‘In death as in life may no cop rest peacefully,’ they boast.

I remember when ISIS was running out of ideas to show how evil it was. After beheading non-Muslims and raping children, the Muslim terrorist group decided to burn a man alive.
Hamas supporters seem to be approaching that same drain.
Earlier this year, Philly honored Sgt. Robert Wilson III.
Robert Wilson III was gunned down while trying to stop the robbery of a Philadelphia GameStop store. Nine years later, the hero Philadelphia police officer is being remembered for giving the ultimate sacrifice to protect his community.
Wilson, a 30-year-old father, was killed on a snowy March 5, 2015 when two men attempted to rob a North Philadelphia GameStop store. Wilson was inside the store in full uniform buying his son a gift when two armed robbers entered and announced a holdup.
The officer got into a shootout with the two gunmen, diverting gunfire away from store staff and customers. Wilson was struck six times by gunfire and later died from his injuries.
Following the killing, Wilson was posthumously elevated to sergeant, his family was awarded the Medal of Valor by then President Barrack Obama and the police department renamed one of its most prestigious awards for him.
How respected is Sgt Wilson in West Philly?
During the BLM race riots, when all of society and the media had been rejiggered to denounce the police and sanction BLM crimes, there was an outpouring of outrage when his mural was vandalized.
A crowd of city officials and West Philadelphians gathered Tuesday morning to condemn the recent vandalization of a mural honoring Police Sgt. Robert Wilson III, who was killed in 2015 by two gunmen while trying to stop a robbery.
On Sunday, the mural, located near the intersection of 60th Street and Baltimore Avenue, was tagged with anti-police acronyms “ACAB” (“All cops are bastards”) and “FTP” (“F— the police”). The Fraternal Order of Police is offering an $11,000 reward to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest of the perpetrator.
Baukman was one of about 50 people who gathered at the mural Tuesday morning, including State Sen. Anthony Williams, Mayor Jim Kenney, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, police officers from the 18th District and older neighborhood residents. Participants called Wilson a hero and posed for a picture in front of the newly clean mural.
Major Small and Rodney Willis both grew up in Cobbs Creek. They remember playing basketball at 61st and Baltimore with Wilson, whom they called “Robby.”
“First, he gives his life, then they disrespect his mural. That’s not right at all,” Small said. “They got a tough job — they gotta watch themselves and watch out for us.”
Now Unity of Fields, one of the vectors for the pro-terror hate in America, posted a message boasting that the mural had been vandalized again,”We painted over a mural memorializing a dead cop. We took this action as part of the October 7 Week Of Rage in solidarity with Palestinian liberation. We recognize amerikkkan police as part of the same machine that kills and oppresses Palestinians across the ocean. In death as in life may no cop rest peacefully”
