After School Special in Newark: Students Fight, Stealing Cop's Car
We heard there was a huge fight in Newark, with hundreds of teens involved and then a stolen police car that hit two people in the crowd. It now turns out that the situation was less crowded but still with a stolen police car.
According to the Star-Ledger, about 100 high school students had gathered to watch a fight at Park Avenue and North 5th Street. While it's unclear why the fight started, witness said "responding officers took two students into custody, but one managed to break away. Meanwhile, the other student got a hold of the keys to a marked police car, which he drove for about a half-block before ramming into two cars parked on the south side of the street." So the fight ended there.
The car hit two students, both of whom are being treated at the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

ahh...kids today
Guess they're emulating Sean Bell.
Get that car; ram those cops!
I'm blaming Grand Theft Auto for this one.
I wanted to do hoodrat stuff like my friends....
Send those kids to bootcamp and then to
Iraq as soldiers
#3 - Don't Blame GTA IV, Asshole! I will bash your head in!
"Newark's Finest"....the kids, I mean.
Newark, New Jersey ladies and gentlemen...
The worst city in the world.
Go to Camden, NJ and it's 10 times worse than Newark.
The cops should have just let those two kids beat the shit out of each other then once the fight was over drag them down to the station.
The 100 school kids are entertained, the cops have their coffee and donuts and the two kids sort out their issues. A win win situation for every one.
im from this school, i was there when all this was going on, i saw almost everthing, there were more than a 100 kids a lot more, some kids throwing rocks, bricks, and tiles. some kids had knives. it was crazy trust me its only getting worst.
