Brawl Erupts Between Darby & Colwyn Police Officers, Including Darby Police Chief Robert Smythe, Over Jurisdiction of Accused

DISGRACE: Police officers fighting police officers is simply a disgrace, but that's what happened in Delaware County, PA. The district attorney is investigating the rivalry between officers from the Darby and Colwyn police departments. According to NBC Philadelphia, the fight occurred on March 18 after a Colwyn Borough police officer was flagged down about a domestic dispute.

The Colwyn officer arrested a man who allegedly punched a woman. The arrest evidently occurred about a block into Darby Borough. After the Colwyn officer arrested the man, members of the Darby police force arrived on the scene and a melee began. Darby officers, including Darby Borough Police Chief Robert Smythe, were apparently outraged that a Colwyn officer made an arrest on their turf. Source

Now, if that had been the average person on the street, they would have been thrown in jail, no questions asked. The officers should be held to the same standards.
