Governor Wolf’s appointment to head the Pennsylvania State Police was rejected by the state senate. Many senators said they voted against Mr. Brown because he wore a state policeman’s uniform although he was not a graduate of the state police academy.
Say what?
You reject someone because he wore a uniform?
This vote had nothing to do with uniforms. In his previous position Mr. Brown helped to diversify the Maryland state police. In Pennsylvania the state police are overwhelmingly white males. Brown would change that. The state police like the status quo, so they exercised their considerable political power to get Pennsylvania Republican senators to reject Mr. Brown.
Pennsylvania is the Keystone State. Fittingly, we have the Keystone Kops.
