Full Hour | Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing developments centered around the Philadelphia Police Department, offering updates on the breaking story today of an assailant who fired on SWAT officers during a warrant, playing back a clip from PPD Deputy Commissioner John Stanford, who spoke about the lack of accountability as a causation of what we’re seeing play out on Philadelphia streets. Then, Giordano plays back commentary from MSNBC after a John Fetterman interview, in which reporter Dasha Burns suggests that Fetterman has been affected by the stroke, having trouble with conversations. Giordano continues on the topic of the shooting of Philadelphia SWAT officers, with Producer Dan reading back press releases from both DA Larry Krasner and Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.
Then, Dom welcomes FOP Lodge 5 President John McNesby back onto the Dom Giordano Program after the horrible situation that played out in North Philadelphia today, with multiple SWAT officers shot but thankfully not facing life-threatening injuries. First, though, Giordano gets McNesby’s thoughts on the decision regarding Ryan Pownall’s case, an officer involved in a police-involved shooting while on duty, who had his case thrown out after a judge deemed Krasner’s prosecution ‘incompetent.’ Then, Giordano and McNesby swing over into a conversation centered on the shooting of the SWAT officers, with McNesby explaining how Krasner’s office has normalized this type of violence and rhetoric against police.
