Similar Stories to ‘the Relationship Has Always Been Tense.’ Philadelphia’s Police Department Has A Troubling History With The City’s Black Communi on Bing News

Philadelphia is the latest American city to be at the center of racial tension and protests, after the Oct. 26 killing of another Black man by police officers. Since the shooting of 27-year-old Walter Wallace Jr. in a West Philadelphia neighborhood by two members of the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD), an all-too-familiar series of events has followed: Protests and rioting, looting, violent confrontations between police officers and demonstrators, and pleas from family members of the victim for people to not destroy their communities. Over 170 people have been arrested across four nights of protests and more than 30 officers have been injured.
