A Philadelphia judge has ruled the city can’t immediately release the names of police officers involved in shootings.
The judge issued a temporary injunction on Friday after the Fraternal Order of Police sued.
Fox 28 reports that the lawsuit came after Black Lives Matter protesters gathered outside the home of Officer Ryan Pownall, who is on administrative leave for shooting an allegedly armed man June 8.
Police found a loaded weapon at the scene.
The temporary restraining order says the city must wait 72 hours to release an officer’s name, during which time the union can challenge the city’s attempt to release the name.
