A protester in West Philly has stolen a police hat and baton and is patrolling the streets

SWAT being deployed in West Philly

Reports of protesters attacking police with fireworks

"We are pushing this large crowd west on Market towards 53rd, we need to secure 52nd street"

"We're getting outflagged at 51st and Market, people are throwing bricks and bottles"

State police on location with horses. Reminds me of my favorite NATO 2012 protest chant: "Get Those Animals Off Those Horses"

500 Protesters descending on Municipal Services Building, the site of the Rizzo Statue. Unknown if they're gonna take another stab at bringing it down.

"We're never gonna be able to hold this area without shields. They're throwing shit at us"

"We're Going To Deploy Gas at 52nd and Arch. Wind is blowing south so officers south of there need to get out"

Loud shouting on band that they need more officers to push crowd at 6th & Arch

"We got a crowd here pushing up from the north on 52nd"
"140 S 52 is on fire"

Protesters are throwing rocks at police at 52nd street

Multiple arrests at police headquarters that ended with the crowd being dispersed

The McDonalds at 52nd is apparent on fire. Less than 2 hours ago this building was the police's "preparation zone"

Large crowd at 53rd and Chestnut. Police Chemical attacks appear to have failed miserably at dispersing protest.
