Vigil for 16-year-old killed by cops turns to riot in East Flatbush

Police are requesting assistance from the public in finding the individuals involved in the riot, some of whom police say beat up a person with their fists and a bottle, and then stole the person’s cell phone. In this video, teenagers can be seen flooding a RiteAid, then knocking things over on their way out. About midway through the video, some teenagers can be seen assaulting an older person, ostensibly the store manager who complained of being attacked.
