The station, owned by John Placek, drew criticism from passersby over the weekend with a billboard that referenced the acquittal of police officer Michael Rosfeld in the shooting of Antwon Rose. The billboard’s text, according to WTAE, said “Justice Served, Get over it,” and was accompanied with two photos. Above the photo of Rosfeld was the word “Policeman” and above the photo of Rose was the word “Criminal.”
Another message, as reported by the Philly Voice said, “Question: Why can Blacks say n****r but Whites can't?"
While the billboard’s detractors claimed the message and imaging was racist, John’s brother, Rich, told WTAE that his brother was trying to make the point that “we need to be equal.”
