Footage of Mob Ransacking California Gas Station Sparks Outrage (msn.com)
A viral video of a gas station in California being ransacked has sparked outrage at the looters, governor and the police response.The footage showed over 100 people attempting to break in an Arco gas station in Compton, California, early Sunday morning.Eventually, the group of people broke through the glass doors and flooded into the store to steal from and damage the establishment while staff hid in the bathroom.
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Compton said thousands of dollars worth of goods were stolen.
He also addressed the police's difficulty in dealing with the situation. Authorities said they had been responding to various incidents through the night and are currently limited with their staffed personnel. They added they "couldn't intervene with the giant takeover groups for safety concerns" as they were "outnumbered."Meza LASD said: "Our number one problem is not having the personnel, the units to respond to street takeovers."If we have those personnel respond to just street takeovers there's no one else left."Social media users have raged at the police's lack of response and California Governor Gavin Newsome for the incident while also condemning those looting in the footage.
