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."

They closed comments after just two hours, probably due to the tone of the comments.
Those youts need to lose some teef.
Machine guns and mustard gas.
“Parents need to be aware...”
What’s a “parent”?
Very true about recruiting police. What are the laws about curfews in said AO? What about children and teens out with NO adult supervision after dark, if that is fact? Plus how in the hell does a 500 person thug party just happen? This was clearly planned. Any group of 500 must have some kind of permit IMHO? I say-no welfare payments of any kind to any parent or parents, if any kid counted for said program is out creating a disturbance/destruction of police vehicles, etc. No more cash/bennies from us without obeying our laws.
1000 rds of 5.56 make a nice neat package that hardly takes up any room at all in your trunk ... even if loaded in mags.
And for throwing bottles at police.
No ,Cops should Shoot FIRST !!!!
Plus a nice cover of Pepper Spray for good luck.
And spray with color,That don’t wash for a week or 2..
War is coming. This is its face. Anyone still in denial is in for a very rude awakening.
Can’t the cops toss them a couple of bags of free basketballs so they can do something useful like play Midnight Basketball to work off some of that youtful steam?

...Thereby guaranteeing carnage in the future...
A .50 cal on full auto would work, too.
