The Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations and its allies will present a resolution to the Philadelphia City Council, this week, demanding Black community control of the police. Coalition spokesman Diop Olugbala said the resolution proposes that a commission, “democratically elected on the block and neighborhood level,” would be empowered to “hire, fire, train and discipline police forces in our community.”
