Philadelphia Police Officers Marc and Joe Metellus (from left) and Jimmy Leocal, LGBT activist Jaci Adams, Officer Marc Moreau, Sgt. Rodney Poliard, Officer Ricardo Dameus, Spruce Street Video owner Franny Price and activist Fred Bostwick display some of the items that have been dropped off at the video store to benefit those injured in the earthquake in Haiti. A group of Haitian police officers initiated the donation drive in coordination with the Police Liaison Committee and is requesting crutches, canes and walkers that will be sent directly to the victims. Checks, made payable to Philadelphia Police Haitian Relief Fund, can also be left at the store. “It really was great to see all that came in, especially when you know it’s going straight to people who’ve been hurt,” Price said. The officers will stop by the store, at 252 S. 12th St., weekly to collect the donations. Photo: Scott Drake
