Looting and rioting broke out in Philadelphia in what has become an all-to-common scene in recent months, as Black Lives Matter rioters were captured on video seeking justice by stealing big screen televisions at a Walmart.
The riots broke out and quickly turned to looting sprees in the City of Brotherly Love following the death of Walter Wallace, Jr. who was shot after seeming to charge at police with a knife.
The National Guard was called in to control the chaos in the Democrat-run city.
