We were inches away from planning a funeral for at least one brave, Philadelphia Highway Patrol officer as a bullet lodged in his cap, there are too many guns on our streets and far too many individuals acting recklessly with these deadly weapons.

Well, right now it's not a very desirable job, everything that's been going on around the country for the last couple of years. ... But right now, I mean just getting people to apply is a monster in itself.

I mean it's easier for me to sit here and talk about it.

We promised a vigorous defense to these baseless allegations and charges filed by our District Attorney, our DA attempted to railroad a highly decorated and well-respected member of the Philadelphia police department.We’re happy to bring closure to this case for Bologna, a 30-year member, who has served this city with respect and integrity.

Our union and police officers will not stand-by and watch Inspector Bologna get railroaded by a politically, opportunistic [district attorney], who has turned his back on Philadelphia police and the city.

The officers were justified in their use of force under very difficult and stressful conditions, an armed man confronting them with a knife.
