There would be some serious physical altercations happening if that was here.

Even if it was an apartment complex, if the crashes don't live there and weren't invited, they are trespassing.

From what I understand it was a private pool for that neighborhood. Meaning everyone who lived in that neighbor could use it and bring a couple guest usually. But what happen here was a bunch of people who don't live there tried using it and jumping the fence to get in.

In which case now becomes trust passing.

Those damn trust passers....

I see nothing wrong in the cops actions. They were arguing and refusing to leave, so then the cop tries arresting the girl and she starts resisting. So like he was trained to do, he threw her to the ground in an attempted to cuff her.

The only thing he did wrong was pull his gun, it should have been a tazer as a warning to the other kids to back off. But because they were black, he's in trouble for doing his job...wow.

the problem isnt how the police acted as a group...it was the actions of the one officer. there was really no reason to pull a fuckin firearm in that situation....but, in his defense, in the heat of the moment, that many potential assailants could become a real threat.....could. not likely considering he was there with backup and they were adolescents. that being said, i dont think he did anything criminally wrong nor do i think he should lose his job over this. a slap on the wrist, i feel, would be fine.

im not sure why people think that it's ok for a cop to beat the shit out of a person or pull a fuckin gun on them simply because the person isnt following orders.

In the cops defense, it kinda did look like the guy in the teal hat was pulling something out of the back of his pants when he threw the girl down, but he was just pulling his pants up. Maybe that's why he pulled the gun?

In a situation of numbers, I have to side with the cop. Being in a crowd of idiots bouncing in all directions can be a bit unnerving as it is. The Gun gave him the upper hand against the odds.

They were on the street. The gun incident happened on the street.
If they'd trespassed previously that's a different issue. Once you're on a public street you're no longer trespassing.
If I'm walking down the street doing nothing illegal, and a Cop tells me to go home, I'm going to tell that Cop to fuck off.

Now, if this was some kind of gated community or whatnot I have no idea what or who's authority that would fall under.

Does a Cop legally have the right to tell you to go home?

Exactly, its use of force protocols.

That's why they teach defensive tactics, and have pepper spray, batons, and a taser.

That is like saying that once the robber is out of the bank he is no longer a bank robber.

Crime committed don't get excused just because you stopped committing it.

If someone called in a complaint, it's the cop's duty to detain the suspect until a formal charge is filed, or an investigation reveals enough to release them. In this case, there was an resistant to that duty being preform.

He detained her because she refused to go home. It was never stated that she was being detained for suspicion of breaking a law was it? If she was indeed a suspect in a crime, would telling her to 'go home" be the appropriate thing to do?

If the bank robber walks out on the street, you apprehend him.
Does that also give you the right to tell anybody else in the vicinity to "go home"?

Does the refusal to leave a public area make you a suspect? Is refusal to leave a public area a crime?
