PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Hundreds of protesters marched in Philadelphia for the second weekend in a row amid nationwide demonstrations demanding deep changes to policing in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Organizers of one march proposed that the police budget be decreased by about 50 percent and more money be provided for services such as libraries, parks and recreation and health and education services. Protesters also gathered earlier in west Philadelphia at the site of the police bombing of the radical group MOVE’s row home headquarters 3 1/2 decades ago that caused an inferno that killed 11 people and destroyed more than 60 homes.
