From Ace of Spades

"There are only two options here:

This is either a "white supremacist" ambush, in which case we must militarize the government to "crush" this threat; or

it's an ambush of cops but not by white supremacists, in which case... meh. We'll just suck it up and never talk about this ever again."

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/national-international/Gunman-Shoots-Police-Officer-in-Nicetown-Tioga-542724941.html

"One officer remains trapped inside a home where an ongoing shoot-out stretches into a second hour, police say.

Gunfire initially erupted around 4:30 p.m. after a narcotics officer served a warrant to a house near the corner of North 15th and West Butler streets, according to officials.

A seventh police officer responding to the scene was injured in a car accident at the nearby intersection of North Broad and West Cayuga streets. A pedestrian was also injured, police say."

"All of the officers are expected to survive, officials say.

At least one suspect was taken into custody shortly after the firefight started, according to police.

Officers continue to battle with a second gunman, who remains barricaded inside a home nearly two hours later."

So, they hit a trap house with a narcs warrant. Welcome to the ghetto, of course they are going to try to protect the drop with guns. If it is what I suspect, this will be out of the news unless the suspect is killed.

Note: I'm a cop. It sucks watching this and I hope my guys make full recoveries, but I refuse to call it an active shooter when we kicked it off. Dude's trying to defend his stash most likely and had orders to shoot anyone who busts through the door. Very few outside of LE remotely give a sh!t about us. Odds are the gun is *gasp* stolen too.

So,
Is this going to pan out to be some white terrorist Christian anitabortion guy that hates blacks and illegals we will hear about endlessly amid a massive push for gun control,

Or a hushed up workplace Muslim violence or drug related minority violence we will hear little about amid a missive push for gun control?

Either way I hope the LE guys end up well.

Multiple LEOs injured, several trapped, homes with people likely in them, bullets sent out, no return fire?

What bothers me most about all the anti-gun posturing over this incident is that Maurice won't be convicted for possession of a firearm by a felon or the slew of city/county/state gun laws he surely violated. If he is even charged with them they will be bargained away during his first court appearance.

What possible good to have more laws that are not prosecuted when violated by the criminal class?

"Statement by United States Attorney William M. McSwain on the Shooting of Six Philadelphia Police Officers

What I witnessed last night was true heroism by the Philadelphia police. But the crisis was precipitated by a stunning disrespect for law enforcement --a disrespect so flagrant and so reckless that the suspect immediately opened fire on every single officer within shooting distance. Only by the grace of God did they survive.

Where does such disrespect come from?

There is a new culture of disrespect for law enforcement in this City that is promoted and championed by District Attorney Larry Krasner -- and I am fed up with it.

It started with chants at the DA's victory party -- chants of "F*** the police" and "No good cops in a racist system."

W'’ve now endured over a year and a half of the worst kinds of slander against law enforcement -- the DA routinely calls police and prosecutors corrupt and racist, even "war criminals" that he compares to Nazis.

This vile rhetoric puts our police in danger. It disgraces the Office of the District Attorney. And it harms the good people in the City of Philadelphia and rewards the wicked.

The alleged shooter last night, Maurice Hill, is a previously convicted felon with a long rap sheet. We have plenty of criminal laws in this City -- but what we don't have is robust enforcement by the District Attorney. Instead, among other things, we have diversionary programs for gun offenses, the routine downgrading of charges for violent crime, and entire sections of the criminal code that are ignored.

The criminal laws in this City -- and especially the existing gun laws and drug laws -- should be aggressively enforced in order to protect the public and the police. My Office is doing all that we can. We have prosecuted 70% more violent crime cases this year than we did last year, in response to the District Attorney's lawlessness. But it is now time for the District Attorney and his enablers to stop making excuses for criminals. It is time for accountability. It is time to support law enforcement and to put the good people of this City first.

The U.S. Attorney's Office, in conjunction with the Philadelphia police and our federal partners, is investigating the horrible events of last night and we are considering all options at our disposal. We will do everything that we can to support our brothers and sisters in the Philadelphia Police Department and ensure justice is done.

To the officers involved last night -- those who were wounded and those who rushed to defend them--– and to their families, I say thank you. The whole City thanks you. We owe you more than we can ever repay."

I'm from Philly as well. Like Arik said, this is a terrible part of the city. It is however near Temple University, which is actually a pretty good school. This was not in the same vein as the El Paso or Dayton shootings, this is just a regular ghetto criminal dipshit doing criminal dipshit things. There is a follow up video circulating of police finally clearing the area after it was over and the locals were verbally harassing, threatening, berating, and denigrating the officers.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/crowd-of-onlookers-taunt-police-during-philadelphia-standoff-reports

Mind you, this is after these "racist", apathetic officers risked life and limb to clear out a day care across the street from the suspect house, as well as neighbors so that they wouldn't get in the lead lanes. I can't believe racist cops would do that.

