The state trooper who arrested two LGBTQ+ leaders after a contentious traffic stop in Philadelphia no longer works for the Pennsylvania State police. Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Adam Reed says Friday the trooper isn’t working for the agency any longer. He hasn't been named. It remains unclear if he was fired and when he left the job.
Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Adam Reed said the trooper, who has not been named, no longer works for the agency, though it’s unclear whether he was fired and when he left the job.
The arrests led Mayor Cherelle Parker to weigh in, calling the exchange between the trooper, who appears to be white, and the Black couple “very concerning.” “This decision is reprehensible,” Union President Stephen Polishan said in an statement. “This young trooper, on the job for only six months, deserved better from our department.”
Morrison took a video on her cellphone of the trooper handcuffing McLean after he stopped his car behind the trooper. In the video, McLean is lying in the rain on the shoulder of the highway. The trooper knocked the cellphone from her hand, ending the recording, Morrison’s lawyer’s have said.
