A chaotic scene inside a Baltimore Target has exploded across social media, showing police officers wrestling with three young girls accused of vandalizing the store, with one reportedly cursing out cops and lunging at the woman filming.
The disturbing clip captures the ugly aftermath of the alleged rampage. Baltimore Police officers are seen trying to detain the minors amid the store’s bright aisles and red shopping carts.
One girl in a black shirt and denim shorts sits on the shiny floor, screaming and thrashing as an officer holds her arm aloft with handcuffs in hand. Another girl in a white shirt, pink shorts, and a colorful headwrap stands nearby as officers work to gain control. Bystanders mill about in the background while the situation unfolds.
Baltimore has long battled waves of juvenile crime and retail theft, but scenes like this, defiant kids turning a routine arrest into a public spectacle, have left many fed up.
Police have not yet released official details on ages, names or exact charges, but the video makes the resistance and lack of remorse crystal clear.
