MASSIVE BRAWL Shuts Down St. Louis Galleria – Police Close Mall
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/11/2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/11/2014 5:48:46 PM PDT by RightGeek

[snip]

Police are turning people away. No one is allowed into the Galleria. KMOV reported:

Officers with the Richmond Heights Police Department responded to the St. Louis Galleria Monday evening. The Galleria has closed.

It’s unclear why they’re responding, other than a report of “multiple incidents” inside the mall. Brentwood Police also responded.

Several stores were evacuated shortly after 6:00.

Nordstrom and Macy’s have closed their gates and confirm a lockdown.

[From Twitter]: People rioting and looting in the Galleria mall in St. Louis. Just got out as police were charging in the entrances

[From Twitter]: looks like the #stlouis galleria #riot was planned on twitter, re tweeting.....

I’m not saying whether it’s sensible.

I’m just observing that if your job involves heading into a large unruly mob that’s looting, shooting, and torching ... you’ll probably want a tank.

A Tattoo shop there did the gun carry display thing. About 10 guys armed with AR15s. No break ins.

“And people wonder why town cops want tanks.”

Pity modern cops can’t be trusted with them

Cops don't need tanks or automatic weapons for any reason.

TV newsreader just called riots “civil protests”.

I’d rather cops unload a few clips on full auto than let rioters harm one innocent.

When zombies show up, you need the right gear!

They must be TERRIFIED that this will attach itself to Obama and the Dems.

They should be.

If Obola had a lot of kids...they'd look just like those rioters...AND, they'd be RATs.

Let's just hope you aren't a cop then. Police should not use indiscriminate fire. They are bad enough with semi-autos.

This is what 50 years of the Great Society has spawned on Society.

Perhaps Elijah Cummings will join in just so he can feel important again.

The Cop from NY that sued Al over the Tawana Brawley should call a Press Conference and call Al a Fraud and serial Liar.

These protestors are a lynch mob. They don’t want to wait for any investigation.

Have relatives that live north of the Arch, near Crown Candy Store.

The locals are watching for trouble, and will call the cops. Very few have guns, but there are a lot of weapons ...

I also imagine the Hill is safe. My SIL laughed when I asked if she thought the ferals would make it to the Italian side of town.

“They may go in but they won't come out”.
