OP-ED: Gov. Wolf pushes false narrative during National Police Week
Scott L. Bohn
Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association
In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. This year National Police Week was held May 8-15. National Police Week is an annual observance when memorial events are held across our nation to honor police officers who have sacrificed their lives. Last year in the United States, 264 officers were killed. Thus far in 2021, 125 have died.
During National Police Week Gov. Tom Wolf sent a letter to all state employees marking Juneteenth as a state holiday of “service. He wrote: “Juneteenth is a celebration of the progress we have made as a nation towards equality and justice for all. Sadly, the continued death of African Americans at the hands of police … are painful reminders that racism and intolerance are still with us today.”
