It’s now day four since Philadelphia has been rocked by a series of protests that started in Center City on Saturday and has now spread to neighborhoods across the city. But what started as a collection of peaceful demonstrations protesting the killing of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, has given way to escalating vandalism, looting and an increasingly aggressive police response. WHYY reporters Alan Yu, Ximena Conde, Avi Wolfman-Arent, Miles Bryan and Community Engagement Editor Chris Norris chronicle how we got here, taking us deep into what they’ve seen, heard and experienced on the ground.
