Texas Police Attack Children At Pool Party

...So cops can, unilaterally, decide where one should be?...
Police have no power over the whereabouts of average citizens engaged in lawful activities and not engaged in provocations of police or resisting detention or arrest, or when not on-site within the context of a blossoming crowd-control problem.

...How is his "orders to evacuate" lawful?
Do we not give police the authority to order people to evacuate a trouble-site?

If we do not, this will be the first time that I have been made aware of it.

As to specifics, I'm not a lawyer nor overly-well read in The Law, so I really couldn't say.

But most citizens perceive that the police have this power in extremis (detiorating situations, etc.) - to order bystanders to clear-off.

If I am wrong in this belief, feel free to lay your argument out there, for all to see.
 
...Are you saying that we should just comply and not resist unlawful detention?
Do you really and truly believe that your average 15 or 16 year old is competent at-law to make any such determination?
So they should just blindly trust that the cops are only after their best interests?
Pretty hard to accomplish that when they witness this kind of gestapo behavior
I'm sure that makes for a very pretty Emotional Appeal, but it has little basis in Reality nor The Law.
 
They had been called there by the community's security guard and some residents. It is a private community pool, only open to residents and their guests-
Residents and a private security officer called police to complain that several teenagers did not have permission to use the pool and had refused to leave, police said. The pool is part of the residential community.
Several people complained that the teenagers had started fighting. Three officers arrived and found a large, rowdy crowd. The department dispatched nine additional officers to respond to the incident, Conley said.







...Watching you guys try to support this cop is really entertaining. It's as if there's nothing a cop could do that you wouldn't blindly support...
Nonsense... you just can't adequately refute the counterarguments served up... and it frustrates you.

...You keep trying to change the topic to vague theoreticals - but we're not discussing whether the police have the right to respond with force to resisters, we're discussing the actions of this single police officer, in this particular situation...
Dealing with kids provoking the cops beyond endurance and refusing orders to either sit down or to evacuate the area, and mouthing-off to the cops.

When you resist detention or resist arrest you're asking for trouble.

They found it.

...Did you watch the video? The child that this officer threw to the ground was not being "detained" prior to being attacked - in fact, the officer had been demanding that she leave.
Yes.

The officer had been demanding that she leave. And she refused police orders to do so. Repeatedly.

After giving her several chances, the cop decided to bust her. And, wyhen she resisted that subsequent detention (based upon a refusal to obey police orders to evacuate), she got in deeper and deeper.

Entirely understandable actions by the cop, insofar as can be discerned.

Yep. Figured that was it.

If its a private pool...and they arent invited guests...and the owners want them to leave...they must leave. If they dont...they're trespassing. If they resist that lawful directive...well shit....they can be arrested.

Cops...just say fuck it and stop showing up.
 
And it keeps getting closer. Cops in America are on the verge of a full blown work stoppage. I personally cant wait. They'll protect areas that have supported them. The rest? Have fun in hell assholes haha!

That sounds about right from what I read.

Clearly the proper response to that then is to come in, draw guns on kids in bathing suits, detain Negrows and slam a teenage girl into the ground. Oh and the profanity, can't forget that -- the straw that stirs the drink.

What a great plan. What could possibly go wrong. That's the definition of "protect and serve" in Uhmurrika!

Why did Batman do a ground roll at the beginning of the video? It looks like the rest of the cops were being pretty cool, but Batman there had to jump into action. Protecting Gotham from half naked teenagers.

That's why the police acted appropriately. What should have happened is the residents descend en masse and bodily throw those teens out as trespassers.
 
It's not hard to figure out what happened.

Some kids who lived there decided to throw a pool party, and invited a bunch of their classmates. Those kids invited a bunch more kids, and so on.

No one was breaking the law by being there.
 
And it is actually a gated community. Seems some kids had jumped the fence.

"Brooks, the 15-year-old who shot the YouTube video, told BuzzFeed News many students had arrived at the end-of-school celebration at the pool on guest passes. Some had also jumped over the fence.

“I think a bunch of white parents were angry that a bunch of black kids who don’t live in the neighborhood were in the pool,” said Brooks, who is white.

Grace Stone, a white 14-year-old, told BuzzFeed News that when she and her friends objected to the racist comments about public housing an adult woman then became violent."
 
Actually, according to the residents and security guard, some kids had jumped the fence to this gated community at the pool. Guest passes are required, which some did not have and a fight ensued

It's not hard to figure out what happened. A bunch of black teens thought they could invade a gated community to use the pool. They thought that because they were black, no one would tell them to leave.

It's not a gated community.
