Our police scanner in #Philadelphia seems to report no activity, they are either using a different channel or moved to encrypted comms.

Any live info (or a working scanner) from anyone on the ground is greatly appreciated. Thanks for doing your amazing work :)

EDIT: Our scanner is working, live updates are still appreciated though!
