To the editor:

With Bill Marvel’s ridiculous recent column about his Philadelphia police acquaintance, I hardly know where to begin. Clearly Marvel’s awareness of history beyond the year 1865 is spotty at best. Despite his reminiscences of a kinder Philadelphia police department of the 1980s and 1990s, the real truth is much uglier.
