Prayers for police officers, all Philadelphians during today’s crisis. Time for fundamental break with past: universal background checks, outlaw bump stocks & assault weapons, close loopholes. Need personal, cultural & political commitment to peace - or the violence will continue

The sad part is ppl can’t seem to get it. Even with all of the resources, instead they pretend we don’t have a problem. 😠

Reported by NBC 10 Police where doing a drug warrant. I doubt the they follow gun laws if they are dealing or doing drugs.

Whomever did this has broken numerous laws already on the books. How would another law have helped? Criminals don't obey laws. Dollars to doughnuts the perp has been arrested b4 for gun violence & released w slap on wrist. Throw the book at those who commit gun crimes.

Donate $1 to Marianne now and ask 10 friends to do the same to qualify her for these debates. She is the only candidate that has proposed a department of PEACE, and comphrensive policy that targets the root of issues. She not only talks about what - she talks about why.

Agree! & it’s also time to address the root causes. Psychological, emotional, Economic, and systemic issues creates these problems. It’s an integrative approach to politics.
