Philadelphia protests turning violent; what's happening in your AOR?
Working in the Bureau's Phila office operations center tonight and seeing multiple police cars burning, protesters hopping all over the PPD's armored vehicles, three (so far) officers suffered chemical burns to the eyes as protesters have chemicals in water guns, trying to burn the Rizzo statue, tore into a TD bank, siege at the municipal services building??, all around city hall, smaller group just left liberty bell area. No real response from police that we've observed other than some non-lethal such as OC from officers in the armored car. Oddly enough, heard PPD put out a description of a guy who was open carrying an AR15, had a permit and they left him alone.
Bureau restricting any employees coming in that are not part of incident response so it looks like I'm in for a long night...

Reason: ommission
"Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy." or in light of current events: training to stop a rioting, looting, molotov cocktail throwing, skinny jeans wearing, uneducated bunch of lemmings duped by, or working directly for, a marxist organization attempting to tear down America while hiding behind a race-based name
