This is what is wrong with our city

Did you really expect anything less.

The judges, lawyers and pols stick together in this town.

At least she didn't kill or injury anyone.

On the otherhand she is really empowered now and God help the next officer who she has an encounter with.

Judge Charles Hayden does he hold an elected position?

This story made me angry, and demonstrates for the umpteenth time why Judges can't be elected in a one party town where twenty percent of the electorate or less participates in primaries: if he had found Parker guilty, he would have lost the Democratic Party's support and ultimately, his position.

I do hate the arrogance of our elected crookery in Philadelphia.

I prefer my corruption served up with a little more finesse not this ham-fisted, whatcha gonna do about it approach. Sure you're going to get away with it but where is the pride in a lie well told?

Your right, I always thought being a tv weather person was, you really don't have to look very deep to find some kind some kind of underhanded business going on in our city.
