Push has literally come to shove in Philadelphia Thursday night as protesters marching in solidarity with Baltimore are struggling to force their way past police and take over the highway. The march has sent #PhillyisBaltimore trending, which stands for either “thousands of people spreading love” or “fighting cops” depending upon whom you ask.
