According to the maker of this video, police were called to a Texas neighborhood when it was reported that too many black teenagers were at a pool party. What happened next is unbelievable.

While watching this video I was speechless. I felt enraged, angry, sad, hurt, and helpless. This one police officer agitated the entire situation, threw a young teenage girl to the ground and handcuffed all the black males he could get his hands on. I shudder to think how some of the fathers I know would’ve reacted if this was their daughter.
There is no trust between the black community and law enforcement – that is the fault of the police and is a result of decades of abuse like this. This officer should be fired for his actions, instead he has been put on paid leave for his actions.
If you were wondering who started the problem…..
Teens at the pool party told BuzzFeed News the police were called after a fight broke out between adults and youths at the pool after the adults made racist comments telling the black children to leave the area and return to “Section 8 [public] housing.”
Here is the white 15-year-old kid who shot the video version of events. Pay attention to what he and other white kids are saying, they have zero reason to lie.
“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.
“Everyone who was getting put on the ground was black, Mexican, Arabic,” he said. “[The cop] didn’t even look at me. It was kind of like I was invisible.”
Look at how the white people didn’t want the cop to be filmed assaulting a black teen.
