150 spring breakers arrested amid party chaos in Miami Beach

Quote:
About 150 people were arrested in Miami Beach over the weekend as throngs of unruly spring breakers descended on the city.

Friday marked the wildest day in the party hot spot as about 120 people were arrested and two police officers were injured during clashes with the revelers, Local 10 News reported.

The officers who were injured had been attempting to make an arrest when they were attacked, authorities said.

“The crowd ended up turning on those officers who were there,” Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez said, according to the report.

The gatherings on Friday led police in some areas to deploy pepper balls to disperse the crowds.

On Saturday, 30 more people were arrested.


If we are going to call it a riot when BLM supporters do it we should call it a riot when “mostly peaceful” white college students do it.

Double standard. When BLM people do it the media they are called “rioters” not an “unruly”

An alcohol-fueled melee!

I wonder how many of them wore masks, and practiced social distancing?

I'm glad you've noticed this double standard. For some reason some people's disorderly conduct is downplayed meanwhile other people's is grossly exaggerated.
