(AP Photo/Matt Rourke) A new report from Philadelphia Controller Rebecca Rhynhart blames a “failure of leadership” within the highest ranks of city government and local law enforcement for the tear-gassing of peaceful activists on Interstate 676, 52nd Street, and in Kensington last year. The report faults Mayor Jim Kenney, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, and others, attributing the deployment of tear gas on activists to a systemic failure to prepare for mass unrest following George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police. It also casts Outlaw as a strong proponent of using such less-lethal munitions, echoing criticisms that dogged her during her past role as head of the Portland Police Department.
