Chaos erupted in the Mission District of San Francisco, where more than 100 people, mostly minors, were arrested at the annual 'Dolores Hill Bomb' skateboarding event.
Hundreds took over Dolores Street to ride their skateboards - or anything with wheels - down a huge hill near Dolores Street.
Officers described the event as unpermitted, non-sanctioned and one that has previously taken over streets and caused mass property damage.
Footage from the Saturday event shows large crowds cheering as children and adults furiously rolled down the steep descent - some flying off their boards and hitting the pavement only to get back up to do it again.
The annual event quickly descended into chaos as reports of vandalism, illegal fireworks, gunfire and violence erupted, causing riot police to storm the gathering.
Videos of a significant police presence as officers dressed in full riot gear navigated the street and made arrests surfaced from the gathering.
Children vandalizing a light-rail vehicle with graffiti and screaming 'f*** the police' emerged as footage showed the large crowd quickly dispersing as cops closed in.
A pair of young adults pretending to use their skateboards as guns and others jeering and laughing at police were also common themes among the countless videos and pictures that surfaced.
Police arrested 32 adults and 81 minors were cited while multiple firearms, unignited fireworks and narcotics paraphernalia were seized from the crowd.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said that 'this behavior will not be tolerated' thanking responding officers at Saturday's event.
'This behavior will not be tolerated in our city and I thank our officers for taking action to hold those accountable who brazenly engaged in reckless and dangerous behavior and violated the law. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries,' he tweeted in the wake of the event.

Just looks like another cultural event.
America being fundamentally-transformed.
Hope.
Change.

Savages. Nothing but savages. And ALL of them want freebies.
No work ethic.

I saw a video of a bunch of Somali teens in Minneapolis on July 4th shooting off fireworks in a park downtown. It was getting out of hand, and the police showed up on the perimeter. They started shooting the rockets at the cop cars, and the cops left.
Then some kid got hit in the stomach by a rocket (maybe a gunshot). Video shows them yelling “call 9-1-1!” . Most of them scatter, but a few try to help the kid holding wadded up shirts to his gut. The police came to help. Although they all had rifles and created a perimeter facing the 6 teens remaining on the scene as they pleaded (with their hands up) for them to help their friend.
What a dump!
Summer of Love. Pelosi voters.
It was predicted in Isaiah 9:10 and came true in America where it was launched on 9/11.

When the government (by restricting police) allow small crimes to go unpunished it leads to more crime
Once again, the European media covering what our media doesn’t want to cover, the truth.
if you want to destroy the existing society and replace it with your Marxist utopia, this is how you do it.
Should’ve called it the George Floyd memorial skateboard event....

The Harvey Milk Democratic Club was critical of the police response releasing a statement on social media Sunday saying they were 'outraged by the large scale show of force by police in military gear against teenagers at Dolores Park.'
SKATEBOARDING
IS NOT A CRIME
Yes, and the poor oppressed darlings will almost certainly not be prosecuted.
. How there's a single police officer left in that urban toilet is beyond me.
Sometimes I wonder if it is even possible to “make America great again.” I don’t think it is. Way too many assh*les running around on our streets. We’ve got younger generations that have gone full retard. TWD Retard Walkers.
I can remember when Minneapolis was a civilized city. Before they started importing African savages into Minnesota.
