Michael Nutter, the favorite in Tuesday's mayoral election, held a lunchtime get-out-the-vote rally at JFK Plaza during which he implored citizens to stand up to crime, as Cassidy had.
"This is supposed to be the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection," Nutter said. "We need to start acting like it."
"He went in that place. He had no chance," Nutter said of Cassidy. "He had no chance. He was doing his job because he cared about this city. He didn't go the other way. When will we show that same courage?"
