Mural of Philly's former mayor, police commissioner defaced

PHILADELPHIA -- A day after the arrest of a man accused of defacing a statue of a former Philadelphia mayor and police commissioner, a mural of the same figure has been defaced with paint.

Police said officers saw a group spray paint "Kill killer cops" on the large south Philadelphia mural of Frank Rizzo shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday. Officers pursued the group on foot and arrested one male, also recovering spray paint and masks discarded by the group.

The mural also had a large splotch of white paint on the face and the words "RIP David," -- an apparent reference to David Jones, 30, who was shot in the back after being stopped for driving a dirt bike recklessly on a city street and allegedly pulling a gun on a police officer.

On Friday, a man was arrested on charges of spray painting the words "Black power" on the statue of Rizzo outside a government building in Center City. A man from Maplewood, N.J., was charged Wednesday with disorderly conduct for throwing eggs at the statue.

Rizzo, who served as mayor from 1972 to 1980 and died in 1991, has been praised by supporters as a devoted public servant unafraid to speak his mind, but criticized by detractors who said he alienated minorities both as police commissioner and mayor.

On Monday, Democratic Councilwoman Helen Gym called for removal of the bronze statue of a waving Rizzo, which was donated to the city and unveiled in 1999. Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney said Tuesday it's the "right time" for a conversation about the statue. A year ago, an anti-police brutality group launched an online petition to take it down.

Jane Golden, executive director of Mural Arts Philadelphia, wrote a newspaper column saying it was time to have a public conversation about what to do with the Rizzo mural.

Longtime Philly Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky argued in a column last week on philly.com that "when the critics say his legacy is only brutality and racism, they ignore projects he pushed: the Center City commuter tunnel, the Gallery, the Mummers Museum, and the African American Museum in Philadelphia."

This all comes amid the recent national dialogue and, in some cases nationally, removal of statues that some find offensive, following the fallout from last weekend's protest in Charlottesville, Va.

Lifelong South Philly resident Brian Ercolani said he was "disgusted" by the defacement of the Rizzo mural.

"It's a cowardly act to come here in the middle of the night and do this," he told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "It almost feels personal to me.

You're damn right it's personal cracker ass cracker..

The point is that we want symbols of white supremacy taken away AND things get done for black people.

Ofcourse but the critics in this thread feel like it a waste of time to even remove them.

for the most part most niggas wont win cause niggas react emotionally and not logically..

like @Fosheezy jus stated..

we pick the wrong shit to be in an uproar about.. and even go about addressin it in the wrong way..

why??!

too fuckin emotional..

like what logical reason does a nigga have to be.. NEED to be out there in that crowd while these white people are goin at it wit EACH OTHER!?

so this system that we are the "principle victims" in is crumbling from WITHIN and we wanna get in the way of this why??!

unless u wanna secretly turn the attention back onto us i dont see the logic here..

There is no logic.

I gave up tryna make these points.

Some niggas just prefer to be canon fodder.

Then cry and expect black ppl as a whole to support them for getting fucked up after they CHOSE to jump in a damn hole with no goals

"Lets fight with no goal or plan and ally with anybody because I just have to show them (as they fight each other)" ...then police usher your group into a Trojan horse situation and are told to stand down. You become the photo op embarrassment for black ppl, get your ass beat, and go to jail for your troubles.

Oh....and if you aren't down to jump in the hole with no goal,well you were obviously scared.

Bingo.

But black people not getting anything so that's why they feel the way they do. I don't think either side of the argument is wrong though.

I've seen couple ppl talkin bout reparations. SMH. Man gtfoh. America aint finna give niggas no reparations. They will buy niggas a 1 way ticket back to Africa b4 they pay any reparations.

So do you believe that it is not worth fighting for? Niggas is out here fighting to take down statues that they didn't care about last week I'm just stating that those same white people that think they are doing us a favor by protesting this and advocating to get these statues taken down would never support anything that would truly get black people in a better situation, like reparations

Surely, you do not believe that these counter-protests do not help black people at all, do you?

Explain to me how does it help? Have our problems disappeared since the removal of these statues? How has removing statues improved black peoples condition in this country? Should black people forgive all of the atrocities committed against us by this country and still being committed til this day because some white people are willing to protest to get some statues taken down?

Yeah i hate ignorant niggaz like you. The system of white supremacy wont change overnite. You have to chip away as much as you can. Aslong as the mainstream media's focused on white nationlist, and confederate monuments are coming down, racism loses. They are slowly losing power. But niggaz like you cant see the bigger picture bc its not happening overnite. FOH

So taking down statues is going to stop racist from being racist? Dumb niggas like you said the same shit would happen with intergration and decades later you still facing the same problems. You love white people more than yourself

No. You're slowly taking away their power. White ppl have controlled everything in this country, from money, laws & more importantly HISTORY. The more ppl from other races come 2 realize the atrocities white ppl have commited, the less control white ppl will have over the narritive. Those statues are just a reminder of white supremacy. Use ur brain negro

so racism gone stop? ok

Wtf No one said this will stop racism. Racism gets attacked on all sides, that means policy, institutions, monuments etc

 

[CottonCitySlim]

I would remove them and put them in a museum hat tells the truth about americas racist history

 

[BobOblah]

Since white supremacists like to cry about freedom of speech (right wingers yesterday accused Boston protestors of being anti-free speech for sending nazis packing)

It's a hot topic. Most people are just energy to be directed. This is where they're being directed. They gon go.

Even with that said i'm all for the symbology being removed. In the long term it's a good thing as long as as the history isn't erased from literature and national consciousness.

I'm just not for some of the dumb fuck non-logic of putting action behind thoughts with no goal and being the fool jumping between 2 enemies fighting just because your emotions are running high in the moment.
