A 30-year-old Philadelphia policeman was shot and killed yesterday by a wanted felon who fired several times into the fallen officer as he lay wounded on a North Philadelphia street. "He stood over the top of him and killed him," said Homicide Capt. James Clark, who called the killing of Officer Patrick McDonald an "execution." --snip-- The gunman was identified as Daniel Giddings, 27, who was recently released from state prison after serving time for a 1998 robbery and aggravated assault

but I am sure this will not affect the Philly cops from endorsing Bama baby.....

[Joe Boucher]

Only way this murderer gets what’s his due is if the cops do him in cause the damned supreme court will likely stop any execution of this cop murderer.

[Kid Shelleen]

Don’t be so sure; This is the FOURTH officer killed in the line of duty within the last year..

[geezerwheezer]

This is a stain on the folks in Philadelphia. Perhaps they need to finally get their act together there and stop this in its’ tracks.

[Allegra]

It's a quagmire. We really ought to withdraw from there.

Prayers up for the officer's family.

Behold the New Mumia.

Couldn’t agree more. Save the family their grief and the taxpayers their money because once the courts get a hold of him he’ll spend the rest of his life with three hots and a cot. This is sickening. This human excrement needs to be put down.

While calling on his radio for assistance, McDonald gave chase for about a block, catching up with Giddings on the 2200 block of North Colorado Street, Clark said. The two got into a scuffle, he said, and the gunman stood over the fallen officer and fired multiple shots into his upper body.

Notice they use the term multiple shots.....no mention of the between 11-15 rounds fired into the police officers chest.

Wonder if Springsteen is going to write a song about that???

[Kid Shelleen]

The perp was killed at the scene by back up officers.

The police union promotes the ills that cause cities to decay. The union leaders have his blood on their hands.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Prayers up for the family of this Cop.

This must be where the Left comes in with their “Free Mumia” signs.

Troubling that this guy shot several times in to the fallen cop. No excuse, and I don’t give a crap whether he was abused or discriminated against when he was a kid.

Guess that is why I never became a cop, cause if I came upon this guy I’d take him out.

[Cindy]

Ditto.

[G.Mason]

They did.

[Westbrook]

From the article:

"The mayor can't do it," said Audrea Stancil, 60, a funeral director. "The government can't do it. The people here need to do it. This is crazy. This is crazy."

Yes, the people need to do it.

Allow the people to arm themselves, and when a felon like this one is killed, rather than convene a grand jury to investigate the killing, present the citizen who killed him with a financial reward and the keys to the city.

Wonder if ...no ...impossible ...But man if McDonald had killed the perp ...Calling Al Sharpton ...

The best aspect about concealed carry is that you have no idea if the person next to you is armed. If just 10% of the Philly (if the world needed and enema, philly is the place of insertion) populace would be armed a crime like this would likely not happen.

It isn’t the weapon or the upright citizen carrying ... it is not knowing for sure who is. With just 10% carrying ... think of the poor odds for an execution style murder in the streets. Even a dirtbag thug can figure odds are against him.
