I’m sorry, the city of Philadelphia can’t drop teargas from helicopters on peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters and at the same time protect groups of bat-wielding white men who are assaulting people and not expect us to demand a complete reform of policing in this city.

White people in Philly: If a mural depicting Black people goes up in your neighborhood and your first reaction is to feel that it doesn’t belong there, you are part of the problem. Investigate those feelings, because you are absolutely taking that bias into your daily life.
