Jack Daniels Flyer PHILLY WE STAND WITH YOU
To our brother and sisters of the Philadelphia Police Department the CA FOP stands with you. Stay Safe, Remain Vigilant, and Hold the Line!
"The Fraternal Order of Police Tuesday called out multiple national media outlets for their coverage of a fatal police shooting of a Black man in Philadelphia that spurred riots resulting in injuries to 30 officers.
In a series of tweets, the FOP slammed CNN, ABC, NBC, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and the BBC for failing to mention in their headlines that the man, 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr., ran at the officers with a knife.
“The headlines fail to mention the key fact: the suspect ran at the officers, armed with a knife, while they attempted to retreat. They’re part of the problem and stoking tensions,” FOP said of the media."
