Teens? The one who threw his hat off looked to be 25, and he approached the cop from behind in a threatening manner. Notice his hasty retreat once the cop pulled his gun?

Boy what a difference a few hours makes. Last night I endured the freeper outrage because I postulated that maybe the “yutes” were just a tad dangerous and that’s why the cop pulled his gun. Glad to see the Kool aid has worn off. LOL!
Exactly. All the officers on the scene were acting professionally and working to de-escalate the situation. They were talking to people, instructing them to disperse, etc. It was just the one officer, who literally rolled onto the scene (what the heck was that about anyway?), and started running around, chasing people, and generally re-escalating the situation. Totally unprofessional.
“Yeah, good cops slam 14 year old girls to the ground and pull their firearm on unarmed teenagers all the time. Sounds more like a panicky incompetent cop who will get his partner or someone else killed before all is said and done. “
From what I saw on the full video, the one cop who pulled the gun was the only one that didn’t effectively try to control the situation.
According to residents, it was an HOA owned (private) pool and a DJ showed up tweeting out invites to lots of mostly black people.
Lots of teens who are not residents, didn’t pay to enter nor had guest passes showed up.
Kids started smoking weed, fighting, threatening residents using the pool, wouldn’t disperse when the first officer who showed up asked them to, then many started running through the neighborhood when more cops showed up, trespassing into private pools in back yards and harassing locals.
When you have gangs of teens showing up at a private facility for a party and misbehaving, driving out residents who PAID for the HOA pool and then creating a disturbance for the whole neighborhood, police SHOULD be involved.
But all the videos show white cop taking down a black girl, not the rest of the story.
I’m OUTRAGED that someone seems to have informed Black People of all ages that they have no obligation respect their neighbors or public servants. That’s how people get killed.
All major media reports leave out the fact that the cop pulled his weapon AFTER a troop of “teens” swarmed and surrounded him. They were reaching in their waist bands and jumping around him on attack mode.
How do you know and what does that have to do with it?
The mainstream media has been at war with this nation and its *legal* citizens for a long time.
Maybe there IS a Neighborhood Watch in their neighborhood. I don't know. If there is...where were/are they?
As for the "...and what does that have to do with it?"...I'll replay what I quoted previously.
“The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend.”
While we might've been caught off guard with the initial incident, my Neighborhood Watch would've been prescient and cautious enough to expect follow-up trouble. And, we would've been prepared to handle it.
Ferguson and Baltimore were more than people misbehaving. They were lessons to those of us that disapprove of those activities...and don't aim to let that take place in our neighborhoods.
I'm betting you feel the same way?
One bad police officer can undo the hard work of a dozen others and can single-handedly send the situation out of control. As almost happened here.

That’s what happened here. FNC just had Mark Furhman on. He’s an ex-cop and he was very concerned about two things:
1.That the cop “waded in” without any help and was running around somewhat amped up.
2. He pulled his weapon on a group of people in an upscale neighborhood where there is no violent crime and that should not have happened.
Personally, from what I saw, I seriously question this officer’s fitness to remain a police officer.
