My brother is very close to one of the riot locations in Philly. He said that there were Police helos buzzing his neighborhood all night. Another friend of mine who is still local told me they hit all the stores along a road I used to live on.
One of the 76ers, Joel Embiid, tweeted directing the rioters to my brothers neighborhood because "that's where all the cops live." He told them to look for "blue lights" outside of homes, because that's how to identify where cops live.
Kinney, the mayor of Philly, is a progressive. He has the "we have to give them space to destroy" mindset that the ex mayor of Baltimore so infamously voiced during the Freddy Gray riots.
