"It's 98 degrees outside, they're pulling people off the street and putting them in air conditioning facilities, the homeless so-forth. Our own officers who protect the community can barely breath in these buildings."" said John McNesby, President of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5.
Officials from the Philadelphia Police Department say they are investigating the situation, but have no information to provide.
