Dailymail | Amid the violence, the White House issued a statement just before 1 a.m. Wednesday asserting that the unrest was another consequence of 'Liberal Democrats' war against the police' and that the Trump administration 'stands proudly with law enforcement, and stands ready, upon request, to deploy any and all Federal resources to end these riots.'
'Law enforcement is an incredibly dangerous occupation, and thousands of officers have given their lives in the line of duty,' said the statement from press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
'All lethal force incidents must be fully investigated. The facts must be followed wherever they lead to ensure fair and just results. In America, we resolve conflicts through the courts and the justice system. We can never allow mob rule.'
Philadelphia officials had anticipated a second night of unrest Tuesday, and a Pennsylvania National Guard spokesperson had told The Inquirer that several hundred guardsmen were expected to arrive in the city within 24 to 48 hours.
