Got it. Thank you both, @BehindBlueI's @5pins.

Right now it appears the team protecting the SPPD Western District Headquarters are trying to head off a possible assault.

Bro', if you need to bail, I got a room with private shower downstairs for you and yours.

They’re looting Footlocker and a liquor store right now.

TJ Maxx just got set on fire.

Wonder how many small businesses lost a ton of money from the shutdown only to end up looted or burned down?

Personally, if a business owner shot a looter and I was on the jury, that business owner would be walking free. I HATE people who take advantage of situations like this to loot and destroy.

I was at USC when the LA Watt's riot started. Wow. Googling 60's riots and reading this stuff will amaze. During this time handguns were definitely difficult to find. Vietnam contributed to this too. Note that in today's climate looters are referred to as protesters.

In jails it is not uncommon for a supervisor to videotape handling non compliant inmates who are also violent. If a population subset is over represented in at risk categories that include criminal history, violent behavior, and such, then some of those arrested might be extremely difficult to process. Hence aggressive restraints might be used. I predict that police procedures will change to adjust accordingly. At the same time posturing will increase. Foot chases will cease. Traffic offense citations will decrease. Turning a blind eye to offenses will be more common.

For sure. I was a kid during the DC riots in '68.

My mom was a Public Health Nurse in Alexandria. We lived not far from current Landmark Plaza (no clue if it is still there.) My dad worked in DC. I remember driving down 14th street. I have images in my head of a war zone (I was 9 at the time.) No bueno.

Did you hear the police, on the radio, say that the owners of the tobacco shop next to it are armed?

Time to channel your inner roof-korean, St Paul.

Yup, it's still there. The Landmark Mall nextdoor is vacant.

I do all of my shopping the other direction, though. What little crime there is in this area generally is around North Van Dorn....

Yep. It does not surprise me. I hope they have no further trouble.
The PD is currently trying to clear that whole very large lot. The brown 3 story building directly behind the medical offices opposite LA Fitness is the SPPD Western Precinct. Across the street from that is the Target that was attacked earlier today.
