    A warrant was being served. It figures. The other times I hear of gunfights like this, it usually follows the serving of a warrants. Makes me wonder why they don't check for weapons on site first...?

    Awaiting more details. And praying for all involved.

      Apparently injuries to the police officers were not life threatening.

      CBS Philadelphia has a good live stream of the location.

        Well yes, “thoughts and prayers” seem to be the only response to the endemic gun violence in the US.

          Better than gun confiscation.

            Criticizing "thoughts and prayers" seems to be the new mantra of the gun grabbers.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                "Thoughts and prayers" is a natural reaction expressing empathy for the victims of something like this. Objecting to "thoughts and prayers" is tantamount to objecting to expressions of empathy after a tragedy.

                  They haven't figured that out yet. It's kinda like the disparaging comments by Obama about "clinging on to their guns and religion".

                      This is indeed deplorable...


                      Bystanders taunted and laughed as police officers were being fired upon in Philadelphia


                      A reporter at the scene of an attack on police officers said that bystanders were mocking and taunting police even as bullets rained down upon them.

                      A video shows a crowd of residents shoving and confronting the police even as they were dealing with a tense hostage situation.

                      It was circulated online among many supporters of law enforcement who expressed outrage at their treatment.

                      Even as six police officers were being treated for injuries by a man barricaded inside a home, the neighborhood residents expressed hostility and antagonism against the police.

                      Reporter Alexandria Hoff of CBS-3 Philadelphia reported that she had been harassed along with the officers.

                      "I mentioned this at 10 and since I was harassed during that live shot, I'll mention it here too," Hoff tweeted.

                      "A major moment of disappointment this evening was watching a crowd of people taunt police officers, laughing and yelling at them in the midst of the gunfire," she added.

                            The police should just wall off those neighborhoods and let chaos reign. Like that movie "Escape from New York." Put one way gates on the wall, so anyone who hates police is free to enter but not leave.

                            "You don't like us? Fine, have it your way."

                              There are too many decent people left in those neighborhood who don't have the means to move.
