police on patrol nearby may have stopped thieves from entering. >> there is no doubt in my mind that this was not unplanned. they were hoping we wouldn't be here, but we were. cornell: this video now going viral on social media showing police officers bashing the windows of a mustang and pulling a possible suspect out of the car. chief scott defending his officers' actions. >> the officers who made the arrest on that mustang were confronting an armed individual. they took him into custody safely. the lifestyle around here is not good for families. >> we cannot tolerate this kind of conduct at all in this city, not at all. cornell: the union square

alliance says the crimes are unacceptable, especially less than a week before black friday and the traditional start of the holiday season. >> it is important we recognize that this impacts all of us and the last thing we want is for people not to file for can enjoy their city. cornell: officials say more police will be added around the square, providing more security for visitors with new traffic control measures added to limit cars in the area. >> but there will be traffic delays because we can continue -- we can't continue to allow people to freely flow in and out of the city, commit these crimes and get away with it. liz: our coverage continues with tim johns who spoke with san francisco different attorney -- spoke with the san francisco district attorney. tim: after a series of smash and grab robberies resulted in over $1 million worth of items being stolen from stores in union square friday night, city

if stores shut down, we lose sales tax. tim: that could potentially have a major impact on the city and hit not just businesses but also everyday residents. while critics say he is soft on crimes like shoplifting, he says in order to see real change, the incentive has to be removed. >> we need to go to the root of the problem and take apart the fencing operations that make it profitable, and we need to make sure we are not limiting ourselves. liz: in the east a large police presence in walnut creek last night, where police say 80 looters targeted nordstrom. a typically busy broadway plaza made a big -- became a big crime scene. a manager at a nearby restaurant says stunned customers watched last night as the thieves grabbed merchandise, loaded it in to waiting cars and then drove off. >> we saw 50 to 80 people in ski
