Mayor Kenney and Commissioner Outlaw address the city after a day of protests and violence. PHILADELPHIA - Saturday's violence not only angered and upset the Philadelphia community, but it also profoundly upset city officials who openly denounced the atrocious acts Sunday afternoon.
Both Mayor Jim Kenney and Commissioner Danielle Outlaw took to the podium to share their thoughts on the peaceful protests that eventually gave way to looting and riots.
The peaceful nature of the Justice for George Floyd protest was overshadowed by ensuing violence and ultimately prompted a strong police response and a mandatory, city-wide curfew set to resume at 8 p.m.
