Wild video shows masked ruffians blatantly attacking a police cruiser while an officer was inside during a chaotic street takeover in Maryland.
Video and witness accounts show drivers swarming the intersection of East West Highway and Connecticut Avenue shortly after midnight Feb. 22 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, blocking traffic in all directions and performing high-speed “donuts” as onlookers stood in the roadway.
Montgomery County police said it started around 12:39 a.m., when a large caravan of vehicles tied to takeover activity was spotted heading toward the Silver Spring central business district.
Officers moved to monitor the group and closed several intersections to limit access and protect the public.

Personally sick of these monkeys. Wish we could deport them but they're probably citizens.

I’m not going to refer to the perps as monkeys. It may not be intended, but it sounds racial to me. This sort of behavior poses safety risks for the perps as well as the public and police. How much support will the police get from the Maryland government? Or will the perps, if caught, face penalties?
When I was a kid, I was penalized for bad behavior to ensure I wouldn’t repeat it. Of course, that didn’t always work. The next time resulted in higher penalties! I got spanked more!

This has happened in Baltimore several times. Also gangs of teenagers and those in their twenties riding down the street on dirt bikes causing havoc. And yes, it's who you think they are. After all, it's Black History Month.

Solutions so simple, even cavemen could do them, for example:
Drive forward slowly while rolling down the window and mag-dump your side arm, rolling up the window to swap out magazines. Repeat, rinse, etc...

Bullets coming out of the car towards them should have been the response.

Not Baltimore or Prince George's County but Montgomery County, one of the richest counties in the United States. Wesley Moore's Maryland is as big a disaster as Tim Walz's Minnesota or Gavin Newsom's California.

I didn't see anything in the article about arrests or the reason for the street takeover. The DNC is the party of anarchy and they foment riots and violence by their rhetoric. The brainwashing of the radical Left should be put forth as a reason not to vote DNC in the midterms.

Montgomery County Police and Maryland State Police were there yet they couldn't manage to arrest anyone? They blocked the roads for "safety" while the hoodlums did their street racing and vandalism. The police from both agencies stood by and watched while the mob harassed and vandalized police cars (with police in them). They were useless. What good is law enforcement if they do not enforce the laws.

When will these police officers start shooting back. That’s assault. They have every right to defend themselves.

Maybe it does sound racial #2 but there is one race that is causing these problems.

What race is a monkey? What race is a street over-taker? Monkeys are usually small, tailed primates. Adept at climbing and sometimes with prehensile tails. Apes are large, tailless primates that are sometimes tool users and have more advanced social structures. Chimpanzees are the most human-like of the apes. These violent people were acting more like chimpanzees, an ape. They were going "ape-shirt". Oops, mis-spelled that.

East-west highway crosses Connecticut Ave. in Chevy Chase (not Gaithersburg). - it is surprising such an incident happened there.

These mobs are comprised of the Left's useful idiots. They do not realize that the ultimate goal of these confrontations is to get one of the cops to shoot and kill one of them, so the Left can scream bloody murder.

Born, raised and had a beautiful home in Maryland years ago. NOW, Maryland is nothing more than a cesspool and I would not return.
