This special edition of the Delaware Valley Journal podcast was recorded the morning after Yeadon Police Chief Anthony “Chachi” Paparo was fired by the borough council — he and his supporters say, because he is white.

In a conversation with DVJournal News Editor Linda Stein, Paparo speaks passionately about his efforts to heal the rift between the police department and communities of color, and his feelings about being fired. He also talks about his plans for the future, and why he “feels sorry” for the next chief to be hired by the town.
