Philadelphia will impose a city-wide curfew starting Wednesday at 9pm to try to quell the looting and violence that marred two nights of protests over the police killing of a black man who was under mental duress, the mayor's office said.
US President Donald Trump, who is seeking a second term in office, has made policing a top campaign issue, calling for a tough "law and order" stance on the protests. In Nevada on Wednesday, Trump called the events in Philadelphia "terrible" and offered to send federal help."What I'm witnessing is terrible and frankly that the mayor or whoever it is that's allowing people to riot, and loot and not stopping them is also just a horrible thing," he said.
Tuesday's rallies began peacefully but grew confrontational as darkness fell, just as on the previous day.
