Scanners: 52nd and spruce to locust with cops
#admin Reminder there are so many cops in west, that other neighborhoods are short on staff. So they have almost all their officers at the businesses and anything else is pretty much unable to be watched away from the central business districts of each neighborhood. 7th district had only 10 officers left earlier. They cant respond to non priority calls. They are using dummy vehicles and sirens in the north east to deter theft. Roosevelt mall is staged for looters. #forward

OTG large police presence persists at 52/Spruce-Larchwood. They are slowly clearing 52nd crossstreets and restoring traffic. Officers are standing by. Doubt it will escalate again here.
