Philadelphia Bulletproof Glass Bill, Dignity vs. Safety
A controversial bill in Philadelphia seeks to force "stop-and-go" liquor stores to remove bulletproof glass partitions. City Councilwoman Cindy Bass argues the glass is an affront to the "dignity" of the community, while store owners—many of whom are Korean-American—maintain the partitions are essential for their safety in high-crime areas. The debate has led to accusations of racial targeting and concerns over the potential for increased violence against merchants.
