Several police officers in the city of Philadelphia have been injured in an “active and ongoing” shooting situation, authorities said on Wednesday.

Sgt Eric Gripp tweeted there was at least one suspect firing at police officers Wednesday afternoon.

Video shows a huge police presence in a neighborhood with dozens of police cars and officers, many of them with their guns drawn.

One officer appeared injured and was taken away in a police car. Video also showed two other officers carrying a man and putting him in the back of a police car.

It’s unknown if any police officers have been shot.

Until we have laws deterring violence, this will never stop. Middle Ages rule of law was more effective than current consequences of feeding and housing bad guys.

Agree. Going medieval would not only significantly lower violent crime, but would save taxpayers a lot of money.

But.... But, this dude has ‘sanctuary’- a sanctuary city - so why is the constabulary trying to impose its will?

The only thing better than throwing commies out of helicopters is dropping military satchel charges on commies:

“The suspect is livestreaming it on facebook..Per broadcastify.”

And this is moved to chat. Where are all the cries to de-platform Facebook like they did to 8chan. This is much worse.

Uh huh.

From what I heard on the radio, the officers' wounds were grazes, nothing serious.

...when you're so incompetent you can't even get the false flags right?

So this is an active shooter.

Just asking. What's a passive shooter? Is that anything like a "love crime" ?
