ANTIFA? Why bring that into the discussion? Nothing in the article indicates any political connection.
From the article:
"the officer was trying to intervene in a carjacking"

You are correct MSG Stan Hutchison, there is nothing in the article, but when the suspect was arrested, he was wearing a pull-over with an Antifa associated symbol (the crossed-out dollar sign inside a circle).
However, I did a cursory search online and didn't see any specific connection between Antifa and Miles Pfeffer mentioned in other articles. Maybe he just likes the symbol.

COL Randall C. - Thank you for the polite response, Col. I googled the crossed-out dollar sign inside a circle and found no reference to ANTIFA. I googled ANTIFA symbols and found no reference to the crossed-out dollar sign inside a circle. I would think that was closer to Marxism.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Agree (about thinking it would be closer to Marxism).
I've only seen a few mentions of the symbol being Antifa associated rather than a broad-range "Tear down Capitalism!" one. However, it doesn't appear to be anywhere near as common as their "3 arrows in a circle", "A in a circle", or "flags in a circle" symbols.
You'll always get a polite response from me. Vitriol and demeaning comments are for others. I may engage in a back-and-forth debate (usually when I feel the urge with partisan posts from the right or left), but it will always be civil.

MSG Stan Hutchison, COL Randall Cudworth - The reason I questioned Antifa is in fact because of the crossed out dollar sign on his shirt. Temple University is not know as a bastion for conservatives values. Does it really matter...not really; however, had he been wearing a Trump hat I think we all know where this would have gone.

"The 17-year-old suspect in the murder of a Temple University student over the weekend was arrested and charged earlier this year for a "gunpoint carjacking" but was released after prosecutors withdrew the case because a key witness failed to testify in court, a report says.
Latif Williams, on Wednesday night, turned himself in to the Philadelphia Police Department’s Homicide Unit following the killing of 21-year-old Samuel Collington on Sunday. Officers that day responded to a 911 call for a person with a gun in the city’s north side and found Collington with gunshot wounds to his chest and back. He later was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
"Latif was fully cooperative with police upon learning of his arrest warrant, and he turned himself in voluntarily this evening," Williams’ attorneys, Patrick Link and Marni Jo Snyder, told Fox29 Philadelphia. "We are in the process of investigating the facts of this case and we expect his presumption of innocence to be maintained throughout the judicial proceedings."...
