Arrests mean nothing without prosecution.

[mrbadysmith]

If you defund the police, this kind of activity will happen much more often.

[oneineverysix.]

It won't stop this is just the beginning

[atadventures]

Only a hundred? From the videos I saw, looked like thousands should be arrested

Funny how all of a sudden now that the majority of her city made it known, that they're tired of this behavior and her, that she finally calls it what it is. She created the environment for these types of behavior and she'll reap what she sowed.

Looters "this is reparations" Go ahead & loot & when a store owner decides to shoot you for it, that's called "repercussions"

Great job Beetle Juice! That Mayor is straight up incompetent. Trying to act like she isn't at the very least partly responsible for this.

[javiervelasquez]

Maybe the mayor should stop worrying about Trump and actually do something for her city?

[sartiwitt]

Only 100? Pay the cops a bonus for looter arrest lots

[teem]

12 hr shifts, days off??? But I thought you wanted to defund !

[sharellmaureen]

We blacks should be ashamed of ourselves. What is all this?

[judemelroses]

Woah! People actually got arrested.
All of a sudden.

She’s not talking about the 100 people that were shot and killed last week in Chicago for a reason. Releasing the idiots didn’t work out the way they thought it would, and now it’s backfiring.

[Sylonth]

You see this nonsense and it just emphasizes just how dumb and stupid the concept of defunding the police is.

Liquid soap on shop floors and walks outside will make looting a more slippery & challenging affair. A sprinkler system's activation could possibly produce similar effect. Soap the floor first :|

[paulnikola]

The justification is that you, the mayor allowed this behavior to grow and manifest. You should be arrested for dereliction of duties. You have a city out of control with innocent children killed by gang membership which you fail to address. Yet now your passed off because of the looting and destruction which has spilled over into your high-end neighborhood shopping district.
I think you should as to be put i to the witness protection program and run and hide.

[DonDutch-bmiq]

100 released, because the law is racist..

[Roxyct]

I am sure Hollywood stars will be bailing them out soon so they can be released to do it again.

[Mysasser]

Just think of all the people who were barely holding it together and now they don't have a job. They took out an entire job market.

Still couldn't find those majik Ruby red Dorthy slippers at Best Buy.
