    Isis probably won't claim this one.

    That guy should totally be tried by a jury of his peers and given a punishment commensurate to the gravity of his crimes.

    definitely. Philly is a tough beat in just about every neighborhood. Respect and hoping he fully recovers from his wounds.

    LOL, that video. I'm going to target a cop and run like hell. I don't think he though through this much.

    You should go protest a mosque to show your disgust with this statement.

    I'm glad the cop is expected to make a full recovery. Horrible crime for that person to do.

    Welp, you can all have your debate. I'm sure there's lots of great points to be made.

    Not debatable: the involvement of a firearm in this firearm-caused shooting is, as always, holding steady at one hundred percent.

    Elaborate. This should be interesting.

    Are you one of those idiots who believe head of states should be theologians and condemn Islam? Are you one of those idiots who believes that DEVGRU is confused about their targets because Obama doesn't state 'Islamic terrorism' to the public?

    Ya you probably are.

    I wonder how much Trump's messages help push people like this idiot over the edge to take actions?

    Please elaborate. Why is he a dumb ass? Or do you think part of the responsibility of a mayor/governor/ head of state is to become a theologian?

    I don't see how it "has nothing to do with any faith."

    That said we don't need to get hysterical like Trump and discriminate against Muslims or ban refugees, which I think is his real point

    Why does it matter that a mayor suggested that? Will that affect any task force in how they investigate and do their surveillance?

    Doesn't it make sense for a leader to tell the public not go around and blame Islam and Muslims? Philadelphia has a sizable Muslim population? Do you think it's wise for the mayor state "Islam is at fault?"

    I think if he articulated the points you just stated it would have been better
