This is enough to make you lose your faith in humanity for a while.
A local Philadelphia reporter was shocked to witness a crowd of people jeering and heckling police officers are they were actively being shot at:
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

Many officers were injured, and there was no telling if at any moment someone could have lost their life.
…but these heinous individuals were TAUNTING them.

It bears saying… when an entire political party, and the media who carry their water, have spent years trying to demonize police officers as racist, evil oppressors, is it any surprise that people would behave this way?
It’s absolutely sickening.
Our prayers are with the injured officers today. We wish them a speedy recovery.
