| (WPVI/6 ABC Philadelphia) |
And I'm sickened watching what happened in Philadelphia tonight.
We're seeing New York City police officers kill themselves. Eight of them have taken their own lives in 2019. (UPDATE: NINE)
Earlier today in Philadelphia, police went to serve a warrant on N. 15th St. in the Nicetown-Tioga area of town. Then gunfire erupted.
Six officers have been hit by bullets. Fortunately, their wounds are said to be minimal.
There was once a time when this would have been a pretty major story for our "Big 3" networks (ABC/NBC/CBS), but continuing coverage of such things has migrated over to CNN/MSNBC/FOX News and so on.
Except, the last I looked, it was full Trump obsession talk.
So my kudos goes to KYW Newsradio 1060 AM.
Yes. Radio. AM Radio.
For the win.
They sound exhausted as they've been on the case for hours.
My hat is off to them.
This does not take away from any previous story. Gilroy, El Paso, Dayton, and every other shooting deserves attention.
But there are people actively celebrating the NYPD cops who have killed themselves. There will be those saying, "Good," for this situation tonight.
Without climbing on any soapboxes, I'll just offer that it's sad.
There were shots being fired at police on a city street. It was frightening to watch.
It's terrible to watch.
Thank you to KYW Radio for their continuing coverage, as well as the Philadelphia police scanner via Broadcastify.
Radio still matters.
