Police in Philadelphia shot and killed a Black man on Monday, triggering protests that saw at least 30 officers injured, officials say.
Philadelphia DA’s Special Investigations Unit, as well as the police dept, are looking into the shooting.
As millions of Americans celebrate the holidays with family, there are enforcement families grieving the loss of their loved ones, like that of Baltimore City Police Officer Keona Holley, who was ambushed & killed in the line duty.
