I'm shocked, although I really shouldn't be, at the amount of racists in this message board. Sure it's DR, but I was expecting a larger number of sane people. Sad times.

Racist how?
The truth isn't racist.

I don't know if the Cops can tell you to leave an area or not. Where I live, unless you're doing something illegal you have the right to be on public property.

Wasn't public property, it was a subdivision, otherwise known as a gated community. And the pool was property of the gated community, for use by members of the community. I believe I read the pool has a locked gate, and a sign that states anyone using the pool who's not a member is trespassing.
And when the people of that community asked the kids to leave, at that point they are trespassing.

But ya, the cop seemed to be a little hot headed. But he really didn't do anything wrong, the girl he threw to the ground was resisting. And I'm sure from watching the video he could have thrown her on the ground much harder than he did. In fact it appeared he was trying to not hurt her, but she kept fighting back instead of just obeying.

Gated communities are essentially private, not public property. So, nobody who didn't live there had a right to be there.

So what you're saying is all those kids came there to hang out in the street.

That's your JOB, coward! That alone tells me you ain't fit for the gig.

Cop was really mad because the kids ran....So he blatantly TOLD THEM they got that treatment for making him run with 30 pounds of gear.

Oh yeah, the white kids just standing around filming checking on their black friends that are abused & running and scared for their lives.

Texas officers showed more respect to the "rowdy bikers" after a deadly shoot out than kids at a pool party.

You're a fool. The cops fired their weapons at the bikers. I believe a few of those dead bikers were killed by the police.

Ya those poor black kids were so scared they refused to leave the scary violent area. Yes, they were so frightened the decided their only choice was to taunt the officers. And run from the cops, then return to the area yelling at the cops and yelling at the other kids to disobey the cops. Then run again, only to return to yell some more.

Common courtesy aside, it's a point of law.

I wouldn't act like that, I wouldn't be an asshole like that on someone else's property, and I'm not condoning that behaviour.

Where are you getting this false information? Obstruction of a investigation has nothing to do with public or private property. Obstruction would be running when the cop asked you to sit down. Obstruction would be when the cop is talking to a kid about who was fighting and you yell at the kid to not tell the cop shit, and the run away, then come back and yell some more.

And again, they were trespassing on private property. All this it was public property is complete nonsense.

him pulling his gun wasnt an issue. he was in a crowd, he thought he saw a potential threat and he addressed it. in hindsight, different actions should have been taken but hindsight doesnt mean shit in a case like this, if you ask me. he responded fine in that regard.

the other issue is that the particular officer has had issues with his career in the past....he was sued for something that it's unclear that he did. the case against him was thrown out as the plaintiff in the case had an active case against him (because he was arrested by Casebolt) and was denied the right to file a claim until he could prove he was exonerated.

seems like this cop is by no means the worst there is....but he seems really fuckin unlucky.

You're are pretending like from this tiny clip from a cellphone you know everything that transpired. But you don't, you're missing tons of information. What if another person pointed her out as being involved in a fight, or destruction of property? Then the cop has every right to detain her.

Police do have a right to ask people to leave an area under certain circumstances. Especially if they are on private property, which they were.
