You have to wonder why anyone would want to be a cop these days.

It seems like it’s open season on officers.

First we heard of a crowd in Upper Darby that showered beer bottles on an officer who was trying to arrest a police suspect.

Now there is word of a similar situation in Chester. And it’s not the first time.

Police in the city responded to a report of a shooting in the Crosby Square Apartments in the city early Saturday morning. The incident occurred in a one-block area where more than 100 people gathered.

But when officers tried to make their way through the crowd to get to the shooting scene, they found their path blocked by the crowd, according to Detective Capt. Joseph Massi.

Eventually officers had to use tactical weapons to make their way through the unruly crowd and get to the shooting victim.

Oh, and of course one other thing. Even though the intersection was packed, no one saw anything. Police report no witnesses have come forward with information in the case.

It’s the second week in a row officers were called to the Crosby Square Apartments. Police believe the trouble is a result of a feud between factions from Crosby Square and the William Penn Housing Development.

Explaining the behavior of the crowd is not as easy. It just makes you shake your head.
