By SARA BURNETT and BROOKE SCHULTZ (Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Democrat who will almost certainly become Philadelphia’s next mayor wants to hire hundreds of additional police officers to walk their beats and get to know residents. She wants to devote resources to recruiting more police and says officers should be able to stop and search pedestrians if they have a legitimate reason to do so. Those positions, particularly the search policies that have been criticized for wrongly targeting people of color, would seem out of step in a progressive bastion like Philadelphia.

Interestingly, this didn't stop Cassel from accepting $30,000 from the Florida Democratic Party, or about 25% of her contributions.
