Mural of ex-mayor, police commissioner defaced

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A day after the arrest of a man accused of defacing a statue of a former Philadelphia mayor and police commissioner, a mural of the same figure has been defaced with paint.

Police said officers saw a group spray paint "Kill killer cops" on the large south Philadelphia mural of Frank Rizzo shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday. Officers pursued the group on foot and arrested one male, also recovering spray paint and masks discarded by the group.

The mural also had a large splotch of white paint on the face and the words "RIP David," — an apparent reference to David Jones, 30, who was shot in the back after being stopped for driving a dirt bike recklessly on a city street and allegedly pulling a gun on a police officer.
