TL;DR Summary

Supporters of Eddie Irizarry gathered outside City Hall in Philadelphia to protest a judge's decision to dismiss all charges against former police officer Mark Dial, who shot and killed Irizarry during a traffic stop. The protesters marched through Center City, decrying the judge's ruling and chanting slogans against the racist system. Irizarry's family expressed anger and vowed to continue fighting for justice, while the District Attorney's Office appealed the decision in an attempt to refile charges against Dial. The dismissal of charges was met with praise from Dial's supporters and outrage from Irizarry's family, who believe that the ruling allows police officers to get away with murder.
