Hundreds ‘ambush’ Tampa police responding to report of shots fired, 2 officers injured, chief says

Two Tampa police officers were injured early Saturday after a crowd of hundreds surrounded a group of officers in an "ambush," the Tampa police chief said.

Officers were responding to a report of shots fired and a possible gunshot victim at an intersection near the Ybor City neighborhood around 1 a.m., Chief Brian Duggan told reporters Monday. A crowd of hundreds was at the scene when police arrived.

As offices searched for a possible victim, Duggan said the hundreds of people blocked all four ends of the intersection and became aggressive. The crowd surrounded officers, threw bottles and glass, and jumped on a police vehicle. Officers could not locate a victim.

"It's an ambush. I have no other way to describe it,” Duggan said. “When there are that many people out there and clearly no one had been shot. It was just a set up to get the cops there."

Republicans are quiet and democrats are cheering. The Only republican who isn’t quiet is the President but he is pretty much a one man band. Bill Barr spends his day in accusation mode “ does nothing” and playing bag pipes in the mirror at night... Republicans have no spines and democrats are cockroaches and will run when the light is shined on them but it doesn’t happen. Silent majority will not win this time. The
Dug in older democrats are in denial because radical left is coming for your pensions and ss also. Give it time.

Around here cops have deadly weapons.

The POTUS needs to hit the red button. Our existing police do a great job but need more manpower, same as any occupation that has a increase in demand. Dispatch the MP in force and those men and women will sweep the streets of any and all debris. Somebody needs to protect the innocent. I’m too damn old or I would go postal until overtaken.

1155 - crickets because advance notice via all media is not in the "manual" for War - snowflake.

You enter the theater of operations, strategically remove the enemy, exit, report to your chain of command and await for new orders.

Grow up cupcake!

Not many cops here have armored tanks equipped to rotate. Don’t you get the feeling when a deadly weapon is being used and a mob come up from the back side, your ass is grass.
