#THREAD LCRW is LIVE at the MF HOME DEPOT in Emeryville tonight!

Just heard a flash bang go off. Walking towards the noise to report now

It’s beautiful here at dusk at the uh....home depot

Guys I found the bricks George Soros sent us lololololololol

Police helicopter circling, see about six squad cars in the distance

Cops are outnumbered trying to chase about a hundred people around

People breaking into like every store. Just saw an ambulance speed by

How many cops does emeryville have? They’re mostly just sitting around here

Ooookay THIS thing just showed up

Ooooookay here we go

There’s a fire in the dumpster behind the Best Buy

Cops don’t have their training together here. Sergeant was shouting directions at them

Altercation

Someone’s getting arrested. “Four dudes for one girl tho!” Someone says

She was trying to get in her car and go. The car was in the lot they’re blocking off

Cars are coming and going, jamming up intersections in front of all of this every few minutes

Someone just sped up to the police line and shouted “THANK YOU”

Two more vans in the lot behind me. And then this

So one of them is just swinging an AR

Hello little pinto

Someone told me there’s kettling st the mall. Apparently middle schoolers are posting it all over Instagram

Not much going on. Hanging out with some probably teenagers on skateboards watching cops

There’s like thirty people here watching cops and Emeryville PD is sending more cops this way. There’s already a hundred

Anyways the fire behind the Best Buy is out

Heard a flash bang a couple box stores away. Still in the same place

Emeryville PD can’t direct traffic for shit. They JUST realized they need to fully block off this road if they don’t want people turning there.

Not much going on. Will move to a different location soon I think

Bearcat and a bunch of the other vehicles are moving

Cops out here renting minivans

They’re moving to the Decathlon now. People looting it left in a hurry

Here the come

They’re trying to do a mass arrest. I don’t think there’s anyone in the store

They spent so much time protecting the Best Buy that as soon as everyone saw them move they left the Decathalon

Guess they’re getting ready to come out

Sound on for the commentary lol the cops are empty handed

Two helicopters and one airplane
One helicopter circling emeryville around the maze, which is the closest one to me according to a friend tracking em. Another one downtown

That’s a CHP aircraft tracking shit

The cops literally just left the place with the door open

Omg how many were in there

Someone just straight up donated $50 to LCRW tonight THANK YOU!!

They’re out

Looting may resume I guess?
I smell a skunk lol

Found some ordinance from earlier

Brb international waters

LCRW readers, it is my duty to inform you that here in Emeryville,

GAMERS ROSE UP

There was a huge kettle here earlier.

A woman’s voice on the loudspeaker says I’m being recorded. Then she says “thanks for shopping.”

Here’s the inside of the store

Here’s the office. No I didn’t take anything obviously

Fremont police scanner’s apparently focused on Emeryville tonight
