U.D. Police Now Taking Down Fliers

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood was bicycling around town the other day when he spotted the now-infamous (at least on KYW 1060) racist fliers that quote Family Guy.

And then, NBC 10 tells us, he decided the police should take down speech he didn’t like. He had his officers remove 268 of these stupid fliers originally put up by the Keystone State Skinheads. There were even different posters this time that said “North Philly coming to your town” up along with the other ones that said “Guns don’t kill people — dangerous minorities do.”

Uh, yes: The police took down speech the police chief didn’t like. Even though it was put up by annoying racist fucks who apparently think parodies on Family Guy are meant to be taken literally… really? If I put up anti-war on drugs posters in Upper Darby, will Mike Chitwood send the cops out to take them all down?

But enough of that near-seriousness. The NBC 10 report also contains perhaps my favorite sentence in a news report, ever:

The NBC 10 Investigators have been trying to contact the Keystone State Skin Heads to find out why they are posting the flyers.

Gee! What could the skinheads be possibly putting up racist fliers for?
