South Euclid Police Prevent a Flash Mob

A few weeks ago I posted about the recent “flash-mob” at the Coventry Street Fair. Cleveland Heights police were caught unaware as the mob of youthful thugs formed and ruined the last hour of the event.

What a contrast in South Euclid, where our police department proactively shut down a “flash-mob” before it could form in Bexley Park. Part of that was by monitoring social media like Facebook and Twitter. The youth behind the mob event, Malik Wallington, wound up moving it to Cleveland.

Here’s a link to the Cleveland Heights Patch article on the averted Bexley incident. Take note of the anti-South Euclid Police comments, no doubt from hippy-dippy Heightsters.

The South Euclid police department has come under a lot of criticism from the anti-traffic camera crowd, from South Euclid Oversight, and opposition candidates like Michael Fortner. But I’d like to take this moment to congratulate them on a job well done. None of the above mentioned entities have praised their efforts here – but you can bet your bottom tax dollar they would have been the first on the bandwagon if a disruptive event had taken place.
