Philadelphia, Pa. Druggie Shoots Half Dozen Police

[wacojoe]

...and, as I write this hours later and after the other PO’s and their arrested perps get out of the building, they are still waffling along “waiting him out.” You’d think the least they would do now is lob a few teargas canister in the room. Contrast the non action today with the MOVE incident in 1985. I guess they don’t have a robot like the Dallas cops had when a maniac shot a bunch of theirs or maybe they think this mook’s life is somehow worth saving, costs be damned.

Coincidentally, just before the gunfire broke out the Pennsylvania governor announced a cluster of new state executive gun rules he is going to unveil later this week “to stem gun violence.” Can’t wait to see those —

Oh, btw, the local denizens are standing around jeering at the - you guessed it - police. The perp is reportedly live-streaming his bit of fun.

Now that much of that has been exposed as BS in the light of day---and no one died, there was no community "outrage"--in fact there was praise for the police restraint---you might find that post a bit embarrassing.

As for the Gov.----why not get it directly from his office.

Added in edit---the "Half Dozen Police" that were shot---were all out of the hospital before the creep came out of the house Just for clarification----I (and obviously the police) do not take shooting at police lightly---and if the creep knew how to shoot the story could have been tragic.

Amazing...

If you want to call it “praise for the police restraint,” then your interpretation is a bit strange —

I now find reports of the crowd harassment---it was also clearly a small minority. The woman I spoke of in the past post was shown on CBS in Philadelphia--and she happened to be a black Muslim women. I don't have time to search for that video but I suspect it is still on the local CBS web site.

It came on as I was typing---go to the window in the lower right hand corner and they run through the clips.

Tear gas has the nasty side affect of starting fires when it is lobbed inside a building. Perhaps the police recalled what happened in 1985 when the mental giants in charge decided to drop a bomb on top of a fortified building. When the threat is contained, there is really no need to rush to the end.
