After reading that article, I have to wonder, WHY? As a former police officer & military veteran the description of events sounds like a gang attack. This young lady had no idea who these people were or their intentions. One troubling part of this entire situation, how would they know if she was underage? Were they running plate numbers in the parking lot? No, this sounds way above common sense, this almost appears like a shakedown!
When one cannot tell the difference between the police and a common criminal, the former have become the latter.
