Philadelphia know to many as the City of Brotherly Love, yet if you speak to anyone in the city they will tell a completely different tale. We the residents of Philadelphia have grown to acknowledge the new name given to this city which is Killadelphia the City of No Love, so far this year we have buried four police officers killed in the line of duty. Four, that is four too many, police are supposed to be there to protect us and help in way that they can, yet every time they try to help they are being killed. A city that kills there own police, is a city in extreme turmoil, a city that is literally in a war with itself. You can not turn on the news at night without seeing that someone was murdered, and the police are getting scared to even try and work with crime anymore because the are getting terminated one by one.

The city lives by the No Snitching Rule, everyone is afraid for their lives yet every resident eye's can tell a horrific tale. Trying to raise two daughters here as a young mother gets harder and harder every day because the police no longer have control of their own lives, yet alone the city. What are you supposed to do when the ones that are put out there to protect and serve are the ones being hunted. If someone is willing to kill a police officer they would not think twice about killing me or my children. It is a scary place yet we must make the best of it, to many of us this is home and we can not afford to leave. We try all we can to gain control but day after day it only gets worse. My personal opinion is instead of wasting billions sending soldiers to countries we have no business being in why doesn't the government worry about their own back yards and send some help to a city that is dying off quickly and painfully. War of Terror HA there is a War of Terror on the streets of Killadelphia!

Don't be fooled the city looks peaceful but as you enter the streets beauty turns to a harsh reality of terror!
