    RIP, Officer Wilson.

    They said more than 50 shots were fired in the GameStop. That's a lot of shots in not a lot of space.

    And, reports are they found an AK-47 in one of the suspects' home.

    Apart from your new jihad here YF, what is it you are looking for from this thread? Are you expecting someone to come here and say this isn't awful, that he deserved it because he's a cop?

    He was shot by a lowlife piece of shit, I doubt anybody is going to argue that with you.

    I'm sure this can all be traced back to Mayor de Blasio and his pal Al Sharpton. Philly is just 95 miles away.

    That area is not too far from Temple University. It's also probably the worst neighborhood in the entire city. In fact, it's at the exact spot where Connie Mack Stadium once stood. Maybe YF has something against the Phillies.

    Seems to me if you want to honor soldiers you'd fight to keep them out of harm's way in the first place unless absolutely necessary

    I've said it before on here. We are about a year or two away, if that, of standing ovations for cops at sporting events. It's going to be the soldier in the first inning, Officer Friendly in the second inning. Comic book superheroes, all of them.

    Yes, sending them there and telling them they can't shoot back is much better.
