Ben & Jerry s Founder Backs Larry Krasner in Philly DA Ice Cream War “To be clear, Mr Softee isn’t even ice cream. It is pumped up with a lot of hot air which is somehow frozen in a limp sort of way. It is chock full of artificial ingredients,” Ben Cohen said in a statement

The Philadelphia district attorney race is, ironically, cooling down just as it’s heating up, and ice cream is now playing a factor.
Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, is joining the burgeoning ice cream war, publicly throwing his support behind incumbent DA Larry Krasner. Earlier, the city’s police union called him “soft on crime” while serving up free Mister Softee ice cream outside his office last week.

Philadelphia It’s no secret that Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner is no friend to law enforcement. And the Philadelphia police union made that perfectly clear on Friday. The union helped give out free, soft-serve ice cream at an event to honor Krasner’s “soft” on crime approach toward prosecuting criminals.
According to NBC Philadelphia, the the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 5 showed up outside the DA’s office with an ice cream truck to give out Mister Softee soft serve ice cream. The ice cream truck also featured a billboard encouraging citizens to vote forDA Krasner’s opponent, Carlos Vega, in the upcoming May 18th primary election.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The president of the local police union said Thursday that Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department gave the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office everything it needed to put Brandon Hole on a “red flag” list.
Rick Snyder, who leads Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 86, said putting Hole on the “red flag” list would have kept him from buying more guns before he shot and killed eight people at a FedEx facility near Indianapolis International Airport on April 15.
Synder said Prosecutor Ryan Mears dropped a very important ball. “Unfortunately, the lack of action by the Marion County prosecutor prevented a court hearing which could have resulted in not only the retention of the firearm in question but also could have prohibited the suspect from owning, renting, receiving transfer of or possessing any other firearms.”
