Let us stand firm for our rights as citizens, for manliness and courage win the day.

We’ll stand firmly behind our officers by guaranteeing full legal defense when they act in good faith and providing the direct, clear policy clarity they need to protect our neighborhoods without second-guessing. While state limits like the Tort Claims Act set boundaries no mayor can unilaterally override, I will leverage every administrative, contractual, and executive tool in City Hall to ensure our officers aren't left out to dry when they do their jobs by the book. That starts by directing the City Solicitor’s Office (our law department) to vigorously defend any officer targeted in civil suits when they act in good faith and follow department policy. During collective bargaining negotiations with the Fraternal Order of Police, we will solidify legal defense funding, guarantee rock-solid administrative due process, and ensure robust post-incident care for our men and women in blue. Above all, we will eliminate the vague, timid guidelines that force cops to second-guess split-second safety calls. By providing unambiguous enforcement directives under our 'Proportional Force Plus' standard, we protect our officers from unnecessary legal exposure while giving them the absolute confidence required to take back our streets. 

Under my 'Proportional Force Plus' standard, we are backing our officers by giving them every shield, advantage, and piece of armor needed to take total control of a dangerous encounter before it escalates. Under me, cops are done playing defense and our men and women in blue shouldn't be forced into a fair fight or left relying on outdated gear; they deserve maximum protection and backup. They also need to have an absolute 'Right to Try' cutting-edge, less-lethal innovation options to stop criminals cold. Let me be clear, we don’t want to kill our criminals, but to subject them to harsh consequences after they commit a crime. All I need is one example and there will be no thug left in Philly because they will changed their behavior overnight. In addition to high-tech firearms, we will equip our department with the full spectrum of modern non-lethal technology—from electronic Tasers, muzzle attachments like The Alternative, beanbag rounds, and 40mm foam batons, to pepper-ball launchers, Kevlar BolaWrap tethers, restraining blankets, and rapid wrist-binding systems. When paired with advanced ground-control tactics derived from mixed martial arts, wrestling holds, pressure-point defense and elimination of the threat tactics, our officers will bridge the gap between verbal warnings and deadly force, giving them the tools to safely subdue combative subjects while keeping themselves out of harm's way. I don’t have a problem with ending the life of a criminal where the officer had no other option. Police have been on trial in this city for the past 25 years, those days are gone. 

How do we get around Uncle Larry’s office? Look, it’s all or nothing. We either put the criminals behind bars, or we go another four years playing around with them. You are on this page because you don’t want to keep doin’ the mess around. So, I will stop the revolving door for criminals by bypassing the District Attorney's office through direct partnerships with federal prosecutors, funding dedicated police task forces, and coordinating directly with federal interior immigration enforcement. I must support and defend the Constitution of the United States, Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter against all enemies, foreign and domestic, bearing true faith and allegiance to the same. To fulfill this oath, this administration will utilize its full executive authority to restore public safety—strategically reallocating municipal law enforcement resources, tightening city budget allocations to non-cooperative prosecutorial units, and publicly leveraging the mayoral platform to hold failing justice system actors directly accountable to the citizens of Philadelphia. We will no longer allow political ideology to compromise public safety; those who weaponize the justice system to protect criminals instead of victims, because we need to love the criminals, will find the full, unyielding legal and administrative weight of the mayor's office standing directly in their way. In other words, we will use every legal, federal, and budgetary leverage point available to bypass an uncooperative DAO and hold failing justice system actors directly accountable. I cannot reiterate this enough that the days of “catch and release” and “cashless bail” are over. 

 I believe that gradually lowering the city's heavy BIRT keeps residents and employers from fleeing to the suburbs and other parts of the country that do not penalize their own businesses. Businesses will stop leaving for Red States and Counties. It also collects millions in delinquent property taxes and brings in cash without imposing new burdens. I will review municipal agency operations to eliminate operational redundancies, optimize local governance, regulate the issuance of new public debt to mitigate systemic financial liabilities, and restructure municipal retirement obligations to stabilize long-term fiscal commitments and prevent fixed overhead from encroaching upon the city's general operating fund. The days of our out-of-control city debt are officially over if elected. By structurally starving uncooperative agencies of discretionary funding while aggressively enforcing local tax collection, this administration will leverage the full executive powers of the Home Rule Charter to ensure that municipal operations finally serve the hard-working taxpayers of Philadelphia, rather than funding the political agendas of the well-connected. 

No student wants to end up in jail! In my opinion, the reason why our kids today look so confused and depressed is that teaching structure, order and discipline have disappeared from the school system. We’ve tried for the last 25 years attempting to rid them of concrete thought; good and bad, right and wrong, up and down, left and right, etc., and with this erosion of objective truth they have lost the ability to be decisive because we have failed in giving them foundations. This is moral relativism, where anything can be anything, and we are stopping this disastrous education system. We have taught them to be uncertain, rather than certain; we have shown them how to be followers, rather than leaders;and we have programmed them, rather than deprogram them from agenda. How did we go from "what is the area of an object" to "do you see an object"? To protect good kids from the bullies, I will issue an executive directive utilizing localized law enforcement and strict board oversight to remove chronically disruptive and truant students from standard classrooms into secure alternative education programs, ensuring that good, hardworking schoolchildren will finally feel safe in their own schools. We will also encourage the best students with High School Diplomas to join the military, federal agencies and departments and civil servants, so that they can have a career after coming out, a nice 401k plan and pension so that they can retire with ease. We also need to crack down on the flash mobs and on the first day of the school year if elected, under my administration, all students in the Philadelphia School System will participate in a digital facial recognition program which will be incorporated into their student ID. By implementing a tap-enabled electronic NFC card system where all student verification and data pop up instantly, we ensure top-tier security while creating a lucrative municipal tech contract that generates revenue for the city whenever partnered American companies utilize the platform.   

On top of this, if we transform standard administrative infrastructure into a revenue-generating tech pipeline we can commercialize and license proprietary city tools, such as, but not limited to, this NFC student verification platform.
