Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney said Tuesday that now is the "right time" for a conversation about the statue of Frank Rizzo, a former mayor and police commissioner who critics say reigned over the city when police brutality was the accepted norm.

Rizzo's son responded by telling KYW-TV that his father was a fair person who treated people equally regardless of race.
