Residents have taken advantage of the protest in Philadelphia, to break into shopping malls, carting away several items across the city after a black man was shot dead by a cop.
The protests started after a Philadelphia Police officer fatally shot a Black man in West Philadelphia, USA.
Residents living around the area gathered in West Philadelphia around 7 p.m. Tuesday, October 27th, and marched to the 18th District police headquarters.
Also, Tuesday night, the lawyer for the family of Walter Wallace Jr., who was shot dead by police, said the family had called for an ambulance, not police, to get him help with a mental health crisis.
The death of Walter in front of his family members sparked outrage, which in turn spurred demonstrations and then ransacking as hoodlums took advantage of the situation.
Authorities in Philadelphia declared that two officers were hurt during Tuesday night’s unrest, but they didn’t disclose the extent of their injuries.
