about how philly agreed to expand police supervision because have had so many cases of brutality and corruption

''We do not have a corruption problem,'' Mr. Costello said. ''That's one point the Mayor and I are in agreement. And if that's the case, why do we need a 10- or 14-point plan? It's a criminal waste of taxpayer funds for a charade.'' ( officer complaining about extra supervision)

police brutality

Take Philadelphia for instance. It recently convicted six former 39th precinct officers in a corruption scandal triggered back in 1992. Their convictions included crimes ranging from selling drugs, to robbing, beating, and framing drug suspects. When the dust finally had cleared, 1,400 criminal cases were under review. This number may go as high as 10,000, which means that some dangerous criminals who were guilty will probably be back on the street because the police broke the law.

Additional material for video

There's this article on USATODAY that talks about how the bombing still affects the lives of people in Philadelphia nowadays... I guess you should read it and maybe use quotes from it. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-05-11-philadelphia-bombing_x.htm
I also found this audio segment that has some stuff you could use maybe: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4650987
Then in terms of racism in philadelphia there's this good website you might want to take a look at : http://no-racism.net/ There is actually this event that's quite recent, january 2007, that we might be able to use. There has been several instances in which young black guys have been killed by police officials for no real reason. There's an article on it: http://no-racism.net/article/1975/. I can't seem to find any videos that you could really use though... I'll keep looking.
