As demonstrations continue in Philadelphia, I'd like to address some incidents that have taken place since yesterday.

We applaud peaceful protests and support Black Philadelphians’ demand for change.

But some are using this pivotal moment to create chaos. Last night, a group in Fishtown made a show of protecting their neighborhood.

Their actions were antagonistic, exemplified deep divides, and made a bad situation worse.

I'm glad police moved in to disperse the group, but I'm not happy with how long it took. That was a mistake.

We expect that increase to continue.
