In Philadelphia, Mayor Jim Kennedy signed an executive order for an 8 p.m. curfew Saturday night, and it did not expire until 6 a.m. Sunday morning reports CBS Philadelphia. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf also signed an emergency declaration. He supported people's right to demonstrate and protest, but said it was "unacceptable to take advantage of protests to incite violence, harm others and destroy property." The declaration sent additional help to Philadelphia to de-escalate the violence.

The protests in Philadelphia, like those in other major cities across the country, were inspired by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25. Floyd died while in police custody after a police officer kept his knee on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes. The officer has been fired and was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
