Funny how we have yet to see a mug shot or description of the shooter

and a police scanner.

Uh oh, here we go….

You would wonder what brand of scanner he was using? After something like this happens…… well you know what might come next in regard to open channels

Hopefully not a Luxury Scanner

Sadly the scanner will get more negative press than the assault rifle or the man's motivation. That's Philly.

It was five dead two more injured including a child, not the only shooting yesterday in Philly and yes there is no photo of the perp but we won't get into that.

Scanner won't make any difference as Philly is streamed on radio reference all districts dispatch and it's a simulcast area and we don't even know what kind of scanner it was. Philly also uses encrypted tac channels for police and fire.

The assault rifle will be the focus, give them time, again not the only shooting yesterday in Philly. Very large number of insurance claims for bullet holes in cars in Philly, regular drive-bys, regular daily shootings and murders.

Just listen to J band, the Citywide flash alert talk group on your phone. No scanner needed.

For those who want to investigate social media, not mainstream media regarding the murderers social media postings, it will say it all.

Whats the murderers name ?

 

[garys]

You can be sure that the police did. As did the media to determine if they should cover the story or bury it.

How about we try to keep this radio related please. I said please.

 

[RFI-EMI-GUY]

A very confused person with complex ideologies. Its all over the Daily Mail UK. A dodgy "pay for print" newspaper that apparently has moles inside Menwith Hill passing on secret US traffic as they always have a 24 hour advantage with breaking news.

And yes he/she had a scanner/radio.

 

[chrismol1]

a real scanner or scanner app?

Exactly, it's all out there for anybody who wants to know and so far nobody's close. I will bow out here.👍

Even being reported in Canada he had a scanner. Maybe it had issues with Philly's simulcast and he did not have an SDS scanner. Just a theory...

 

[garys]

Doesn't seemed to have helped him as he got caught anyway.

 

[captaincab]

He had a baofeng that’s what I heard.
