Only 9,999 Cops Now Needed On Philly Streets

It's only logical, less criminals, less cops. I mean when the country club has fewer golfers they need fewer caddies, right? But too few bartenders just piss off the clientele, so be careful when using this or any formula. In fact, it's better to let trained professionals, say like John Prezell, Persell or Perzel, do any figuring.

Rep. Perzel's son goes into rehab, avoiding trial on assault
Samuel Perzel, son of state Rep. John M. Perzel, R-Philadelphia, has been accepted into a program for nonviolent first-time offenders - thus avoiding a trial related to an alleged assault on a police officer last year.

Perzel, 18, was arrested in November after he allegedly hit a female police officer in the face.
He was scheduled to face trial on misdemeanor charges of simple assault, resisting arrest and related offenses.


Instead, in court yesterday, defense attorney Joseph Canuso and Assistant District Attorney Jill Fertel told Municipal Court Judge Karen Y. Simmons that Perzel has been accepted into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program.

Perzel, a college freshman outside the city, was not in court.

Canuso said after the brief proceeding that his client is expected to appear in court April 4, when he is to formally enter the ARD program.

Wonder if we'll ever get receipts for the $5.1 million that vanished into thin air. Vanished almost as magically as the misspelled name and more serious charges. Maybe they're all "outside the city". Where's Oscar Wallace when you need him?
