Political Cartoon: Facebooking Philadelphia police

Daily takes from Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Signe Wilkinson.

As someone who has been mugged at gunpoint (though I did not ask to verify that the weapon was real), I am all in favor of having a robust police force to keep the peace. I believe that we don’t have to wait for the end of poverty before a fair, focused and well-supported police force can stem the violence. Having officers openly disparage 40% of the city’s population for their race, however, does not seem like the primo way of winning hearts and minds in what is going to be a tough fight to take back the city’s streets for all its citizens.

Editorial cartoons from this week include:

  1. Presidential slogans for 2020

  2. Philly’s Anti-Violence Plan

  3. Opposition research dirt
