PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Looting and demonstrations continued for a second consecutive night Tuesday in Philadelphia following the fatal police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr. in West Philadelphia. Police say looting along Aramingo Avenue in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond neighborhood has “rapidly gone downhill” Tuesday night and is a “total loss.”

The city is asking residents to stay indoors in West and North Philadelphia, Port Richmond, Kensington and Fishtown. Protesters continue to face off with officers in riot gear outside the 18th Police District at 55th and Pine and along the 52nd Street commercial corridor.

Police have made several arrests.

Chopper 3 was over looting on Aramingo Avenue in the city’s Port Richmond neighborhood around 8:30 p.m.

1. Are the Boogaloo Boys and their ilk involved, like they were in Minneapolis?

trying to stir things up and peddle false information to all sides.

4. From the footage, no. Also...

This IS Philly. They riot when the Eagles lose. Also when the Eagles win.

2. Vote not loot

Election is 5 days away. Vote in off-year elections as well. Many candidates who are unworthy get elected in the off year elections. Guess where these poorly trained policen come from? Decisions made by officials in off-year elections.

5. boogaloo boys, white supremacists and other opportunists

...stage these incidents of looting and vandalism to broadcast 'concern' over the internet, and post the images to make it appear the city is in some sort of seige from crime.

Similarly, police provoke peaceful demonstrators and attack them for little more than standing with a sign or shouting, using those incidents to justify more confrontation, using the incidents to conflate crimes committed with the movement

We can see the police in riot gear provoking peaceful protestors who are unarmed and threatening no one. That's the state of affairs, not these overblown stories which come directly from police reports and blotters.


...this hit-and-run post is irelevant to anything we represent here.
