When a group of longtime Fishtowners decided to mobilize on the third day of Black Lives Matter protests in Philly because they heard “looters” were coming, there was reason to trust the source. It was officers from the 26th Police District who alerted them, multiple people told Billy Penn.
A group of armed Fishtown men took the advisory as a call to action. That Monday night, they took up bats and other makeshift weapons and formed a roving crowd.
