Supporters Rally for Late Philly Mayor Frank Rizzo After Group Calls for His Statue to be Taken Down

Supporters of the late Frank Rizzo are fighting to save the statue of the former Philadelphia mayor. They rallied in Center City days after an anti-police brutality group filed a petition calling for Rizzo’s statue across from city hall to be taken down. Several members of the group met with Rizzo’s supporters at the start of Monday night’s rally. The anti-police brutality group wants Rizzo’s statue removed due to what they say was his poor treatment of minorities while he was mayor. Rizzo’s family calls the allegation nonsense however.
