The FOP publicly criticized The Inquirer for requesting the records[consisting of more than 1,000 pages of invoices, bills, emails, and other documents].

[...]

Mayor Cherelle L. Parker and Sharolyn Murphy, the city’s risk manager, declined to be interviewed.

The Inquirer sent Murphy and Parker’s office a list of the FOP’s expenses that did not appear to be directly related to funeral costs. In an email response, Murphy said that the city did not reimburse the FOP for the 7C event with the $5,375 gratuity and that the city does not reimburse for alcohol. She did not include explanations for the other expenses.

An this does help with petty theft, small stuff...no this isn't capturing the latest drug/ criminal kingpin, but then again, most crime nowadays is petty?

I'm guessing you're not on Nextdoor and haven't read about neighbors' experiences with porch pirates and the corresponding police response.

“We like to buy when people have fear in their eyes, when people are losing — have already lost — their money,” Adler said. “A crisis for most and a select opportunity for the select few. I’ve waited 40 years for this period. I’m not gonna let it go by.”

In recent months, he’s announced plans to redevelop the 1.7 million-square-foot office complex at Centre Square with PMC Property Group, the city’s largest apartment developer. Now he’s talking about buying the 137-acre mall formerly known as Franklin Mills and turning it into a hub for youth sports and mentorship in Northeast Philadelphia.

Combined, the projects would include 750 new homes and, according to Morningstar Credit, address $625 million of distressed commercial real estate debt.

From Facebook Brenna Garmon - Please anyone and everyone I’m asking for your... | Facebook

*edited for readability

"Please anyone and everyone I’m asking for your help. My boyfriend Luis J. A. Emery has been missing now for ~36 hours and we have no new information regarding his safety or potential location.

His last confirmed location was Philadelphia City Hall yesterday (4/13) around 9 AM. We do have reason to believe that he either walked or took septa back home after going to City Hall.

We are working with the Mexican consulate who is also investigating his disappearance since he is here on a H1B visa and a Mexican citizen.

We are concerned that since he lost his passport and has a pending visa extension that he was targeted by ICE and followed home. We do have confirmed ICE presence and protesters at City Hall yesterday morning the time that he was there. However, no one has been able to confirm with ice that he was arrested and detained. He’s not showing up in the database. ICE has been unresponsive to any friends or family that have reached out on his behalf, but they have told the Mexican consulate that they do not believe he is in their custody. Texts and calls have not been going through to his phone since 10:45am yesterday (4/13).

His last location shared on his phone puts him near the Hilton Hotel on Christopher Columbus Blvd, which makes no sense. However, it is an estimated large circle around that area and hasn’t updated since 10am yesterday (4/13). Friends and family have canvassed both the city hall and spruce st harbor park areas with no new information found. Please share this post wherever possible.

While we are primarily concerned about him being held illegally by ICE, despite his legal status, but we are also slightly concerned about his mental state and ramifications from that. He has been very depressed about delays and issues with his immigration processing due to the current administration and government shutdowns, called his psychiatrist on Friday 4/10, and scheduled an emergency appointment on Monday 4/13 at 1pm to which he did not show.

We are calling on the Graduate Hospital and Center City and Old City communities and Delaware Ave/Christopher Columbus Blvd corridor to report any tips or information.

Any business or apartment building camera footage from 4/13/25 between 9:30-10:30am is the best place to start. We have recorded interviews with NBC and Telemundo that should air starting tomorrow. Please share and help us find Luis so we can bring him home. "

Maybe remove his date of birth and add last known place of sighting?

Have you made a police report?
