4. Phila FOP hates Krasner with a passion

They urged their members to register or re-register as Dems to try and oust Krasner in the last Dem primary. They backed Carlos (iirc) Vega, an asst DA who resigned after Krasner was elected the first time, in the general election, too. Krasner has been relentless in uncovering police misconduct and holding them accountable. They haven't been able to beat him at the polls. My guess is the FOP and its state House allies pushed the impeachment.

If you can, watch the PBS series "Philly DA". It documents Krasners first term in office and interviews those who agree and disagree with his approach.
