From Phillyvoice Like most of his peers, Lower Merion Police Superintendent Michael J. McGrath was aware of the Plain View Project’s work in Philadelphia and seven other cities across the country, which exposed postings ranging from “poor judgment to unacceptable and offensive conduct,” he said.
McGrath and his command staff reviewed a pair of posts shared in regards to this story: Gavin Goschinski’s was related to the Central Park 5 case, while Paul Coletta’s was a share chalking up some police-involved shootings to “a media problem, a drug problem, a mental illness problem and an entitled welfare state breeding drugs problem.”
He was not pleased with what he saw.
“We agreed they needed evaluation and conducted a review of the posts for violations of our social media policy,” he told PhillyVoice on Friday afternoon. “We will take appropriate action if and when necessary.”
