Philadelphia sees more protests and looting as authorities investigate police shooting of Black man with knife
Protesters took to the streets for a second night after officers in Philadelphia shot and killed a Black man who was holding a knife in an encounter city officials say raises questions.

I understand *some* of the prior protests but can’t understand this one.... if someone (doesn’t matter race, doesn’t matter mental health issues) comes at you with a big knife as a police officer- a taser or non-lethal force isn't really an option. Does anyone think it is?
Are we rioting and burning random businesses now every time the police kill someone black?
