The mayor imposed a curfew on Philadelphia on Wednesday and called in the National Guard following successive nights of rioting after police shot to death a black man whose family said he was in the midst of a mental health crisis.

The moves by Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, were aimed at curbing incidents of looting, fires and dozens of minor injuries to officers that officials said were caused by people taking advantage of the backlash against the shooting of Walter Wallace Jr to commit crime. The unrest disrupted peaceful protests against police violence, including one that was called off on Wednesday night in response to the imposed curfew starting 9pm.
