzo , people liked to portray as racist, no he wasn't , he cracked anyone over the head, whether they be black, white, purple or orange who broke the law...Blacks just happen to commit crime, about 4 times as much as their white counterparts, so naturally they got cracked over the head more..Rizzo was a man made for his time, obviously his crime strategy be attacked today, but generally speaking, strong enforcement of the law,as he advocated is what is needed today..And visiting south phiily often, I came to meet blacks who liked Mr Rizzo, and appreciated his effort to keep their neighborhood safe..
We now have had the liberal idea of fighting crime for decades now, maybe the antitheses of Rizzo and a total unmitigated disaster..
