    God bless all police but especially the ones that have to patrol areas like Braddock.

    The story says early Sunday morning. What pizza place delivers pizza after midnight on a Saturday in Braddock? You’re asking to get robbed.

      born in the north side, live just east of E. Pgh…but smart enough to move to the North Hills. Thanks for playing!

  • Wowzer

    The police should just let people do whatever they want. When the police try to stop someone or have to use force or a taser they get nothing but grief, and lawsuits…let people do what they want!

    • FixPGH

      um, yeah no.
