More than 500 teens in a flash mob confronted police outside the Lonnie Young Recreation Center in Germantown Sunday night.
Police say it all began a little bit after 6 p.m. When officers arrived, they found the large crowd on the sidewalk and in the street, as most were estimated to be between 12 and 17-years-old.
Officers said glass bottles were thrown at them. Publicly available videos on social media show the teens surrounding officers in their vehicles, hopping on top of cars and generally taunting police.
Police commanders made the decision not to make any arrests, as to not escalate the situation, and the crowd disbursed within in few hours.

[Police Captain] Techner has a message for those responsible for all the young people gathered in Germantown Sunday night.
"Parents need to be aware that when they're sending their juveniles out," Techner said. "I know it's nice to get the fresh air, and be out with their friends on a summer night. But parents have to be aware of what their kids are doing, who they are with, and what they're getting involved in. They need to be home at a decent hour."

Video at the source ... the comments also make for an interesting read.
Well, when the Women takes care of you, if leaves a lot of time to protest.
Packed tight together in a small area.
I’m thinking four claymores.
Mr. Gatling, please call your office.
The no arrest policy will only embolden the mob. They think the curbed future problems by going easy. Truth be told, they only made them worse.
The youts don’t be doin homework or be have to get up da nex day for a job cuz you and I be paying for dere smartphones and ebt cards.
Did they at least have the courage to use tear gas?
....”Officers said glass bottles were thrown at them.”
Dress up some COPS like civilians and OPEN-UP on them all!
FIRE-BACK! Give them what they WANT!
It’s time to start mowing the GRASS on these SOB’S!
It’s only going to get more difficult finding qualified people who want to become police officers.
Many incentives are being diluted or fully washed away.
Some officers may feel as outnumbered and defenseless as those patrolling our southern borders.
Wow!... "Parents"... Plural...of black teens
No consequences means you will get more bad behavior. How hard is that to understand or is that just SOP for Rat run cities?
Be nice to the youths and they will be nice in return.
Just like the Muslims.

Proving to the hooligans that they are really in charge.
Darn kids. Dancing on a basketball court. They deserve to die.

It’s Philadelphia. It’s been too late for generations to correct this dark problem.
Our normal US society has written off places like this.
Wow! Looks like they were led by another “gentle giant”.
Philadelphia has lots of KKKlowns. Who knew?
I am thinking:
Call out the National Guard
Notify the crowd that they have one hour to leave the area
Surround the area in concertina wire
Guard the wire with live ammo and bayonets
Allow one exit
Nothing in or out unless they surrender at that one exit
Full search of the person including wants and warrants
Process through the legal system
Those from out of state to be charged under federal felony rioting charges.
