A Philadelphia police union offered free ice cream on Friday outside the office of District Attorney Larry Krasner to protest “soft on crime” policies.
The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 will pay for a Mr. Softee’s ice cream truck to give out free ice cream outside of Krasner’s office every Friday until the May 18 Democratic primary for District Attorney, Fox 29 Philadelphia reported.
FOP has endorsed Krasner’s challenger, Carlos Vega.
“We figured we would go out and bring an ice cream truck—a Mister Softee truck out—because we have Mr. Softee in the DA’s office. Soft on crime, soft on sentencing. Too many shootings. We got six people a day average being shot in Philadelphia. That’s ridiculous,” FOP Lodge 5 President John McNesby told Fox 29.
