Police responded to multiple reports of looting throughout Tuesday evening in Northern Philadelphia.
Videos have been circulating all over social media showing the destruction left behind by the looters.
Watch here:
NEW: Mass looting breaks out in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as criminals were seen stealing IPhone 15s from the Apple Store.
Luckily, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained in 2020 why people loot: To feed their families!
I’m sure those IPhone 15s will taste great.

The looting is thought to result from a judge dismissing a case of a Philadelphia cop who killed a man during a traffic stop.
But we all know these criminals saw an opportunity to band together and loot stores.
They don’t care about any justice.
Only for an excuse to commit crimes.
More on the court ruling from NBC Philadelphia:
Murder charges against a former Philadelphia Police officer who was accused of shooting and killing a man in the city’s Kensington neighborhood in August have been dismissed.
On Tuesday morning in a courtroom at the Criminal Justice Center, charges were dismissed against Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial, who shot and killed 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry on August 14, citing a lack of evidence.
In court, Philadelphia Municipal Judge Wendy Pew determined the incident to be a justifiable shooting.
After the verdict was announced, the courtroom erupted as members of Irizarry’s family wailed aloud upon learning the ruling.
Outside the courthouse, members of Irizarry’s family vowed to appeal the decision.
“We are going to continue to fight. We can’t stop,” said Zoraida Garcia, Irizarry’s aunt. “We showed her. It was a murder. That officer used deadly force. The window was up, the door was locked and you shot through the window six times.”
Don’t forget what AOC said about the lootings, too!
Remember when AOC said people have to loot because they need bread to feed their families?

Well, she enjoyed it while it lasted.
Many of these criminals don’t understand that their actions have consequences.
Fox News has more on the story:
At about 8 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to reports of large crowds of juveniles allegedly looting stores in the Center City business corridor of the 9th District.
ADVERTISEMENT“In a proactive measure, officers from the 9th District stopped a group of males dressed in black attire and wearing masks at the intersection of 17th and Chestnut Streets,” a police spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
As of midnight on Wednesday, police confirmed between 15 and 20 people were arrested during the looting and at least two firearms were recovered.
As officers were speaking with these individuals, they began to receive reports of looting at the Foot Locker on Chestnut Street.
Responding officers arrived at the Foot Locker and discovered the store had been ransacked in a “coordinated attack,” according to the statement. A number of juveniles then fled the scene and at least one adult was arrested.
God bless the Philadelphia police for standing up to this insanity.
If this were California, we would see nothing being done.
Cities need to step up their enforcement of looting so that these people get the idea that they WILL be caught and prosecuted.
