Philadelphia ends 2021 with the most murders in the city’s history
Philadelphia police keep getting shot at while responding to shootings
I Got Your Back: In 2020 the year before Philadelphia set it’s All-Time record for murders, the then and still current Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw took a knee in solidarity with members of black lives matter protesting against the Philadelphia Police.
Police confirmed that at least 30 officers were injured in the night of unrest, including one female officer who was hit by a truck and sustained a broken leg.
Rioters looted several stores and at least one restaurant, and police said that more than 30 people were arrested for throwing bricks or rocks at officers or looting.

PHILADELPHIA APPROACHING 100 HOMICIDES SO FAR THIS YEAR, ON PACE WITH CHICAGO FOR MURDERS IN 2022
“The evidence collected thus far that it was Thomas Siderio who discharged the firearm into the police vehicle,” Outlaw said Tuesday.
Outlaw said the action violated the Philadelphia Police Department’s use of force directive.
Outlaw declined on Tuesday to say whether Siderio still had a firearm when he was shot. Sources told Fox 29 that footage of the scene appeared to show Siderio did not have a gun when he was shot. A stolen 9mm handgun was recovered from the scene.
Could the stolen 9mm handgun… recovered from the scene have been thrown there by Siderio? Surely if forensics proved that Siderio fired that stolen 9mm, Outlaw would say so. Reportedly there have been documented instances, when criminals shoot at police and flee they often times ditch the weapon. Ah what does it matter, the officer violated the Philadelphia Police Department’s use of force directive. Besides apparently only ‘One police officer was injured by shattered glass due to a bullet hitting the car’s back passenger window’, it’s not like he was actually hit by a bullet.
Wonder if the officers who were shot at lost any sleep over this?

Two officers then reportedly exited the vehicle and each discharged their weapons once. Officer #1 continued chasing Siderio as the other officer took cover. Officer #1 fired two additional shots and struck Siderio in his back.
