Tonight, after a judge dropped the murder charges against the police officer who killed Eddie Irizarry, people in Philadelphia engaged in multiple forms of protest, including looting corporate stores like Apple and Foot Locker.
This is a rational protest tactic in a society in which police murder hundreds of young people of color with impunity every year, in which millions are forced to scrape by in poverty while billionaires flaunt their wealth.
In the words of one witness of tonight's protests in Philadelphia, "Everybody must eat."
