ucd -- making "arrests" ? "undercover" ??? welcome to our SECRET SERVICE DISTRICT
1) Below is why large numbers of officers should be deployed in certain types of volatile situations. The doctrine of overwhelming force is timeless and universal whether old Sun Tzu or modern Powell espouses it. Please keep all our law enforcement officers in your prayers; today we may lose one. 2) UPenn is to be congradulated. The use of UCD is now generic, when Philadelphia Police Officers working in UC are now referred to as UCD officers. Ciao, Craig 2 shootings of Philly officers within span of day Associated Press A police officer was shot in the head in North Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, a day after another officer was shot in the shoulder. The officer was shot around 10:30 a.m. at a Dunkin' Donuts, according to Officer Raul Malveiro, a police spokesman. The injured officer was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, but his condition was not immediately known. Police did not know whether the suspect fled in a vehicle or on foot. Wednesday's shooting came about 12 hours after a masked gunman shot a police officer in the shoulder during a chase downtown. That gunmen apparently jumped into the Schuylkill River, where searchers later recovered a body. Police said Wednesday morning that they had not determined if it was the suspect's body. Traffic Officer Mario Santiago responded to a report of shots fired shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday. The gunman was in a sport utility vehicle when he fired at another vehicle, injuring two men and a woman, police said. Responding to a radio call, Santiago started chasing the SUV. The gunman eventually got out of his vehicle and approached the squad car, firing twice through the window and hitting Santiago once in the right shoulder, police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said. Also Tuesday, a man who fatally shot a police officer during a robbery attempt at a bar last year pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. In May 2006, Solomon Montgomery fired a shotgun out the back door of the bar, hitting Officer Gary Skerski in the neck. Skerski's death marked the first killing of an on-duty officer in Philadelphia in more than a decade. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20071031_2_shootings_of_Philly_officers_within_span_of_day.html -----Original Message----- From: UNIVERSITY*CITOYEN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: UnivCity@list.purple.com Sent: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:43 am Subject: Re: [UC] Why I'm concerned about police deployment ucd -- making "arrests" ?
