- Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross wasn't happy about a protest planned for Friday night in support of a man accused of shooting six cops earlier this week — but told KYW-TV that police will be present.
Ditch the fake news
"Sadly, we do have to be there," Ross added to the station. "I don't understand it. There's certain marches I do understand; this is definitely not one of them."
Organizers told the station they expect between 200 and 300 people to attend the North Philadelphia protest on behalf of Maurice Hill, who finally surrendered to police after nearly a seven-hour standoff Wednesday in the city's Nicetown-Tioga section.
All six officers who were shot sustained injuries that weren't life threatening and were released from the hospital the same day, KYW reported.
But if some "community" member lights up a barbecue, wings grandma, three cousins and kills an eight-year-old, you can bet there isn't going to be shit done about it.
