The Purge comes to the City of Brotherly Love
From Steve Keeley of FOX29 Philadelphia:
BREAKING: @phillypolice officers instructed to stop making arrests for following list of what are consider non-violent crimes. Here is the email sent to city police officers telling them to just obtain arrest warrants for now. @FOX29philly pic.twitter.com/GYl13T67uK

This is from Philadephia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw (never was a name more appropriate):
You can mug someone, steal their car, and go loot a store and all the Philadelphia police will do is write your name down so they can serve you with a warrant for your arrest at a later date.
She might as well have announced, “all property crime will be legal between 4:00 PM and Midnight.”
At this point I’d like to know which will kill more Americans under the age of 60, the Coronavirus or criminal taking advantage of the virus-induced police stand-down.
