Fake cops attempt to rob Philly jewelry store

2 Fake Cops Try To Rob Platinum Jewelers

Two men are seen on video walking into a Center City jewelry store looking like law enforcement officers. The word ‘police’ can be seen on what appears to be bulletproof vests.
The real police say the men walked into Platinum Jewelers at 12th and Market Streets around noon Monday and tried to rob the place.  At first glance, one would think this crime was the work of just two men. But Philadelphia Police say it looks like they had some help.
Just minutes before the masked men entered the business, two customers, both seen in surveillance pictures wearing wigs, acting like they were shopping, at times on the phone.
Employees now believe they were speaking with the police impersonators, who were waiting for the signal to come in.
Once the robbers were inside, a female employee pressed the alarm. The man in the black vest moved behind the counter with his gun out.
But realizing they probably didn’t have much time, the fake cops took off without getting a dime or one piece of jewelry.
Employees say all four men jumped into an older model gray Mercury Grand Marquis.
The car had a Pennsylvania tag that police figured out was stolen off another vehicle in Mount Airy.

Protest at Love Park Philly (Trayvon Martin)

Standing up for Justice for Our Black Babies protested at LOVE Park a day after George Zimmerman was acquitted in Trayvon Martin's killing.

Protest at Love Park Philly (Trayvon Martin)

Mayor Nutter,  was among those who expressed disappointment in George Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin.
     "A young black man is dead without any real explanation," Nutter said in a statement. "George Zimmerman took an innocent life. Trayvon Martin, who at trial was made to appear threatening when all he had was a bag of Skittles and an iced tea, should not have died at Zimmerman's hands, and I believe the jury should have exacted a penalty." That's a great point he made. The jury should have issued some type of penalty. 

     So  were do we go from here.  Do we PROTEST hold demonstrations, what good is that going to do.  Who's listening other than other black folks.  The people we really want to reach out to aren't listening.  Some people say let's march. You'll march to a location of the ***** choosing, speak for as long as there choosing. Basically the begging asking for justice is getting old.  What can we really do to make a change.  Ask yourself that.
