Very fluid. Police seem to have upper hand again. Several were trampled moments ago by crowd trying for highway. #PhillyisBaltimore

Someone took a cop's hat off & tossed it in the crowd. Protest no longer about peace; I'm out. #PhillyisBaltimore Not @PhillyPolice fault.

Although it was "tense" for 10 minutes, this is overwhelmingly peaceful! Describing it otherwise is disengenious. https://t.co/uRKB7Igo8D

#PhillyisBaltimore. Offices/banks/etc closing early. Choppers overhead. Why are we so less willing to clean up PD or fix structural poverty?
