So, I guess protecting the blacks is officially less important than taking people’s guns?
The media is now reporting on black shootings that a couple of weeks ago would have been totally buried.
At least three people were killed and 10 people more wounded in a mass shooting in Philadelphia late Saturday night, police said.
Gunfire erupted in the city’s bustling South Street neighborhood near 3rd Street shortly before midnight, Philadelphia police told WPVI.
Patrolling officers heard numerous gunshots go off and rushed to the area, where they saw “several active shooters” firing into the crowd, Inspector DF Pace told the station.
One responding officer shot at one of the gunman, police said. It’s unclear if he was hit.
At least one shooter dropped their gun, which was equipped with “an extended magazine,” The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Cops found two guns at the scene, according to the newspaper.
Cops said two of the deceased include a 25-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man, the newspaper said.
Seven victims were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, including one of the deceased victims.
Racist hospital smdh.
The blacks deserve better.
