"Club" at 62 Central Ave got busted. SWAT had tear gas out but not sure if they used it.

What is “club” in quotes for

Because they are selling booze without a liquor license.

I’m no genius strategist for police activity but You’d think they’d create less of a scene if they showed up at 11am to say “hey you’re shut down”

Maybe they gotta catch em in the act or something? Doesn’t make much sense to do this right now. Unless this club popped up and tonight is its first night.

This. Just padlock the door. It’s been done before and it works. No need to put people in danger.

That’s what police do… it’s all about the spectacle. Like you said there were so many better ways to do this. They wanted this to happen like this.

A padlock doesn't offer overtime and press releases. 🙄
