Cop killer has a spider tattoo on his hand: Unfortunately, many people in the area have spider tattoos on their hands. (It’s a prison tat.) Police mistakenly apprehended one suspect twice yesterday because of the hand art, but he was released. Officials are saying they’re using “broad power” to capture Officer Charles Cassidy’s murderer.

The "broad power" concept seemed interesting ......but.....the link to Philly.com seems broken.

There isn't much new news coming out in the online press about the "Charles Cassidy" murder case. I did see a few references on some of the Oct 31 and Nov 1 articles to an extensive manhunt with SWAT, helicopters, and all manner of LE resources. There was a little grumbling reported--but not much. One report said that black men in the areas being searched were not being allowed to wear hoodies. One video report I say showed LE kicking in a door to some place.
I'm concerned and curious about what is happening in Philladelphia (aka Killadelphia) right now. I get the sense from various stories that the PPD is on atear to find the murderer and is so focused on the manhunt that they just might be playing fast and loose with the rights of people in their path.
Anyone know what "broad power" means? Anyone know what is going on down on the ground in Philadelphia? Someone posted here yesterday about the feeling of anger they felt in City Hall.
Are the PPD guys under control? Or are they going wild commando? Or something in between?
One thing for sure is thatPhilly would not be asafe place for an OCer today. That is, of course, if it had the laws that Virginia has, where OC isperfectly legal. That raisesan interesting question: If this incident had happened in Alexandria...Hampton...Richmond....Va Beach....would OCbecome instantly prohibited on a defacto basis?
