The protests, which continued into the early hours of Tuesday, turned violent at times.
One officer was in hospital with a broken leg and other injuries after being struck by a pickup truck.Police said it happened at about 16:00 on Monday, when two officers responded to a report of a man with a weapon in the neighbourhood of Cobbs Creek in West Philadelphia. At Tuesday's press conference, officials said the officers both fired seven shots each. The officers, who have not been named, were wearing body cameras and did not carry stun guns.
the guy ran at them with a fucking knife, what would you do?
'Unrest'. The self-identifying world's most trusted news agency there. Try 'riots'.
The guy was charging the police with a knife, why couldn’t the police use a taser on him, they seem too happy to use guns when they’ve got other methods available to them
After police shooting? Interesting word play. DefundTheBBC
Fresh unrest means looting.
Police done right thing if the guy stabbed someone sick or not would of been worse if the guy really has a sickness down for the people looking after him great job police protecting people is the top priority remember that
why because he had a knife ,if he had stabbed someone would you have reported it no ,
What has looting burning beating up white people got to do with police shooting a knife wielding maniac? They ought to send the army in and bring law and order to these cities
Just in time for Christmas shopping looting
Police Officer defends himself, colleagues and wider public and people steal from shops as a result.
Never take a knife to a gun fight!
Violence and looting is not protesting! These idiots are burning down there own cities. Don’t want to get shot by the police, then don’t run at them with a knife!
And the answer to police violence is, of course, send more cops into the street to compound the brutality and inflame more rage. We seem quite incapable of imagining a new approach that might work better. We need to take a real close look at why that is.
Apparently these people's lives matter!! Not so much after this.
Looting and threatening behaviour you mean?
The BBC is unable to prevent the WOKE activists within their institution from influencing the production and editorial Output. It is time to end the BBCBias and ScrapTheLicenceFee DefundTheBBC ~
The usual BBC Bias!
Any excuse for rioting and looting...
So police aren’t allowed to save their own lives now from a man coming at them with a knife?
BLM rioters loot stores after police shoot criminal with knife who refused to follow simple instructions to drop said deadly weapon and continued to come towards officers. There fixed it for you.

Feral vermin, the lot of them.
The guy was shot for literally charging police with a knife. Why don't you include that in the headline?
God sakes, they take anything as an excuse to rob a high end retailer, doesn't matter if the guy was armed and refused to comply, it must mean all cops are bad guys and I need to steal some Air Jordans as justice. Fckin clowns
Enemy of the people
You say unrest, I say looting.
Philadelphia rocked by looting you mean.
