Philadelphia continues its spiral into chaos under Democratic leadership, with violent mobs once again taking to the streets, this time attacking police officers and patrol cars in a brazen display of lawlessness.
According to reports from 6 ABC, hundreds of cars and massive crowds participated in illegal car meetups, causing widespread chaos that lasted from 9:30 p.m. Saturday until 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
At least 11 meetups took place, six of which turned into violent confrontations with police. The mayhem resulted in the hospitalization of one officer, while five police cars were heavily damaged.
The injured officer was transported to Temple University Hospital in stable condition after his vehicle was struck by a car fleeing the scene.
Deputy Commissioner Mike Cram of the Philadelphia Police described the recklessness.
“Everything they do is disruptive, they’re ruining the quality of life. At one point, they had a flamethrower—yes, there’s video with a flamethrower.”
“They’re able to disperse quickly and then reform at other locations. That’s why we have officers dedicated. It’s playing wack-a-mole. We hit them at once, and they move to another,” he added.
“It was the aggressiveness at some of the locations — the incident outside of City Hall was aggressive. They physically went after our officers,” Cram said. “They don’t care about your safety, their own safety. You’ve all seen the videos of their behavior. How much chaos can they cause?”
As lawlessness reigns supreme in this Democrat-run city, House Judiciary Republicans weighed in with a blunt warning: “You’re not safe in Democrat-run Philadelphia.”
Even tech mogul Elon Musk couldn’t help but weigh in, tweeting, “Pretty sure I saw this scene in The Joker.”