He got elected by openly admitting that he was going to basically sabotage the criminal justice system in Philly and to bring the police down. The DA refuses to even prosecute many violent crimes. He's not a reformer as much as he's the Philly criminal underworld's inside man. It's so bad that the state AG has begun allowing Philly police officers to to file charges with the state rather than the city for some of the more major felonies.

Pennsylvania Governor Wolf to Sign Sweeping Executive Order to Reduce Gun Violence
(https://www.governor.pa.gov/newsroom/pennsylvania-governor-wolf-to-sign-sweeping-executive-order-to-reduce-gun-violence/)



Harrisburg, PA – Governor Tom Wolf will sign an executive order to make sweeping changes to executive branch agencies and programs to better target the public health crisis of gun violence. The executive order is the result of months of work by Governor Wolf and his administration to focus on substantive steps that can be taken to reduce gun violence and make communities safer. Governor Wolf will be joined by Charles Ramsey, Chair of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, who will use his expertise in a new role advising the executive branch on implementing these changes.

The nearly two dozen new initiatives and reforms directed under the order fall into four primary categories:

New oversight and data sharing
Reducing community gun violence
Combatting mass shootings
Addressing the rising number of gun-related domestic incidents and self-inflicted shootings, including suicides by gun

Governor Wolf will direct the administration to create new state offices focused on violence prevention and reduction, expand programs that promote safety, refocus departments on combatting gun violence as a public health crisis, and increase collaboration and data sharing between the public, government agencies and other states.

“Too many Pennsylvanians are losing their lives to gun violence, and even more Pennsylvanians’ lives are being disrupted by the terror and fear caused by gun violence,” Governor Wolf said. “We simply are not doing enough to stop people from dying and to give communities the peace of mind that they deserve. This order will make sure the executive branch is doing more and focusing on gun violence as both a public safety problem and public health crisis. I will continue to engage the General Assembly in order to advance important gun safety reforms when they return to session.”

More than 1,600 people died in Pennsylvania from gunshot wounds in 2017, a rate above the national average. While all types of violence must be addressed, guns account for the weapon used in 74 percent of all homicides and 52 percent of fatal suicides in Pennsylvania. The spikes in gun violence have led to billions of taxpayer dollars going toward efforts to increase security in schools and other public places and provide medical care to survivors, while families and communities have suffered invaluable losses when loved ones die of senseless gun violence.

Gov. Wolf recognizes that executive action alone cannot end gun violence in Pennsylvania. In addition to his call for a federal assault weapons ban, he will also call upon the General Assembly to pass safe storage legislation to reduce the number of accidental shootings, the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, also known as the red flag law, and mandating universal background checks by the Pennsylvania State Police on all gun purchases.

Governor Tom Wolf recognizes the Second Amendment but believes all Americans and Pennsylvanians have the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that also must be protected. The executive action he will take tomorrow will provide greater protection for all Pennsylvanians by targeting various types of gun violence with both preventative and proactive programs.

MOVE was an organization back in the 80s. Kinda like Black Lives Matter/Black Panthers. They had a standoff with the police which ended when a police helicopter dropped C4 on their house and destroyed a few city blocks! There are pictures somewhere in this topic further up. Posts #17 & 22


Back to your comment. Philly isn't actually all that bad. The DA and the Mayor are ...well....they are what they are but we don't have the types of protests here nor the homeless population. There's no camps, nothing but an occasional homeless person standing at an intersection or sitting by a building. In fact I see a homeless person once every few weeks. Nor the neutered cops that Portland/west coast has. There's no Antifa blocking traffic or massive daily protests. The few protests that have been were quite and fairly small. A "die in" at city Hall and a small pro migrant protest.

Philly PD requires its officers to live in Philly for at least the first five years of their career.

I couldn't stand the title of this thread anymore, it wasn't an active shooter, it was a standoff or siege.

Later it changed to you had 6 months to move in to the city and eventually could leave after 5 years. However, no one works in the district where they live.

This is what he's talking about...
The day Philadelphia bombed its own people (https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/8/8/20747198/philadelphia-bombing-1985-move)

I know about the bombing of the MOVE headquarters in Philadelphia, pretty much a testament to 'common sense, so rare it should be a super power' IMO. S

hould have caught that from the way he capitalized MOVE. My bad.

I wasn't precise in word usage when I used jurisdiction in this case I was referring to patrol area/beat.

The agencies I worked for used either a 'within 20 minutes of..' or 'within the County' metric.

Exactly. If anything he was an IN-active shooter, more of a nacho-eating IED or a land mine.
