Community members protested outside a Fraternal Order of Police benefit in Philadelphia on Oct. 28.  One sign read, “The FOP celebrates police brutality.” Demonstrators, who numbered more than 100, chanted “Shame! Shame!” as cops and their supporters entered the police fundraiser, which was being held for Lt. Jonathan Josey, the cop who brutalized Aida Guzmán at the end of an annual Puerto Rican Festival.
