We like people not getting shot. Even for the cop haters here, I’d say they agree that the everyday cop doesn’t deserve to be gunned down.

"Good" cops who see bad cops do bad things and don't report it because "thin blue line" are not good cops.I am told the everyday cops enable the bad apples, so they're all complicit. Plant grow of the highest stakes, or something.
Not sure if serious, or what your point is? This particular incident (and many others) certainly would never have occurred had they not been there on a drug warrant.I think the more compelling thing is that a cause, but not the proximate cause, of this is the war on drugs. Can't get shot as a narc cop if there is no narcotics division, amirite?
Yeah, it was a pretty insane scene. I listened to the police radio when they first had officers down, it was wild.Jesus. Just read the perp was shooting through the ceiling to the second floor where two cops AND 3 handcuffed people were (I’m assuming who were his boys)
Not to make light of this....but just imagine what the F was going through the minds of the handcuffed dudesYeah, it was a pretty insane scene.

Yes, and the war on drugs extends beyond just bad policing. Bad local policy, bad small time prosecutors, and bad judges.A serious sentiment stated flippantly. I hadn't noticed you said the same thing in the other thread or I wouldn't have mentioned it. The War On Drugs both breeds contempt and acts as the catalyst for these kinds of things. No real good comes of it.
@AuthorTonyFRIEDENS, SOMERSET COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) –State Police have filed charges on a Somerset County couple who faked a pregnancy, birth, and death to get money from friends and family.
Kaycee Lang, 32, and Geoffrey Lang, 27, are charged with faking a pregnancy and birth of a child, then setting up a GoFundMe account to help with expenses for the death of the reported fake baby.
The GoFundMe is reported to have gone live in early July.

1. To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment.
2. To recognize always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.
3. To recognize always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws.
4. To recognize always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives.
5. To seek and preserve public favor, not by pandering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humor, and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
6. To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.
7. To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
8. To recognize always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary, of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty.
9. To recognize always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.
Trailer court? Would've never guessed that.I'm going to have to figure out where they live. They could be my neighbors.
Edit: They apparently live in a trailer court about a mile from my house.
Maybe Jose Tabata is already broke?That scheme is far too advanced for a Somerset native. They had to have had outside help.
She deleted her Facebook page, but this backwoods dipsht apparently couldn't figure out how to do it. A ton of people are commenting on his wall, it's entertaining.I'm going to have to figure out where they live. They could be my neighbors.

Dafuq are they going to be protesting?PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A controversial protest is planned Friday night in North Philadelphia to support Maurice Hill, the alleged gunman accused of shooting six Philadelphia police officers. Organizers say they expect 200 to 300 people to rally tonight.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross says police will be there too.
“Sadly, we do have to be there, I don’t understand it. There’s certain marches I do understand, this is definitely not one of them,” Ross said.
Hill is still in jail right now while he waits to be arraigned.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Thursday Hill will most likely face charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault, among others.

“There will be a lot of charges. These are more than enough charges so that Mr. Maurice Hill may never exit jail,” Krasner said.
All six police officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were released from the hospital Wednesday night.
