San Leandro: Police task force forms to address teen ‘wilding’
From the article (2014):
The move comes after attacks in San Leandro, where large groups of teens allegedly attacked and robbed people in recent days at Bayfair Center and near a BART station.
San Leandro police, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and BART police will meet Friday to coordinate a response in the event there’s more violence this weekend, said San Leandro police Lt. Robert McManus, who will lead a task force grappling with nearly 20 similar robberies. Law enforcement agencies involved will include Berkeley, Oakland, Newark, Hayward and Union City.
The robberies and attacks can be described as “wildings,” McManus said.
“It may not all be the same group but it is the same type of activity, where it’s unruly groups of teens that are primarily traveling by BART train and coming out to intimidate and commit crimes of opportunity and are attacking the victims in packs,” McManus said. “A task force is being created. We’ve reached out to all law enforcement agencies that have a BART line.”
Was it the Amish again?
Are they still terrorizing urban areas?
Under age or not, police or BART Marshall's should use lethal force from now on. These PUNKS should be treated as they were by Inspector Harry Callahan in the 1970’s...
Not that you could carry enough pepper spray to defend against 40-60 “teens,” but I am wondering if pepper spray is legal in California.
