Last night, 6/1/2020, Bloomington PD deployed teams of officers in response to the potential looting across the city. At approximately 10:00 p.m., a large crowd gathered at the Eastland Mall (1615 E. Empire St) following a post on social media directing people to engage in a “Parking Lot Party“. Approximately 200 people attended at the gathering initially but many of them left the area after an unknown subject broke out a store window at the mall.
At approximately 11:30 p.m., a group of approximately 100 people returned to the mall in a caravan of vehicles – stopping near the Kohls department store. Shortly after they arrived, one male broke off from the group and damaged a squad car’s windshield with others throwing rocks and other projectiles at officers. As this was taking place several subjects broke the glass on the front of the Kohl’s store, entered and began looting the store. Officers successfully utilized a non-lethal chemical gas to disperse the crowd while also making arrests of looters.
