View on XSome speculate that Eddie Irizarry's death and subsequent dismissal of charges for former officer Mark Dial who had shot him is a large part of the reason for the looting. Police body camera footage of the incident showed that Irizarry was wielding a knife as police approached his car during a traffic stop.
Stanford insisted that a judge recently dismissing the charges "had nothing to do with the protests."
"What we had tonight was a bunch of criminal opportunists take advantage of a situation to make an attempt to destroy our city."
Reports indicated that the looting went beyond Philadelphia's Center City; police responded to an event at a Rite Aid at 53rd and Baltimore Avenue, as well as several stores along 52nd Street. Other attacked stores include JD Sports in Roosevelt Mall in addition to a T-Mobile down the street.
At least 20 arrests have been made since the mass lootings began.
