Unequal justice in Philadelphia By Betsey Piette posted on July 14, 2021 Fishtown residents raised fists in solidarity with country-wide protests against the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. (Kimberly Paynter/WHYY) Philadelphia As protests over the police murder of George Floyd engulfed the U.S. in spring 2020, in Philadelphia two polar-opposite demonstrations took place.  On the afternoon of June 1, thousands of demonstrators protesting police brutality spilled onto the I-676 highway in Center City. Police responded to these peaceful protesters with a barrage of rubber bullets, tear gas and pepper spray directed at individuals’ faces, while they freely used their police batons. Several people were injured, and hundreds were arrested with many still facing charges.
