What would you do if the police showed up at your house party?
Partygoers in St. Louis decided the best reaction would be to swarm one of the police cars, twerking and dancing on the cruiser while snapping some ever-important selfies.
The unapologetically American scene unfolded after officers responded to more than a dozen complaints about a rooftop party during the early hours of Sunday morning. After the crowd of more than 100 was peacefully dispersed, a number of unsatisfied attendees gathered outside the apartment building before mobbing the police vehicle. An officer filmed the uncontrolled scene from inside the car as the partiers jumped on the roof and windscreen in a shameless act of defiance.
The event led to a city-wide ‘Officer in need of aid’ call after someone managed to open the passenger-side door. Thankfully, no one was injured in the chaos, however, the car was badly damaged. Police have asked the public to help identify those in the video. The mayor of St. Louis criticized the attack in a tweet, writing, ‘I’m disappointed in those people who will now have to face consequences for their behavior.’
