Philly Police Head Resigns as Bias Suit Roils Department

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross says his abrupt resignation was completely voluntary. Speaking outside police headquarters Wednesday, Ross says his love for the city compelled him to make a decision that was bigger than him. Ross resigned Tuesday, a day after two female officers say their complaints of being physically and verbally harassed by supervisors and colleagues were ignored by department brass. Ross says it was for the best that he step down.
