- There's a movement to take down the statue to controversial former police commissioner and Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo. We talked to Philadelphians on Aug. 17 to see whether they thought it should stay or go.
Keeping the city safe is racist, yo. My wife's son shouldn't have to fear for his life every time he robs a store.
You must be a poor white person
You can move it anywhere you want to move it. History will repeat itself. There will be another Rizzo....are you gonna move that person's statue as well?!
Lol.
Sure why not?
Who cares? Statues are stupid anyway.
Some of the comments by the younger people in this video ( too young to remember) are ignorant of the facts. Educate yourselves instead of just parroting what someone else said. Confederate monuments should be moved, but if you remove every monument of anyone who EVER did anything to offend anyone, there will be nothing left. We are ALL human, good and bad.
Are you black?
How is he different from a confederate leader
The first guy makes a good point. I wouldn’t want Louis Farrakhan anywhere in the city of Philadelphia.
Frank Rizzo, the Jerky Boys made him famous , "FRANK RIZZO"
Removing the mural or the statue of Frank Rizzo is an insult to my Italian American friends, it better not happen !
Mark Rein ahahahaha. Cry about it
...
So, all Italian Americans are racist segregationist Democrats like Rizzo?
Frank rizzo was for law and justice. Great mayor and PC. "It stays" as he was a city figure and a great man for all law abiding people..
DommoPA racist pos he was
That didn't aged well
He was an amazing man. Stood up to the filth in our city
If you were more or less a law abiding citizen of Philly when Frank Rizzo headed the PPD and later was Mayor, you had nothing to fear from the police. True "Frank's Boys" could be heavy handed at times, but almost only when you did something seriously wrong.
I wish he was still here for starters, a great guy that did alot for this city...I'd much rather be living in philly back then with frank as mayor then these days ...I am philly born and raised and still here for now....but I cant wait to get AWAY.
Why hasn't the media in Philly talked about the sculpture of activist Octavius Catto that will be reveled on 9/26/17 just feet away from the Rizzo sculpture? Is all this coverage about Rizzo and now the black power pik a distraction? If the Rizzo statue comes down or moved then so should the "All Wars Memorial to Colored Soldiers and Sailors" at 20th & the Parkway, "Phila Stars Negro League" at Belmont & Parkside and the African American Museum at 7th & Arch. How about the sculpture's for Richard Allen,Joe Frazier,Julius Erving and Wilt Chamberlain? There are 1700 sculpture's in Philly,more then there are in Washington DC. I think all the sculpture's should be moved to the neighborhoods where these people grew up in. Tourists come to Philly to see history from the past not today's protests of hate.
Why?
Your argument is i like rizzo so if they take down his statue then there shouldnt be a black history museum...
The black history museum never oppressed a whole people and disproportionatly arrested minorities. I get that life was better easier for the italian americans etc. (basiclly caucasion communities) but cant people step back and think how it was for other groups during this time. Tbh i think people want to think that they care alot more than they actually do and when these protests are over not much will have changed :/
You cannot be this stupid. Virtually impossible
If they’re going to put a statue of Frank Rizzo up, they should at least put up statues of Sol Rosenberg and Henry Kissel.
What about Mike?
(Mike who???)
Mike Derooky,
you got any painting for me or what?
DId i miss a video of him making racist comments?Take his statue down because some people think he was a racist even though no proof?Lets damage a statue because i think my opinion is right and dont care what others think? Come on this is geting ridiculous next we will be riping down William penn statue because we dont like his religous veiws pathetic
Hey I kid you not the blacks are talking about that too statements made that Wm Penn was a slave owner lol a Quaker slave owner lol how fuckin dumb can someone be ....also Gen. George Washington
Frank Rizzo was no racist. Ppl say that he was because his police force was tough on crime. Yes, they were known to rough ppl up, but right or wrong it wasn't just blacks it was all ethnicities. Rizzo was a Democrat and had a lot of black support, but you never hear about that nowadays. I know lots of minorities who looked forward to Rizzo becoming mayor again. The #'s were in his favor & he would've won too, had he not died. Ed Rendell became mayor by default. Rizzo would've crushed him at the poles.
