Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf ordered National Guardsmen to Philadelphia on Tuesday, following a night of riots that left 30 police officers injured and various businesses vandalized.

The riots began after police shot and killed 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr., an African American man, who officers said approached them with a knife. Video of the incident showed Wallace walking towards officers with his mother attempting to hold him back, and when the camera points away police fire several shots.

~~~~~~

Video I saw on TV definitely shows he has a knife, and the camera does not point away.

A little late on the trigger there Governor.

This whole thing is the family's fault. They knew Wallace was a mental case, so instead of calling a psychologist, psychiatrist, or EMT as Biden and Bernie recommend, they called the police.

That's a sarcastic comment by the way.

Tommy Boy thought it would be helpful to show how Trump doesn’t make it safe for people.

Polling showed Pennsylvanians correctly put the blame on HIM.

Hello....National Guard????

Too little, too late. Significant damage and looting has already occurred.

Maybe the people of Pennsylvania will think a little before they elect people like Wolf again.

Kayfabe. Unless National Guard rules of engagement involve doing things rather than watching rioters burn and loot, the riots will continue. When the National Guard deployed during the LA riots, rioters were shot.

Why so late?

Democrat Governor Wolf see the polling numbers?

Did the Philadelphia police spread word that they were going on vacation?
