In N. Philly gun standoff, alleged cop shooter Maurice Hill has a long criminal history

There were two cops trapped on the floor above the shooter along with three perps in handcuffs. They made their way out somehow. Shooter was on floor below them, supposedly shooting up through the ceiling. Awfully dicey but all in all the cops were in a relatively advantageous position given the circumstances.

Same manure, different pile.

This guy should be doing serious time for the litany of crap he dodged. The criminal justice system isn’t broken. But I can point out several Pennsylvania judges who are.

Not hostage, but pinned down.

Exactly. POSs like that need to just “disappear” never to be seen or heard from ever again....just gone from the face of the planet....worm food.

"The standoff began Thursday about 4:30 p.m. when a Narcotics Strike Force unit attempted to serve a search warrant at a house on the 3700 block of North 15th Street."

So they were busting a drug dealer. Risky, huh! Not as feel-good as violating the Second Amendment rights of law abiding people with more anti-Second-Amendment laws. But drug busts are what is needed to cut down on the mass murders.

Cheers to the good work and courage of those police in Philadelphia. America thanks you! We would love to see more of that in other states.

I think the main problem in all these inner city murders and shooting is that there are laws on the books that a felon can not have a gun. Nobody, the feds prosecute that law, or very rarely.
One gun control law I’m up for is a 20 year no parole sentence for a felon in possession or using a gun. The feds need to get busy.
This felon has been repeatedly about 12 times locked up for violent felonies. WHY WAS HE OUT?

#2. It’s Philadelphia, Jake, forget it!

Corrupted since the mid-70’s when the Dems and black leftists took the city over and it never recovered.

I lived there at school in the early/mid 60’s and the Democrat mayor Dillworth was actually a nice guy who introduced “homesteading” (home ownership to low income renters in the areas just below Temple Un (below Montgomery Ave and Broad). It was a success.

Next came former Police Chief Rizzo who tried to hold the line against the massive drug trafficking at Broad and Diamond, but the Dems won the next election ahd the decline started right then and there.

"Mr. Johnson, you are being reprimanded for your misconduct in four client matters. In general, this misconduct reflects your lack of competence, lack of diligence, reckless misstatements to a tribunal, mishandling of third party funds, and engaging in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice. "

With bleeding heart DAs and judges, even a public defender can get these guys sprung.

In Chiraq, they would release him without bail and then the DA would decline to prosecute. Standard procedure directed by Mayor Groot, Crimesha the DA, and Chicago Police Superintendent Special Ed.

I was going on ‘memory’ ...here is the full story..it starts in 1972 and 1977 (when Rizzo was Commish or Mayor) for the first confrontation..

In the 1985 (what I was referring to) I believe Goode was Mayor and the Police Commish was Sambor...

The POS surrendered to the cops a bit before midnight Eastern time. None would have occurred if the animal had been locked up for life, as he should have been long ago.

I have been a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania since 1991. (Also licensed to practice law in a couple of other states.) Attorney Shaka Con committed perjury by filing a false affidavit and lying under oath. Each act is a 3rd degree felony.

Color me shocked that he wasn’t disbarred And incarcerated.

[Bommer]

See! You see! That ale a white gun toating racist and Trump and the Russians paint him black to try to make it look like blacks are criminals. Hands up don’t shoot!

[Amberdawn]

Especially with that Soros bit*h, Krasner being DA.

[Fred Nerks]

His clients must all be wealthy, he’s got it all, silk suits, gold and diamond bling, fancy car...bulldog struts like he owns the neighbourhood.

[grey_whiskers]

So we see the efficiency of RED FLAG laws in action.

Wasn't it already illegal for this dude to have guns?

[mabarker1]

And I get arrested and spend 7 days in County for a $52.50 NSF Check.

Plus all the other BS.

Oh! Wait, I’m a white guy.

Now it all makes sense...
