On Monday, Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins wrote an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer calling for a culture shift in the city’s police department while urging Mayor Jim Kenney to impact “massive change” with his selection of the next police commissioner.
Among the multiple criteria Jenkins laid out in his opinion piece was a call for “a commissioner who fights back against the police union.”
From Jenkins’ op-ed:
Nearly every time we hear a story of an officer abusing power, whether through violence or racist Facebook postings, the police union is there to defend the bad behavior.
