Riot and Looting in Philadelphia

Two days after a judge acquitted a police officer who shot and killed a man at a traffic stop, protests erupted in Philadelphia. Subsequently, a group of masked individuals, led by an Instagram influencer known as Meatball, engaged in a night of looting in the city's main shopping areas. Meatball live-streamed herself inciting the riot and encouraged the looting of stores like the Apple Store and Lululemon. Despite the destruction being on a smaller scale compared to the previous year's protests, the incident reignited discussions about crime and lawlessness in Philadelphia.
