instigator or agitator or rioter and the police are doing nothing, i might feel i have a license. it is another thing for them to witness crimes and make no arrest which almost has the effect of encouraging it. they must know something we don t but it seems inexplicable to us. perhaps the same mentality that waited 24 hours before imposing the curfew. tell us about it leeland. the police have now moved up. you saw the two guys come up with their liquor bottles they have stolen. now the police are beginning their walk down. that is definitely tear gas popping off. and you can smell it an can you feel it. there is more looted liquor bottles flying here at the police. the police are making that slow march back down to where they were a couple of hours ago. where they were treated from.
know if they heard us talking or something else but they are beginning a slow walk here. you wonder what they would have done if she would have crashed through the police line. i was thinking the same thing. looks like there is a fire truck coming through. conceivably that might be to put out fires that are down here. this is the car that police cars that have been pelted with everything it has come back up. check out this view here. that is the police car that is pelted. it is unusual to think you could pelt a police car with bottles of liquor that you have looted that they watch had you loot then the police car turns around and drives back the other way. obviously does not inspire much confidence here if the residents. that certainly is the sediment we have heard from them. they just don t trust the police. and they are very clearly at least tonight noting to anything. leeland, as we continue to watch, our senior analyst, is with us but judge, if i m an
and used as accelerant. the liquor they he didn t drink they set on fire. i have to cut you off leeland right now. our crew, rick and his crew, are also on scene. my understanding have been attacked on scene but rick is on the line with us. you guys are okay? yeah wp we re all fine. we were at fulton street and north avenue. a a couple of cars were on fire. we got out to report on the scene and there were a lot of people on the street who were very upset just at our being there. and we got harassed by some people and some people started following us an yelling at us and people started throwing bottles at us from infront of their homes. large bottles crashing at our feet. and it got really hairy. and the police were in a line focused on north avenue and not on what was happening on fulton. so we managed to make our way
us to do our job. when you get to a place where you can report let us know. whenland leeland. this is in the area where rick is at as well. we moved back and the very same thing that happened to rick happened us to. we had protesters coming up us to yelling at us getting in our face screaming at us. and rick makes a good point. the folks who did what you are looking at and caused this destruction, have never really articulated to us what they are angry about. it helps to get a sense of the amount of destruction that happened here on this street corner. we will walk up a little bit and see how far we can get out. this is our tobacco mini mart. that was looted overnight. then the other two street corners, you have liquor stores a. with well and he then the remnants of the fire obviously is the stole yn cars that were crashed into each other and
one had a sling on his left arm. steve dorsey out of the hospital tonight. hope you re well. all commenting about the same thing now when our mics aren t turned on and that s good police officer friend of mine from fork city texted me and said i can t believe they are trained to go forward in a straight line like the red coats in the 1700s. it was a tactic which a lot of police officers are not that familiar. frankly, it is not what they are trained to do. not around here. they are clearly trying to make a way for these firefighters to get past the police line and to the fire. but on the other side of the fires, are more demonstrators. leeland, it is not like they ve gone anywhere have they. demonstrators certainly haven t. they have the upper hand here p.