Well I'm here because I found a news paper clipping in something that belonged to my dad. My last name is also Rizzo. I have no contact with anyone who can really shed light on it for me. But everything I've seen points to he's my dad's uncle. So "great uncle"
Now I know why my fucking nose is so big 🤌 🤌
Well June 3 2020 its gone
Think of it this way. If you did something great in your lifetime. Something amazing, but also some bad things. And somone erected you a monument for the great thing you did. Would you be ok of the removal of your statue because of some things that you did.
Yes.
That mural sucks anyway.
Oh wow pennlive never told me they have a UA-cam. I follow you guys in a email but I'm subscribing your YT today.
We need more Frank Rizzos
It should go away
Get rid of it
I agree. Forget the statue, fix the real problem, criminal and discriminatory behavior.
The Movement moved him
One of the saddest things today in society is that someone, somewhere, will be offended by anything. It's a freaking statue. Get over yourselves, move on & stop trying to rewrite history. It's sad that in today's society you constantly have to walk on eggshells so you don't "offend" anyone.
Remove it and put it in a museum
LEAVE THE STATUE AS IS.
🧐😳🛐🔁🚧🚧☣☢🛢💉💊🚸😶🙄😑🚧🚧
The FOOTAGE, is Quite telling...
Complexion for the Protection.
That but is what's dividing us. That but, ain't allowed to the picnic. That but ain't love... And that but AINT family. So watch that "Yeah. BUT....."
🤦🏾♀️
he was a devil in the flesh.
if you're 2.
i vote that Frank Rizzo statue stay up
sorry madam, cities the world over including Philidelphia are NOT being diversified, on the contrary they are being compelled to sign up to the exact same set of narrow socio political rules that are calculated to promote global monoculture.
Lets spray it
I don't disagree with me at all!
Rizzo statue should stay
The man dedicated his life to the public service of Philadelphia, for decades as a cop, then commissioner, and then mayor. He was voted into office by the people of Philly. As a cop he encountered the worst of it and faced it head on, taking no sh-t from anyone. He was a man's man, a boss. Simply put, if you did no wrong under his watch then you were just fine. I would have loved to have seen this rioting attempted during his watch as either commissioner or mayor, the jails would have been overflowing before the light of dawn. Enough is enough of this nonsense, speak up Philadelphians, ALL Philadelphians! Put the dam statue back.
Why is it never mentioned that he died meeting black leaders ?
Melt it and Put an eagle statue 🦅 or a bear
Bada Bing Bada Boom
Stay up.
Judge not lest ye be judged
I knew him personally and he was an awesome guy and I was young and I would have followed him anywhere❤ he kept our city safe
Take it down!
I would never say "destroy the statues." I would remove it, and just place it where it may belongs...
A MUSEUM 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😑😑
What's done is done... Yet no one should be subjected to the bad and the ugly EVERYDAY. Just because of a drop of good. If you want to be proud of rizzo and his MANY accomplishments. Its your history and right. Just KNOW AND ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE HISTORY...
He was mostly about getting drug dealers out of Philadelphia. What's wrong with that ? And I was a drug addict LOL and I was advocating for him❤
Trump loves Rizzo
And so do I
100 % stay!!!!!When Rizzo was Mayor you could leave your windows and doors open!!!! Try that today!! Trump 2020
If he was so much of a icon why was it up for so long! Lmfao
what?!
"You're a crumb bum."
hpw can you be a great mayor when you get recalled? and he shouldnt have killed those kids
Aaaaaaand its gone.

No. Statue stay up
The first guy must’ve majored in False Equivalence at Temple
I disagree with this gaggle of uppity antiquated farm equipment. I'd love a Farrakahn statue.
I see the two black people that talked about him are really the racist he was in Italian from Italy. He had a black for 10 years. And now they took that statue downwait until you see the ones we're going to be putting up on privately owned
please speak english if you're going to write in it.
Need to make it bigger.
Worse enemies pure hate and acting normal the statue should stay huh.
Congratulations! You show your ignorance. Why don't you think for yourself instead of letting the "mainstream" media tell you what to think and do. Besides, as a black person, why don't you deal with your own prejudice and bigotry directed against whites and Jews?
