You voted for this. Until you stop allowing it, you’re doomed

@studioYMW The entire state of PA is the laughing stock of the country. Philadelphia is a joke....and Pittsburgh is not far behind....the recent 911 emergency service announcement where Sunday late late night 911 callers now need to leave a message actually made Natiobal News because of how ridiculous it is to leave a message to receive "emergency" service. Just another Pennsylvania BAD joke...like having a trans public chief medical officer, actually electing a severe stroke patient as a senator...and on and on.

They only care when its a controversial headline being a city official if it was a regular citizen oh crime never happens

Lay in that bed!!

[@imunchienandalusia]

and per KDKA , 28 officers retired in the last two weeks, 55 retired in 2023. This is not a good trend.

Take away the police's ability to police and suddenly they don't want to go to work.

Imagine importing 3rd world and being shocked when 3rd world spreads

Maybe, just maybe, check the homeless encampment that runs along the jail trail near that parking lot. I’m sure there is ALOT of criminal activity in that homeless encampment!

[@NicholasRizzio]

That parking lot is not downtown Pittsburgh. It’s in the Bluff/Uptown.

Dude just got out the jail

[@highdesertbiker]

Exactly it’s right next to the jail on the side of the highway

[@highdesertbiker]

I’m not super genius, but why wouldn’t you call 911

Gaineys build back better

1:22 whats a city employee doing with a LARGE amount of cash? Rayray probably be dealing.

[@darrelljackson5106]

The fact that there's no offices manning the sub stations is crazy. The fact that now they won't come whe you report a crime happening makes the city that much more unsafe. Driving around with lights on but windows up isn't community-based policing. I understand that you have officer shortage. Its time to get out and recruit and not just anybody. Need to start having town meetings to address the problem and ways to fix it that doesn't jeopardize public safety.

* Mandatory Training * Permits * Background check * Psych eval These should be the minimum requirements for owning guns.
