While Philadelphia police officers were dealing with a gunman who shot six of their own during a standoff at a home in the Nicetown-Tioga section, cops also had to deal with being taunted by some bystanders. CBS3s Alexandria Hoff reports a crowd of people laughed and yelled at officers in the midst of gunfire during a standoff on Wednesday.

I mentioned this at 10 and since I was harassed during that live shot, Ill mention it here too. A major moment of disappointment this evening was watching a crowd of people taunt police officers, laughing and yelling at them in the midst of the gunfire. #PhiladelphiaShooting

Police say officers were serving a narcotics warrant on the 3700 block of North 15th Street around 4:30 p.m. when the suspect opened fire. As police exchanged gunfire, officers escaped through windows and doors.
Six officers were shot and transported to local hospitals. The officers have since been released. From 4:30 p.m. until 8 p.m., gunfire did not cease for more than 40 minutes at a time. For some, the near constant sound of shots felt like nothing more than a reality of where they live, and for others it brought back memories of a war zone.
Its unsafe, but this is the hood. This is what we live with everyday, one woman said.
When they started dumping with the firepower and stuff like that, they did it in front of the day care, the babies were out and everything, thats crazy. Im a discharged veteran. I thought I was in a DMZ zone. Its triggering PTSD, all types of things, all of this needs to be resolved. Its senseless, seriously senseless, another woman said.
Sources tell CBS3 that the scene was sheer chaos as officers were taking fire. Video from Chopper 3 showed officers with guns drawn at the scene.
Sources tell CBS3 the suspect was live-streaming some of the shootout while he barricaded himself inside the home. Police say the gunman surrendered and was taken into custody shortly after midnight.
*******
This report cannot be right.
There are gun control measures in place that prevent this from happening. We know this because the Left tells us this kind of gun control legislation will keep guns out of the hands of bad people.
Of course we know that isn't what gun control is about. It's about people control.
I prefer Chicongo.
I wonder why she got out.
I would rather be in Iraq than North Philly.
Many years ago I stopped watching the local Philly news channels due to the obvious left-leaning slant each story was cloaked in. Im in the process of teaching my local-Philly-news-loving-Mom to not get her news from the left-biased ch 3,6 & 10 stations. Shes starting to see the light. I call Philly New York light, as they are Dem strongholds and any sympathy I might have had is long since gone.
Nicetown doesn’t really seem very nice.
Let me take a wild guess. They were misunderstood black animals from the ghetto. How close am I?
See? Gun control works
Standing and watching a fire fight is not real smart. It is not a spectator sport.
Typical Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media - NO Lie They Won't Tell... those were Animals, not People.
Remember what happened the last time? They burned down the block! These are row houses, dry timber waiting to light up. This is a very bad idea. A shoot out is almost as bad; bullets don’t stop at the back wall, contrary to Hollywood, they keep going.
A bad business all around. Hopefully, the morons doing the pushing will get arrested and jailed for assault, but I think the police did a good job not escalating while a shoot out was ongoing.
If we could somehow disarm democrats, there would be no shootings.
yup- obama voters one and all.
Sell them to the Chinese who will break them down and sell their body parts.
When are we going to subsidize stable, 2 parent homes?
Holy cow...that video! I thought you were kidding with the “hoodrat shit” comment...but that was word-for-word from the little punk. He’ll be imprisoned for life by 18...or dead. The latter would be the best-case scenario, sad to say.
3rd worlders.
I wonder if Hill has any children. It would be a shame to separate him from his family. /S

So?
Hope you live with it more and more every time to saunter on down and yank the Dem lever.
The American cities fall like dominos, and half the US voting population continues to elect Democrat politicians to powerful positions and is fighting tooth-and-claw to prevent the only man--President Trump--who holds the promise to save them, from doing exactly that!
Half the US population is insane.
The US news media, academic institutions, "celebrities," and much of the intelligentsia spread the insanity like Typhoid Mary.
The insanity is the decadence of Western Civilization, which has infected Europe and America like the Black Plague and, if not checked--and fast!--will be far more deadly.
