How do you damage your race? One person speaks for all?
How do you tell people how to dress? Is it a violation of the 1st amendment?

Wow OP, are you pissy at the Philly mayor because he said what needed to be said to a bunch of young hooligans? He should say it more and louder to all youngsters running about instigating troupble and without immediate parental supervision. I say BRAVO to him!

The mayor is the top Law Enforcement official of a city. I think I'll e-mail this to my new mayor's office and maybe he'll take a clue and do similarly as teen flash mobs are a problem here too.

First, the mayor is simply telling them to take down their hoodies, not actually proposing a dress code. Second, damaging their race means they're doing themselves a disservice & playing into the very stereotype that black people are trying to get rid of by acting like that.

Very well...no it is not a constitutional violation. He did not order that hoodies could not be worn...just suggested they take them down and quit trying to hide their faces like bandits. These punks ARE doing their community a disservice by acting like varmints...so why not call them on it....works for me.

The Mayor speaks for the city, and in this case he is speaking out on an issue that is damaging the reputation and budget of Philly.

Dress code?
