A massive violent riot has broken in Philadelphia in response to the police shooting of a black man who ran at officers with a knife.
At least one officer was hit by a large truck, a police vehicle was looted, another was lit on fire, and shops are currently being ransacked. The condition of the officer who was struck by the vehicle is not currently known.
The Philadelphia Police scanner asserted that they have “lost 52nd Street.”
Police have lost control over the 52nd Street area of Philadelphia. Looting is occurring and at least one patrol vehicle has been ignited. Looks like Philly might be in for a long night.
