Watching Action 6 news this morning they showed video of a police sergeant who sufferd a heart attack while on duty in North Philly. The video was of the emergency room entrance at Temple. Had to be over 100 police officers, the mayor and commissioner standing around on a Friday night in North Philly. A great photo op of the cops showing off their medals (something Commish Timoney from NYC started that I HATE) piled high above their badge.
I know crime is down with the new mayor and commish but my Management 101 tells me that somebody should be patrolling the streets.
During the clip they said shots rang out "across the street" and the video shows 101 overweight cops jiggling down the street, many making sure they didnt run too fast, you never want to be first on the scene of live gunshots.
Back in the day there was always a Captain chasing cops away from the scene of any incident that drew that many officers. Guess they all retired to Lancaster.

good point slim. i think i could out run any of these Blue Shirts. the mayor and commish need to start a physical fitness program for these officers. probably get a lot of early retirements, get new blood in there.
