Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party
Police should not be allowed to harm anyone when they have "no idea" what's going on. They have an obligation to thoroughly determine the nature of a situation before taking action against anyone.
What we need to do is stop making excuses for police, and instead hold them to a standard befitting their role and responsibility.
"Being aggressive and threatening" is not against the law. Police have no business attacking or detaining anyone without evidence of an actual crime.
Yeah, we don't serve their kind here!
The cop has no idea what those kids were doing or what their intention was. Completely justified as I've heard many use of force experts indicate.
Probably best not to aggressively approach a cop in the middle of a tense situation that is just barely under control and required more cops being called to be placed under control.

Cop was justified, IMO. Kids were being aggressive and threatening.

The kids didn't belong there and should have stayed in their own part of town. McKinney is an affluent suburb and I'm sure the locals didn't want a bunch of fighting, rowdy teens who clearly aren't from there causing a ruckus
