John McNesby Is Why Philadelphia Police Are Broken
It's been a week full of stories about the corruption of Philadelphia police , but none of that disturbed me half as much as this story about an escape attempt by accused cop killer Rasheed Scrugs. Here's John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police: John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5, said Scrugs "started to ramp up his antics" earlier this week when he indicated that he didn't want to appear in court. "He's a savage," McNesby said. "They should have finished him off on the street. Now we have to deal with antics." I'm just astonished. Not that McNesby would feel that way, but that he -- as one of the highest-profile cops in the city of Philadelphia -- would feel comfortable publicly advocating that police commit street executions in lieu of letting the justice system work. It's horrifying: I have to live in a city full of cops he's encouraging to behave that way. Thanks to M
