100 People Attack Police Cruisers As Street Takeover Spirals Out Of Control
 
A crowd of over 100 people attacked Boston police cruisers during a street takeover.

One police cruiser caught fire as fireworks and poles rained down on officers.

Two Rhode Island men were arrested as officials vowed tougher laws and crackdowns.

Street takeovers are notoriously dumb events that often teeter between spectacle and disaster. Crowds block intersections, cars spin in smoke, and sometimes the chaos turns genuinely dangerous. Spectators and drivers alike can end up in collisions or worse. What’s a weird sight, though, is for a takeover to end up with a police car set ablaze.
 
That’s exactly what unfolded just a few nights ago in Boston. Police are still piecing together what they describe as a “violent crowd” that turned on officers, hurling poles and fireworks in the mayhem.

A Sudden Escalation

According to officials, the incident started around 2 a.m. on Sunday at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Tremont Street. When police officers arrived, there was a large sideshow blocking traffic, and dozens of cars were intermixed with spectators. Things went from bad to worse quickly.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

And there aren't even National Guard there - yet, so that's an excuse the MSM doesn't have to justify the violence.

Time for the cops to start bringing a handheld emp generator capable of knocking out electronic ignition systems.  Shut em down permanently and then bring in the tow trucks to haul the junk away.
