Several Rite Aid pharmacies and other retail stores were burglarized
Angry protesters clashed with police and looted businesses in western Philadelphia Monday night after a 27-year-old Black man was shot to death in a confrontation with city officers earlier in the day.

It’s well known the best way to achieve racial equality is to break into ATM’s
Nurses on Submarines is why I joined the Navy.
Will someone say out loud that it’s a bad idea to rush a cop with a knife and you should expect to be shot 100% of the time?
Another unavoidable police shooting of a black which just gives a lot of them the signal it is OK to start looting.
yeh...very incomplete and selective list...also sexist because he left out Breonna. What’s WRONG with some people,y’know???????
Nah, I don't want to be Cancelled.
Here’s a clue. Calling criminals “protesters” is akin to calling the libertarian drug addicts living in the streets “homeless.”
Burn. Loot. Murder.
This is rediculous! These people do not care about the man who was shot. They are just creeps who use the cover of the riot to loot and steal. The cops did nothing wrong and they know it, but it’s an excuse to raise hell and steal. I agree with President Trump. They should all be locked up. Putting up with it should stop, right now. They are hoodlums!
It’s a ridiculous Democrat Alternative Reality.
President-in-Waiting Harris did say “this is not going to end, and they shouldn’t.”
Folk just doin’ as they been ‘structed.
How can you “raid” an ATM? Aren’t those machines ironclad? Article doesn’t say if they just smashed screens or if they actually got any cash...?
didn’t read the article, but did the AP also report that several bystanders we can call ‘volunteer social workers’ tried to talk the deceased down for several minutes prior to and after the cops arrived, to no avail? Or did they insinuate that the cops just pulled up, jumped out of their car and started shooting? I’m guessing the latter.
Hmm...Mr Wallace is willing to bet THEIR lives on a Tazer which is effective ... SOMETIMES.
Wonder if he'd be willing to bet HIS life on one?
Perhaps he should watch the video out of Chicago a few weeks ago where the large man with the large knife was tazed and went down, only to jump up and close with the tazer weilding female officer.
