Several hundred troops from the Pennsylvania National Guard have been mobilized in Philadelphia following a night of violent unrest over a fatal police shooting, as city officials predict another bout of rioting.

Governor Tom Wolf directed the state’s National Guard to deploy to assist local law enforcement “in protecting life, property and the right to peacefully assemble and protest,” public affairs officer Lieutenant Colonel Keith Hickox said in a statement, giving no specifics for the number of troops mobilized.-

I was in Philly with the straight truck in late 90s. After I made my delivery, I pulled out of the dock and went inside to use the rest room. When I came out some cop had tagged the truck for "parking on curb". I threw the ticket away. A month later they sent the boss a dun for $100. He told me, "Next time you get one of these, give it to me." That cop saw the out of state tags and figured it was sleazy money.
