Both Attytood and Philadelphia Will Do have already commented about Commissioner Johnson's clarion call for 10,000 black men to hit the streets and deter crime, but I figured I'd start a thread here too, especially since a mayoral candidate's name appears in the story:
Democratic mayoral candidate Michael Nutter, who is the favorite to win the November election to succeed Street, said he supported any effort to reduce crime.
"I think any effort to organize and rally the community to fight crime, especially black men, is important and should be actively supported," Nutter said. "We need black men in the community to not only stand up and take action in the neighborhoods, but also to reach out to many of the young black men who are involved in violence and help them turn their lives around."
And to answer Attytood's question:
Johnson said the training and patrols will be offered citywide and open to anyone, but he believes there's a special need for African-American men in Philadelphia to get involved.
The Kick-Off is October 21st at the Liacouras Center.

Oh ! boy same old sterotype nonesense. Read the word (black) and a social phoneme phobia generates.
I don't know what critics see but I know a white man's help would be appreciated in this city of defiant disorder.
