1421 on Northwest. 1421. 21, myself and 32 are responding down here for this Ontario job. Are the other officers down there pushing this crowd up to 2000 block of Ontario? Because they've got a boatload of kids coming right at us here. Are we all pushing the crowd up? Most of the kids are walking westbound Ontario. We're trying to disperse them in separate directions, not as a group. 1421, I received it. There's probably about at least 100 kids walking up here.
