Care to verify where you got the info that everyone there was unarmed? Do you have a source?
Let's say you're not a cop, surrounded by let's say 10(to keep it interesting) 14 yr old teenagers that won't back down and are harassing you. What would be your response? Ask if any of them are armed? What if after asking multiple times they still don't answer you and a couple of them posture towards you? This all takes place in under 30 seconds, what would you do?
Those kids were nothing but confused by the whole incident. You can try to call the usual "we don't know" BS but there were two or three kids talking to a cop when he ran up and started yelling. This is America and innocent till proven guilty. So on that line you show me anywhere a weapon was seen in those videos (they were just going to the pool) and then we can talk but that girl sat there when he left her to then come back and man handle her like that? Are you kidding me with the thin blue line BS..... and you wonder why cops are losing more and more trust every day? It is sickening to hear anybody defend that behavior.

Confused?? Like they thought they belonged there and they had no idea why the cops showed up? Really? It's not "we don't know bullshit", we actually don't know yet.
Actually the the first part of my post "let's say you're not a cop" clearly laid out what I was asking. The thin blue line comments don't apply to my questions. Maybe you are reading someone else's posts.
When I was younger I was a Lifeguard. I was put at one of the tougher pools because I was better at handling these types of situations(including the occasional fight). I got called to an even rougher pool one day because they (the kids at the pool) were really getting to one of the other lifeguards there. It was rough. Some tried to sneak in, others acted like they owned the place. I kicked some out, sat others in a time out and was able to bring order back. I did this by standing my ground when needed, working with the parents and then using them against each other instead of allowing it to continue in a 'pack mentality'. The biggest thing I did was not lose control, which was the mistake of the other guard(s). I did not need to call the cops, which is what the others were close to doing. If we had, I would have expected them (the cops) to do the same. I de-escalated, not what that jackhole did.
The thin-blue-line statements come from cops trying to defend him...... So gonna stick by my comments.
