The Gun's They Are Ablazing

In the last week, three Philadelphia police officers have been shot, including two in the last 14 hours.

The officer that was shot last night, was shot about a block away from my office. The perpetrator had shot three people only minutes before he fired at the officer. The officer even though wounded chased the suspect. The suspect in an attempt to elude police jumped into the Schuylkill river. An extensive search went out for the suspect. A few hours later his body was recovered, hence saving the taxpayers a lot of money.

The officer was taken to Jefferson University Hospital, where he is recovering.

Another officer was shot in the head earlier this morning. So far no details have been released as to his/her condition.

The murder rate is already out of control, here. The Mayor is burying his head in the sand (and his iPhone), shootings are commonplace. What is it going to take to get this shit to stop.

Not a lot of brotherly love of late here in this fair city, and doesn't seem like anyone cares...
