I agree—though a beating by the cops is probably not the due punishment.
I wish I knew the facts better. It does look like the rules are no more than 20 to a party, but also the “hosts” claim that most of the attendees were classmates and from the neighborhood. If so, were they entitled to go to the pool on their own and not officially count as part of the 20?
I really don’t know. I’ve also read that they had obscene, loud rap music blasting, etc. Don’t know if any of that is true.
And the cop screaming at the kids with profanity when issuing his instructions was also totally uncalled for. Looked like he’d watched far too many cop shows on TV.
Even after all this, there are still way too many questions to be answered. Even I am left with questions myself.
When I say I blame BOTH the former cop and the gate crashing kids, other posters here and on other sites view my comment with surprise. But it is because there is still way too many questions that need to be answer first.
IMO there’s definitely fault on both sides.
