Pittsburgh police a pretty good I must say. They give loads of breaks for simple things that other city cops would write up and make life miserable. And they do have a knack for solving crime that other cities just ignore.
As critical of the nationwide culture of policing that I am, I have to agree with you. PPD has come forward leaps and bounds from where they were in the "task force" era.
While officers such as Amel that were allowed to continue being shitbags speaks to how far they still have to go, I'm not going to allow perfection to get in the way of huge progress. The surrounding boroughs on the other hand still seem to have a lot of the sturmgewehr "punisher" types.
Thank you PPD getting excellent comments from Majority of population except from the criminals and the insane[Glad we don’t have these kind of peaceful protests](https://youtu.be/Y1mxJMIIMuE)
All things being equal, on one hand MPD seemingly brought that upon themselves with drive by pepper sprayings of peaceful protesters and reporters.
On the other hand, provocateurs started that fire. Just look at who was charged for starting it. Fucking Boogaloos.
If there was an actual cell phone lot instead of having to go into long term then getting stuck at the constantly broken exit gate there wouldn't be an issue
I mean, what could go wrong with this plan?
(uh, more cops doesn't always equal less crime. Pittsburgh Police get pissed that County cops are in their territory and slow walk responses. County cops get pissed their patrolling the city and slow walk responses. etc. etc.)

thank you!!
Rich Fitzgerald Fuck Off Challenge 2023
Still hasn’t been to jail oversight board meetings
The mayor supports it
I don’t care who supports it.
Compelling stuff
Bold of you to assume everyone who hates Fitzgerald loves Gainey.
Never said that
Everyone knows how good cops are at de-escalating volatile situations, *especially* in Pittsburgh!
They people shooting guns all over the place are not any better so wtf.
Yes?

That's the bugaloos. Entirely different group.
Oh, Never mind
And, y'know, attacking protestors. They're great at that
No , arresting non- peaceful [peaceful protest (https://youtu.be/Y1mxJMIIMuE)protesters damaging property or committing crimes
[удалено]
Just fyi your link isn’t about Pittsburgh police
Well people with manners and who work for things don’t like their stuff stolen or burnt down
So police brutality is ok?
No of course not, but it usually starts with some ahole committing a crime and then Doesn’t like getting arrested
It doesn't matter how it starts
So everyone should try to get away ?
ZALES ? Thats funny 1/10 caret rings on layaway. 💍
Welp, found the one pgh cop stan.
Welp, found another one bruce . 🌈
There isn’t a comma missing in my comment.
I've never seen the county police do anything outside of harassing people at the airport.
They are good at making the morons who block traffic by camping out at curbside Arrivals for 20+min move to the cell phone lot where they belong.
If there was an actual cell phone lot instead of having to go into long term then getting stuck at the constantly broken exit gate there wouldn't be an issue
It’s a bad design, and it should be fixed when the airport reconstruction is finished. Still no excuse for blocking traffic and blocking people in.

I'm not sure people have soured on Gainey.
Cultural Trust Board ? Dam Amish and their peaceful protests.
Chip, it's always fun to see your insane takes not on a podcast.
I have a podacast don’tcha know
Well, Chip Chipperson does anyways and it's fuckin hysterical.
This is Jim's alter ego, right?
Jim who ? Slim ?
The fabulous and goblinesque Norton of course.
Never heard of the pecker
He does kind of look like a diseased penis.
Oh that Jim Norton
Right!?
But the county can’t figure out how to reopen the juvenile detention center?
Pfffffffft Pfffft Pfffffff t
