Pennsylvania’s top law enforcement official condemned Vandergrift police Officer William Moore’s conduct during a police call this month, saying the officer “should not be trusted” to carry out the duties of his job.
Footage of the April 17 incident that started inside G&G Restaurant was taken by a Black patron being questioned by Moore. During the heated exchange that ultimately ended outside the restaurant, the patron accused Moore of racial profiling. Vandergrift police Chief Joe Caporali had said Moore was responding to a 911 call reporting that a Black man was smoking marijuana outside the restaurant.

Tom Wolf Josh Shapiro After an investigation was called into the conduct of a Vandergrift Police officer against a Black diner customer who claims he was racially profiled, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro is speaking out on the case, saying that the diner was harassed by the officer and “he should not be trusted to uphold the responsibilities of being a police officer.” On April 17, a patron at a restaurant in Vandergrift in Westmoreland County recorded an encounter he had with a police officer and posted the video on social media, which soon went viral. According to reporting from WTAE, Vandergrift Police officer William Moore approached a couple dining in G & G restaurant and asked about their service dog. The woman then took the dog home, but the man, Marcus Townsend, stayed.
Shapiro also joined 17 other attorneys general last month in sending a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland calling for the ghost-gun loophole to be closed. In 2019, Shapiro has said, 99 ghost guns were seized in Philadelphia, and that number skyrocketed to 250 in 2020.
“The numbers are clear – more ghost guns are hitting our streets,” Shapiro posted on Facebook on Thursday. “Today s actions from POTUS can help us stem the tide of these untraceable firearms making their way into the hands of prohibited purchasers.”
Biden also announced executive orders reducing access to stabilizing braces that can turn pistols essentially into rifles without the same regulations and establishing “red flag” laws to allow relatives or police to ask state courts to block a person from obtaining guns if they are a danger to themselves or others.
