The shooter pledged his allegiance to ISIS, stated he shot the cops because the police enforce laws contrary to the teachings of Islam, and had made at least 2 trips to the Middle East staying there months.
YET....the mayor of Philly went on TV and stated this shooting had "nothing to do with islam", that the problem is lack of gun control. So, who thinks the mayor should be required to undergo a full mental examination prior to resuming his "duties", whatever he views them to be? BTW, the gun used was a weapon stolen from a police officer!

I think he meant that ISIS is not about Islam. The religion, to many is a peaceful religion, just like our Christian religion does not support the KKK. Just my thoughts on it. I am not saying that I agree with that thought, just a hypothesis.
Normally, based on the evidence given to us by the news network, I would usually or automatically consider this to be a terrorist attack. However, this guy was a nut case, so I wonder if he was just using this as a catalyst for the attack on the police. I'm not saying he wasn't a terrorist, but it appears that he was not a part of or member of a terrorist organization, even if he says that Islam was his motivator. Just basing my thoughts on the limited information gathered from the news. It's not meant to be an argument, but just my thoughts. I am not going to jump to the conclusion that this is a terrorist plot when it might be just a solitary nutcase with an anger issue, criminal anger issue. For some reason, it seems that every time we have a killing, someone wants to assign a label to it, trying to rationalize how it could happen and understand why it wasn't avoided. Sometimes, it just happens and can't be preempted. AND, this is not a case for gun control. It was a stolen gun, a police weapon that had been stolen. So, lets not start a gun control debate over this.
