Welcome to the Capital, no not DC, but Philly, the Homicide Capital of the World. With homicide rates skyrocketing like a Shuttle Launch, someone needs to step up and accomplish something.
Unfortunately Philly, this isn't Gotham City so we're not going to get a billionaire to hand out justice from a rocket car. Maybe i'm crazy, but usually, i expect policemen to protect and serve, and perhaps they do, but not well enough it seems. According to an editorial in the Daily News, it would seem that the police are okay with this self fulfilling prophecy, so somebody needs to get it done.
Unfortunately, Philadelphia only seem to want one thing, John Timoney. People in Philly need to step out of their shell, he's gone. But there has to be another person with top cop potential, there has to be somebody, but John Timoney is gone, get past it.
I pose a question of sociology, were things that good under his reign? Or are things just horrible now that we want what we once had? And, while we keep checking our rearview mirrors for the now Miami Chief, we're driving off the road here in the present... does anyone know how to drive this thing? Or do we just continue to spiral out of control?.
One thing is for sure, with the new mayor, there will be a new top cop, the question is twofold, who and is it too little too late?

I agree John Timoney is gone and Philly does need to stop checking the rearview mirrow for the now Miami Chief.
There is someone in the Police ranks with :
Angles
A Solid Equation
Relation Expressions
Measurement Points
AND.... A Performance Surface
The city must stop its idiosyncrasies this instant and give its citizens the reliance they pay for.
FIND him/her immediately.
