Perusing the Inquirer

This is the mindset of Philadelphian's, especially those entrenched in the Democratic machine that is Philly politics:

Re: "Make it the people's box," editorial, Feb. 20:
I am writing in regard to the mayor's box at the sports stadiums. I have never sat in one; however, members of my organization have. Whenever an officer is involved in an extremely noteworthy situation, such as being shot or severely injured, I have been contacted to have these officers go to the next game. I have also been invited to join them.
The mayor also lets the officers invite their police partners.
The reason why the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 5 endorsed - and continues to support - Mayor Street is due directly to how he cares and ensures that our injured officers are treated with respect.

Here's the deal, the mayor of Philly used his taxpayer-funded luxury box to raise funds, or at least take care of potential donors. I find it amazing that the president of a local FOP would have the balls to to say that officer are treated with respect, this is the same mayor who recently awarded French politicians a Liberty Bell award who are going to name a street after infamous cop killer Mumia abu Jamal.

And of course, what good is a morning if you can't start it off with the always despicable Tony Auth.
