Philly Cops Battle Flash Mobs

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey are revealing new all-out efforts to prevent more flash mob melees.


At a Wednesday news conference, they said the incidents have to stop, and any future flash mobs will be met with organized and relentless crackdowns by police.
“This is an issue of citywide significance and importance. It’s affects all Philadelphians regardless of neighborhood, regardless of community,” Mayor Nutter said.
