YOUR
YOUR EYES. AND NOTHING IS REALLY BEING
DONE ABOUT IT.
SO PEOPLE WANT THINGS DONE THEY
WANT PROSECUTORS WHO HAVE THE
GUTS TO PROSECUTE OFFICERS WHO
ARE BAD.
ARE BAD.
ARE BAD. WE UNDERSTAND, OFFICERS HAVE A
TOUGH JOB, WE THANK GOD FOR
OFFICERS, AND WE WANT THEM TO
PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES.
HOWEVER, THE BAD ONES, THEY ARE
BAD.
BAD.
BAD. >>
BAD. >> I
BAD. >> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT,
BENJAMIN, THAT ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN YOU ARE
LOOKING AT LIVE OF SCOTTSDALE
WHERE THEY HAVE BROKEN THROUGH
THE FRONT DOORS OF SCOTT DALE
FASHION SQUARE, WHICH ACTUALLY
CLOSED EARLY TONIGHT AND YOU
SEE PEOPLE COMING OUT WITH
HANDFULS OF MERCHANDISE.
AND THEY ACTUALLY CLOSED THE
MALL EARLY TONIGHT, FOR FEAR
THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. BENJAMIN, HOLD ON FOR JUST A
SECOND, WE WANT TO GO TO TEEN
12'S RACHEL COLE, RACHEL?
>> Reporter: HEY MARK, AS YOU
HAVE SEEN SKY 12 IS OVERHEAD
AND THE POLICE PRESENCE IS
GROWING HERE IN SCOTTSDALE.
RIGHT NEAR SCOTTSDALE FASHION
MALL.
MALL.
MALL. THE
MALL. THE FUNNY THING IS, WHEN YOU'RE
DRIVING AROUND IN THE OLD TOWN
AREA, PEOPLE ARE AT BARS,
RESTAURANTS, IT IS UNBEKNOWNST
TO THEM ACTUALLY WHAT IS
HAPPENING OVER HERE, SO THIS IS
A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PROTEST, IF
YOU WILL, THAT WHAT WE SAW LAST
NIGHT.
NIGHT.
NIGHT. AND WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN
DISCUSSING REGARDING THE
DOWNTOWN PHOENIX PROTESTERS.
BUT WE ARE SEEING OUT HERE IN
SCOTTSDALE, IS A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT STORY, WINDOWS
SMASHED, EVERYWHERE FROM THE
APPLE STORE TO THE PF CHANG'S,
TO THE PIANO STAR THAT IS
NECK'S TO SPRINKLES CUPCAKES,
ALL OF THESE ARE POPULAR AND IF
YOU'RE IN THE AREA OR A
VISITOR, YOU KNOW SCOTTSDALE.
AND KNOW THAT WE JUST REALLY
HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS
IN ARIZONA IN RECENT YEARS, OR
IN EVER, AND MY COWORKER AND I
ARE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHERE WE
CAN GET SET UP TO GET YOU GUYS
VIDEO, WE ARE DEALING WITH A
TOTALLY DIFFERENT CROWD AND WE
HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY MANAGEMENT
TO STAY IN A SAFE PLACE AND TRY
TO TELL THE STORY, TO BRING THE
NEWS TO THE VIEWERS BUT DO IT
AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.
AND WE HAVE JUST SEEN CROWDS OF
PEOPLE CHANTING AND YELLING AND
OF COURSE THERE ARE EXPLETIVES
FOR THE POLICE, BUT AGAIN THAT
PRESENCE IS GROWING JUST A BIT.
YOU HAVE CLOSED OFF MULTIPLE
STREETS SO IT IS HARD TO GET
EVEN CLOSE TO THE MALL AT THIS
POINT.
POINT.
POINT. AS
POINT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SIDE
VIDEO THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
TO THIS PART OF ARIZONA, AND IT
IS VERY SAD TO SEE.
I GREW UP IN THIS AREA AND WENT
TO SCHOOL IN SCOTTSDALE, AND IT
IS VERY HEARTBREAKING TO SEE
THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF WHAT
SHOULD BE A PEACEFUL PROTEST.
AND IF THEY HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY, TO PROTEST
PEACEFULLY, BUT THEY HAVE JUST
NOT DONE THAT.
>> SPEAKING OF PEACEFUL PROTEST
HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO ANYONE WHO
SAID THEY WERE THERE TO DO
THAT?
THAT?
THAT? BECAUSE IT DID APPEAR TO US,
THAT IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THEY
WERE THERE TO LOOT.
THEIR YEAH, TO BE HONEST
KARINA, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER
THAN WORDS IN THIS CASE.
AND I AM STARING AT THE
MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP THAT
IS OVER HERE IN THE CORNER OF
SCOTTSDALE ROAD NEAR CAMELBACK,
THE WINDOWS WERE SMASHED OUT ON
THEIR PEOPLE GOING INTO THE
BUILDING, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY
ARE TAKING ANYTHING AT THIS
POINT THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO
GET PHOTOS, OF COURSE, OF THE
DESTRUCTION.
DESTRUCTION. SOME MAY VERY WELL BE POSING AS
SOCIAL MEDIA AND TRYING, THEY
ARE OUT THERE WITH GRIEVANCES,
BUT AT THIS POINT, THE ACTIONS
SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS SO IF
WE GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO
PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE
PEACEFUL PROTESTERS AND WHAT
THEIR INTENT WAS NOT HERE
TONIGHT, WE WILL BE SURE TO
RELAY THAT MESSAGE, WHATEVER IT
MAY BE.
MAY BE.
MAY BE. THE
THE
THE >>
THE >> JUST FROM OUR ADVANTAGE
POINT HERE, WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE
COME OUT WITH ARMFULS OF
MERCHANDISE, AND JUST THE
BROKEN GLASS ALONE.
I'M SURE THAT TOMORROW, WHEN
THE DUST HAS SETTLED WE WILL
GET A BETTER LOOK AT THE DAMAGE
AT THE WATERFRONT SIDE
