A crowd outside a Philadelphia home taunted police as they battled an AK-47 wielding gunman accused of shooting six of their officers and holding another two hostage on Wednesday.

The man finally surrendered after a dramatic standoff that lasted nearly eight hours.

'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,' tweeted CBS3 reporter Alexandria Hoff early Thursday morning.

The socialist ‘RAT supporters are some pretty disgusting people.

For some of these urban Rat hate zones, we need the Escape from New York solution - withdraw, build a wall and let no one and nothing out. Let them feed on and kill each other.

(I watched a lot of this (while reading a book) and I wondered immediately why they just didn’t fill the place with tear gas and stop the incident....which is what happened, in the end, many hours later. Why draw it out, get officers injured and risk an Amish riot?)

It’s impossible to laugh while a Malinois has a mouthful of yer yarbles.
Why are they not releasing the hounds?

Those “communities” exist because taxpayers pay them to breed.

STOP paying people to have illegitimate children. The illegitimacy rate in the inner cities is 90% or above.

“Shaka Johnson said the suspect called him around 8.30pm.

‘Maurice called me in a panic, obviously. He did not want this to end violently and he really was sort of taking an opportunity to speak his peace. I told him “You gotta surrender, man,”’ Johnson told the news station.”

Did not want this to end violently huh?............was that before or after he shot 6 police officers I wonder.

I already know what the blacks in the big cities will say if all police officers refuse to answer distress calls in their hood.

It’s virtually guaranteed that snopes will write 5000 words claiming this didn’t happen.

But “guns” are the problem.

Those oxygen thieves are the first to squeal like the pigs they are about any slight or “disrespect” but expect & demand that the police protect them from themselves as they murder each other like it’s a sport.

The shooter in Philadelphia just helped PDJT get re-elected.

I’m very glad that I do not have to work in, live in or visit in any way any of the Democrat shithole cities in America.

This is the kind of thing that causes me to think a “CWII” is in our future. It won’t start everywhere at once, with a formal “declaration”, but could start in just this kind of setting/event, and then spread. The Antifa sorts might seize such riots as an opportunity for armed conflict. What we’ve seen so far is that the police often “stand-down” in such situations. When citizens step in and start returning fire to protect themselves and their property, things could get very, very bad.
