| [FoxNews] Philly drug bust fails as 12 fat guys stand behind 6 fat guys and 2 crash on the way At least six Philadelphia police officers were shot, reportedly grazed in the head, in an ongoing shootout in the city's Nicetown neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon that has been unfolding for almost three hours. Three officers were rushed to Temple University Hospital, officials told Fox 29. Three other officers were taken to Einstein Hospital, at least one of them was shot in the arm. All six officers were in stable condition and being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
The dramatic shootout in Philadelphia stretched on for hours as six officers were shot -- and two officers and three hostages were later freed, apparently unhurt. The suspect was identified by unnamed police sources as Maurice Hill, 36, of Philadelphia. Hill has a long record of gun-related convictions and of attempting to evade arrest, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Ross said two officers with the Narcotics Strike Force were serving a warrant at the multifamily home -- in what may have been a drug-related offense -- when things "went awry almost immediately," and the shooter opened fire at the home. The two officers were barricaded in separate rooms with several hostages.

| #9 Re. #8, Procopius2k. Those percentages are just about right. For four years, I worked in a Jail ministry in tennessee that was able to flip those statistics so that of the 80 or so prisoners we recommended for release, only 15-20% returned to Jail. We had a lot of cooperation between the Warden, the officers in charge, another Jail Ministry that had connections with numerous employers willing to take prisoners, and one of the Municipal Judges (I testified during a release hearing that he was holding, and when I mentioned our Jail ministry, he was all ears, and thanked me from the Bench for all our work.) Mind you, we were VERY selective in whom we recommended, looking for evidence of real change rather than blind leftist-liberal adherence to "ideals" (that later became Social Justice thinking). Good times. VERY good times. |

| #8 Let me just check rate of recidivism - National Statistics on Recidivism. Property offenders were the most likely to be rearrested, with 82.1 percent of released property offenders arrested for a new crime compared with 76.9 percent of drug offenders, 73.6 percent of public order offenders and 71.3 percent of violent offenders. |

| #4 "12 fat guys stand behind 6 fat guys and 2 crash on the way" I have no idea what this headline means. Is this some kind of slang spoken by only one person? |

| #1 "Nicetown" - got it. The part of Philly where, "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. CBS3’s Alexandria Hoff reports a crowd of people laughed and yelled at officers in the midst of gunfire during a standoff on Wednesday...." F--- those BLM idiots. They have undermined police in every city in this country, from New York to Philadelphia and Baltimore and St Louis and across the nation. BLM morons have blood on their hands. |
