Philadelphia Police Investigating New Threat Against Law Enforcement After Ambush
WCAU - NBC10TV ^ | January 10, 2016 | Morgan Zalot

Posted on 01/10/2016 1:52:14 PM PST by abb

Tensions ran high in the Philadelphia Police Department Sunday in the wake of an attempted assassination of an officer by a man allegedly claiming he did it "in the name of Islam" after an anonymous tip to officers on Saturday said the threat against police in the city is ongoing.

According to a police report obtained by NBC10, an anonymous tipster told officers that, "the threat to police is not over" and that the man who shot Officer Jesse Hartnett is "part of a group that consists of three others," adding that alleged shooter "is not the most radical of the four." The report obtained Sunday goes on to say the tipster told police to "be careful.”

Law enforcement officials confirmed Sunday afternoon that police did indeed receive a tip that Edward Archer, the man accused of approaching Hartnett's patrol car at 60th and Spruce streets Thursday night and opening fire on him at point-blank range, was working among a small group of radical men. Authorities said the tip came from a woman who approached an officer on the street.

Police said they are taking the tip seriously and investigating, and that on Sunday, they were issuing memos to all law-enforcement agencies to warn them to stay vigilant as the investigation continues.

The Philly police will be paying particular attention to non-Muslims.

There needs to be an extra security to safeguard the Liberty Bell - America’s Symbol of Freedom!

It sounds like radical Islam has been taking lessons from #blm. “Hey! If they can get away with it, we should do it too!”

But this can’t be. The Mayor said Islam is not responsible!

But, even though the assassin admitted he was a Muslim bent on a terrorist act (e.g., ambushing and murdering a police officer), the mayor denied that Islamic terrorism was involved. Say what? How effing stupid is this Donkey moron? I suppose further terrorist acts against police will be called “work place violence” by the mayor.

We were in Old City district a few weeks ago - but won’t be going back until hubby can get his PA carry lic. Used to be we didn’t need that to travel ‘equipped’. Anyway, about six weeks or so back a co-worker texted that the line (PA) to get the carry license was out the door and down the block. People weren’t giving up, they waited.

And I suppose the rest belonging to this ISIS cell will be deemed mentally ill also and their actions excused on that basis.

One could argue that Hitler and his NAZI generals were mentally ill also, but that didn’t stop the US from defining them as enemy combatants and declaring war on them.

“the mayor denied that Islamic terrorism was involved.”

Liberals never admit failure because it is only failure in
the eyes of normal and principally grounded people. To them,
they cant be wrong because they are constantly redefining
their reality. They believe their own lies even when they
know they are lies.

“One could argue that Hitler and his NAZI generals were mentally ill also,”

Not the same case here. The perspective is reversed. The world knows the Obama is mentally ill. The Obama and the
liberals are on the muslin terrorists side and to them
the US is insane. They have declared war on America and
the Obama is allowing 100’s of 1000’s of fighting age muslims
in the country under the guise of refugees.

Philadelphia has literally become one of the very top cesspools in the united states. The few good people should get out and, we should build a fence around it.

Solution: Call on the police, ranchers and militias to round up Obama, all the muslims and the liberals and send them to concentration camps. There’s a used concentration camp in eastern oregon, but it can be recycled. I’m sure Texas can contribute a concentration camp or two.
Then the military can take out muslims in the western world with the help of those countries who were once our allies.
Any muslim left-overs and liberals can be shipped to Saudi Sharia Arabia. The liberals get a free trip to muzzieville so that they can live out the rest of their lousy lives with the muzzies they love and protect from the rest of us Bible, gun-toters.
Trump can build a wall around the middle east and make the Saudis pay for it. He could probably even get Putin in on the plan.
