This week’s head-spinning story was Philadelphia Police chief Richard Ross’s abrupt resignation after allegations surfaced that he’d botched the handling of sexual harassment claims in his department. In addition, a female police detective filed a lawsuit in June that claims the department “maintains a grossly sexist culture” that included frequent harassment and groping. The stories make the Philadelphia’s police roundhouse sound more like a frat house than a place dedicated to “honor, service, integrity” as its mission statement states.

Editorial cartoons from this week include:

  1. Planned Parenthood for little old ladies

  2. Supervised drug injection sites

  3. Gun-toting drug dealers have friends in Harrisburg
