| Groups of individuals were seen milling around a number of businesses, many bringing vehicles to cart away the loot, including one person who showed up with a U-Haul rental moving truck. | |
| Some were also filmed leaving the area around a liquor store as they carried armfuls of merchandise. | |
| Another small crowd was seen breaking into a Foot Locker, which also fell victim to looters on Monday night. | |
| Others apparently attempted to gain entry into a Target as well, with footage showing a heavy police presence around the store, whose boarded-up doors and windows appear to have been damaged in a break-in. | |
| Elsewhere in the city, demonstrators confronted police clad in riot gear following a brief protest march, facing down officers while shouting slogans against law enforcement. RT’s video agency Ruptly was on the scene to document the standoff. | |
