https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/new...lice-Officer-in-Nicetown-Tioga-542724941.html Got a big shooting going on and a standoff in North Philly. Would it be wrong to jump to conclusions since it was on a drug-related call and outside a Church's Chicken? Must be Trump's white nationalist rhetoric
As with all of these shooting I will reserve my judgement until far more information is available. Although quick search on that neighborhood netted these results. Folks can make their own judgements from that... https://www.areavibes.com/philadelphia-pa/tioga-nicetown/demographics/
You can thank Dizzy Lizzy Warren for digging up the a 5 year old Michael Brown case last week. The officer was vindicated and she called him a murderer. She has blood on her hands today !
Watching it live now. Seems like bad juju to me to have what looks like every cop in the city gathered within a small city block.
More deaths in the idiotic drug wars. My deepest sympathy goes out to the families of the officers or any innocent bystanders who got injured or killed here.
This violence was clearly incited by Elizabeth Warren's and Kamala Harris' reckless and dangerous, anti-police rhetoric.
This looks to be a drug raid gone bad. You can bet none of the guys shooting the officers ever heard of Warren or Brown. Looks like the cops were not prepared for what they encountered. Too bad. No chickenshit drug bust is worth risking lives for. My heart goes out to the policemen’s families . More casualties of this failing drug war.
They must be lost. Once I was running late to the airport and jumped on the wrong train....which proceeded North instead of South. Learned real fast where you don't want to go in Philadelphia.
Is that the early talking points? Is the expanded version going to involve 'mental illness'? You folks are getting predictable...
So we should just not enforce drug laws, right? Just like we shouldn't arrest illegals for crossing the border, right?
So if we just make what they do legal, it will be great for everyone and the town will suddenly be a utopia of greatness. I see what you did there. Very clever.
The War on Drugs is an abject failure. An eight ball of cocaine cost around $350 in 1985. Today the price is under $100. If you have even a vague understanding of economics, and you call yourself a fiscal conservative, you would absolutely support the legalization of drugs. Even RAND Corp. understands this.
President Trump mentioned these places are run by incompetence, they should have allowed the police to patrol safer areas. those places are war zones and third world countries.
Wishing for the best possible outcome for the officers and innocent bystanders. I blame the criminal regardless of the party he follows.
"mental illness" is the cause only when the shooter is white. Anybody else would be labeled as a thuggish criminal.
Yup, when a white guy pulls the trigger, he's taking his marching orders directly from Trump. When a black guy starts shooting, he ain't even be able to spell Demikrat.
Well, have to have some way to make it the fault of the bad Orange Man. Lets see. Trump criticizes the invasion of illegal aliens across our border, an envirowacko lunatic shoots up a Wal Mart, claiming he wants to eliminate invading Mexicans BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT HERE AND REDUCE THE POPULATION, and its Trump's fault for wanting to enforce our borders against the illegal alien invasion. Somehow, the cretins in the media will make this about Trump, not about Dizzy Lizzy who lied about Michael Brown's demise.
At any rate, police officers should not be risking their lives for a two bit drug bust. Obviously these guys were careless and it cost them their lives. Probably ambushed by crooks with assault type weapons with large magazines. Damn shame if you ask me.
