Yes, private pool party in HOA neighborhood, subject to HOA’s rules & guests needed permission to attend.

Someone put it out on twitter & people crashed the event, jumping the fence.

DJ had setup nearby & was playing rap music; this (plus the fencejumpers) was one of the things that prompted the calls to the cops.

Check FR keyword ‘poolpartycrashers’ for more info on this.

The cop was right to have drawn his weapon. The girl did keep mouthin off. When the cop began taking control, a few people rushed him.

I’d have done the same thing.

Trespassers will be shot.

If they keep moving, they will be shot again.

To bad people are making the police the enemy like our government prevents our soldiers from fighting in war.

It’s war on the streets for officers ‘every day’. Pretty soon the police won’t come so quick and just pick up the residue after the fact.

Unfortunately there are several incidents accompanied by video apparently showing police officers overstepping the line. This has got society all in an uproar.

99% of officers are good guys. Could you imagine society without them?

With that said, there are a few bad apples and now were seeing a backlash.

Interviewed some residents who supported police. Kids started to fight amongst themselves. Police were called and residents happy they did. Said kids were fighting, shouting obscenities, etc.

They called someone a “party promoter” but no name. I guess that’s where the tweeting came in. Nothing mentioned about a DJ.

Yep. Trust me, if this happened in my neighborhood (which on only down the road from CR) every last resident would support the police. We look side-eyed at people walking down the sidewalk if they seem sketchy. Phone calls are made.

>>I don’t care if they step over the line....I really don’t.<<

Until you happen upon a cop that treats you poorly.

I can understand that sentiment. Lot’sa wild crap goin on now days for sure, but we can’t have cops running wild.

I’ve seen a couple of news reports with video of elderly motorist being roughed up, ladies that weigh 100lbs soakin wet being slammed face first into the pavement.

Some of this stuff is out of hand and I do care. Wouldn’t want my wife or teenager abused by anyone....that includes a cop having a bad day.
