Eagles planning anthem demonstration on Monday night after 2 Philly cops are ambushed Friday

Written by Teunis Felter

A gunman ambushed a Philadelphia police sergeant late Friday night in West Philadelphia, firing more than a dozen rounds before taking off, and then shot four civilians, killing one young woman, and wounded a University of Pennsylvania police officer during his flight before he was finally cornered and killed by police.  That won’t stop many Eagles players from participating in a demonstration against the anthem, however.  “Everybody wants to be a part of it and I feel like it’s no different on our team,” Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins explained.
