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

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.
