Mike Chitwood is a second generation Philly cop who’s waging a “war on anti-Semitism.”

Maybe a little good news, or at least a good person doing what's right in Florida which seems a rarity in their governmental bodies.

I appreciate the community-focused approach he's taking, building bridges in his community among different groups. I just am annoyed that the publication immediately highlights his old-school dirty harry style. Like, that's exactly what we don't want cops to be like going forward.

It seems clear to me that Sheriff Mike is doing good work. The crux of it seems to be building a coalition of local Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities against hate, and that is so key. Why not lead with that?
