Philadelphia police were taunted, shoved and had objects thrown at them by local residents in the midst of an 8-hour standoff on Wednesday where six police officers were shot.

"I mentioned this at 10 and since I was harassed during that live shot, I’ll mention it here too," Philadelphia's KYW-TV reporter Alexandria Hoff said Wednesday night on Twitter. "A major moment of disappointment this evening was watching a crowd of people taunt police officers, laughing and yelling at them in the midst of the gunfire."

As cops are filmed trying to make their way through a crowd, a female resident is seen shoving an officer from behind as another calls him a "b*tch ass n***a."

Scuffles break out between the two camps and objects are seen being thrown at police. Some residents are also seen aggressively bowing up to police.
