The LAPD arrived "for mopping-up operations" and beat and maced fifteen and arrested seven. They are then maced by Emmett, who is then incapacitated by Casey. In response, the guard maced Ellis. As Star lay critically wounded and bleeding, a second officer maced her. They then maced several black teenagers in the parking lot of a Dairy Queen.
