"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."

"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."

It started during a narcotics warant raid/arrest attempt.

Well, they sure are hell bent on cramming as many shootings into the month as possible just in time for congress to reconvene...

I can't wait to listen to all the cop-haters clamor for more laws because "officer safety".....

North Philly, I’m going to go out on a limb here...not a white supremacist and not a legally purchased/owned firearm.

I was listening to some of this on my phone via a scanner app earlier this evening and apparently the suspect was livestreaming on Facebook from his position during the standoff.
