Source: CBS
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross announced Wednesday that 72 officers are on administrative duty, and that some of them might be terminated, for alleged racist and violent social media posts. Hundreds of Philadelphia police officers have been accused of these type of social media posts.
Ross spoke after meeting with organizers of the Rally for Justice protest on Wednesday afternoon.
Weve talked about from the outset how disturbing, how disappointing and upsetting these posts are and how they will undeniably impact police-community relations and were not naïve to that fact and nor are we dismissive of it, Ross said.

Higher hiring standards are needed. Highly educated and trained officers being paid a professional salary
should become the norm.

Who is required to have a university degree?
Who gets paid for overtime and who doesn't? Hint: the one you trusted your child's future to doesn't get paid overtime and often has to buy school supplies too.
