This was on Law and Order SVU last night. They were holding an 18 yr old accused of rape. He raped a girl in a department store during a flash mob robbery. So anyway, this angry mob shows up at the NYC precinct and gets by the Sgt. at the front desk, there's about 12 of them. They were destroying papers, laptops, throwing chairs through windows etc etc. total anarchy! One female officer draws her weapon and tells one of them to stop and get down! Sgt. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) yells "Put the gun away" No one is to draw your guns, these are teenagers"!
They supposedly arrested 8 of the 12 that broke in but they never showed you how they caught them.
I know this a TV show but do you think this could ever happen in real life? Would the cops shoot?
