Hopefully, to be planted on Jussie Smollett.

I feel indifferent to this, if you read the article, the 'shock' to the police was that the gang of people on the street had 'zero' fear of them, and no hesitation of taking what they considered theirs.

I actually don't know that anyone on the street described as they were in the article is even true. It could be that people feel fed up with corrupt police, and are in an area where the presence seems like it only belongs in an alien abduction movie.

I don't think there are any fast fixes for this, the people there know they don't have to comply, and the police aren't going to fix anything with violence.... Long road to something I guess.
