I don’t see the cops tackling and cuffing the girl as “shocking”. However, I do find the total crumbling of civil society shocking to witness. From the video, it appears the one girl was attacked simply due to the color of her skin.
Agreed. And headline is misleading. I didn’t see a 200-person brawl. I did see a lot of black teens egging on the black girl to attack the white girl.
From the video, it appears the one girl was attacked simply due to the color of her skin.
Hard to believe that girl didn’t catch the video of the poor girl in missouri who ended up in the hospital fighting for her life with major brain damage. This girl is lucky she’s still in one piece.
“it appears the one girl was attacked simply due to the color of her skin”
And she was arrested, not any of the animals who were part of the onslaught. By Mexican “police”.
Just never call it a Hate Crime.
Long Beach Police Chief ‘proud of officers’ response to brawl at Southern California mall

Chief Wally Hebeish says officers were aware of the large meetup well ahead of time and adequately prepared for any issues.
“We had hundreds of juveniles come to The Pike as part of a viral social media meet-up,” Hebeish said in a post on the Long Beach P.D.’s Instagram page. “Our officers were prepared and extremely visible throughout the downtown area.”
Hebeish adds that authorities declared a stage two tactical alert, which allowed the police department to ensure it was adequately staffed for the meet-up by adjusting the work schedule for officers on Saturday.
“At one point, a fight broke out,” Hebeish said. “And officers immediately intervened by running into a large crowd, taking control of the situation, and arresting both suspects involved.
“I am incredibly proud of the efforts of our officers [Saturday],” Hebeish added. “I want to reiterate that the Long Beach Police Department will not tolerate criminal acts or violence in our community.”
