The left’s war on law, order and rule of law. A left-wing protest was planned for Friday night in North Philadelphia to support Maurice Hill, the gunman accused of shooting six Philadelphia police officers. Organizers say they expected 200 to 300 people to rally.

Hundreds expected at rally for man accused of shooting 6 Philadelphia cops
It’s the kind of thing that leave you without words.
There’s a rally planned Friday night in North Philadelphia in support of Maurice Hill, complete with a protest.

He’s the man accused of shooting six Philadelphia police officers. And according to organizers, they’re expecting hundreds of people. Why? Because apparently… racism.
“Free Maurice Hill! Africans have the right to armed self defense!” reads the flier.
It goes on with its misspelled racist literature:
“Defend African resistence! The state is ther (sic) criminal!”
Guess who will also be there? According to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross, the police will be there also. And he’s sick over it.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is in charge of the case. He said on Thursday that 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.
Thankfully, all six officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries. They were all released from the hospital Wednesday night.
Welcome to the cop-hating community.
The day of the shooting, police officers were taunted laughed at by a crowd of bystanders during a tense standoff in which those Philadelphia police officers were shot during a hostage situation.
And the intense events of the evening will be something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.
Alexandria Hoff tweeted about the raucous group that laughed while officers fought to neutralize the threat and free the innocent hostages inside.
I mentioned this at 10 and since I was harassed during that live shot, I’ll 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
Read that again. While police officers were battling a well-armed criminal with obvious intent to cause harm… these people laughed and cheered the gunman on.
That’s the anti-police world we apparently now live in.
The suspect in the hours-long standoff on Philadelphia’s north side surrendered to authorities just after midnight Thursday, exiting the residence with his hands in the air and with a police light shining on him, surrounded by a cloud of tear gas.

The chaotic scene stretched on for over 7 hours as six officers were shot — and two officers and three hostages were later freed, apparently unhurt.
Three officers were rushed to Temple University Hospital, officials said.
Three other officers were taken to Einstein Hospital, at least one of them was shot in an arm. All six officers were in stable condition and treated for non-life-threatening injuries before doctors released them, Philadelphia police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said the outcome “nothing short of a miracle that we don’t have multiple officers killed today. We are so thankful for that.”
Two other officers, including a police sergeant, were injured in an accident related to the emergency response and were being treated. Their injuries were believed to be non-life threatening.
The suspect was identified by unnamed police sources as 36-year-old Maurice Hill from Philadelphia.

The alleged shooter has a storied and well-documented history of gun-related convictions and of attempting to evade arrest, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Ross said two officers with the Narcotics Strike Force were serving a warrant at the multifamily home, for 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.
Officials stated that the shooter was armed with an AR-15 and several handguns.
Ross said many rounds of ammunition struck a SWAT vehicle and multiple buildings across the street.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said he’s “angry about someone having all that weaponry and all that firepower.”
Officials negotiating with the suspect tried to assure him that he would not be harmed if he surrendered, to no avail.
“We’re just trying to do as much as we can to resolve this peacefully,” Ross said while trying to end the standoff.

In another shocking twist, a local politician sat back and campaigned for donations to his political race, apparently using the shooting to raise money.
Using violence to fund your political agenda? Horrific.
Tragically, this is far from the first time we’ve seen bystanders root for suspects to kill the police.
Just a few months ago, when Sacramento Officer Tara O’Sullivan was viciously gunned down by a domestic abuse suspect, officers at the scene found themselves surrounded by neighbors celebrating the shooting.

People can be heard shouting “get your s&*( in order” and “get your lies together.” One woman repeatedly shouts “y’all all need to be shot!” and then repeats “y’all all need to be!” several times.
“Quite frankly, it’s disgusting,” said FOP Vice President Jay McDonald. “Officer O’Sullivan was still…had not gotten the medical attention that she needed and deserved. The law enforcement officers had to devote their attention and their resources to containing an unruly crowd, who was heckling and taunting them while one of their own lie mortally wounded.”
Another woman called two male officers “cowards,” “bastards,” and “f*&^s.” Another woman shouted a threat that she would “whoop their little butts.” As officers placed crime scene tape around a perimeter, a woman verbally assaulted them, calling them “cowards” many times.
This is a sad state to be in. Our officers deserve better than this. We deserve better than this.
