There are some proposed Community Notes for these posts, including one citing statistics that crime is down in Philadelphia. Of course, crime is down if the city stops reporting it.
What follows reminds us a little bit of 2020 and the Summer of Love, but instead, it was just illegal car racing downtown. This is what they do for fun in Philadelphia (and plenty of other cities, we imagine).

Shame on the House Judiciary Republicans for trying to make this partisan.
Here's a local news report indicating that at least six police vehicles were damaged.

How is the car meetup able to happen outside of Philadelphia City Hall?

How were the Police caught flat footed on this?
Regardless, this was all caught on camera. Confiscate the cars. Publicize the arrests.
Because it most likely was people not from Philly who are involved… pic.twitter.com/B155NGOxFT
We wouldn't be so certain about that. They seemed to know the city pretty well.
This is what Democrat rule does

I love how one of the proposed community notes says crime is going down in Philadelphia. If this is what "down" looks like, you're definitely not safe in a democrat run city.

Kamala's America! And if they get arrested she'll bail them out!

It looks like a scene out of World War Z

It takes a mob, too. You don't see a person by himself jump on a police car and start dancing. The mob push each other to take things further.
We no longer have a society.

The crime rates and violence in some cities are definitely a cause for concern. Philly’s got a lot to offer, but the safety situation needs serious attention before things spiral further. It’s time to prioritize real solutions over political talking points.

Looks like a horror film. 👀

It really does. The zombies were probably thinking more clearly than these clowns, though.
Crime rates are down in Philadelphia says the note, ha!

Of course they are when the LEA’s aren’t reporting their crime data to the FBI
This is when you bring in the fire trucks and the high pressure water hoses.

And the National Guard. Remember when the Left had an absolute meltdown over Sen. Tom Cotton's "Bring in the Troops" op-ed in 2020? An editor lost his job over it.
This meet-up had to have been promoted. How did police miss an illegal car meet-up in front of City Hall?
Philadelphia basically looks like a game of Grand Theft Auto now.

It is just sad that we’ve allowed the city where the Declaration of Independence was signed to become this. pic.twitter.com/9JO9PK3Lv2
