Have you been shot at? I have. Have you ever been stabbed? I have. I have seen teenagers kill a lot of good men without hesitation or reservation, and with out any remorse. This cop, good or bad, was faced with a life or death situation, and he handled it a lot better than I would have. Also, he is alive to face the consequences of his actions. If I am on the jury I will give the cop the benefit of the doubt. The woman should have submitted to the arrest, then none of this would have happened. Send her to jail for a long time.

Right now these thugs are protected and ANYTHING the cops do will be bad.

I would back off and let them fight or whatever until a black officer or higher rank than me arrived and took charge.

These thugs are NOT worth going to jail for or dying trying to arrest them.

I always wonder how the Founding Fathers made it through all those years without polices everywhere, unlike the America of today.

Local law enforcement goes back to the 1600's.

BTW in my local jurisdiction, local police aren't everywhere. I have a red 400+ hp sports car that I drive fast and I've never gotten a ticket here for speeding.

“You’ve obviously lived a very sheltered life. On such private community pools (or ANY OTHER private facility) there are rules related to inviting guests.”

I never said there weren’t rules on inviting guests. I said that they had been invited via social media so they thought they could be there.
I saw the video. Nobody was rioting at worst they were mouthing off to the cop and doing that thing teenagers do where they make you tell them something 10 times.
The guys shooting the video even returned a flashlight the insane cop had dropped and the other cops were keeping pretty calm.
But the cop doing all the running around and screaming was over the line and the girl he went after was 14 and I’m sure terrified. The idiot Rambo wannabe cop is supposed to be an adult and a trained professional obviously if this video is an example then both of those statements are wrong.
Cops bitch because people don’t respect them and then pull Gestapo crap like this and wonder why.
Oh and the girl wasn’t charged with anything and neither were any of the teens. The only arrest was an adult for interfering the police.
This cop lost his temper and blew his professionalism it could have just easily been at anybody here for something as simple as saying “Hey I don’t think I was going that fast”
I know the cop groupies here think the boys in blue are straight up kind of guys but there’s been way too much of this kind of over reaction recently.
Why was he the only cop who was losing his mind.
Comes off like an a$$hole on a power trip.

Look at the video. None of those kids were doing anything like that they were jawing at the cop.
The two he pulled the gun on were already backing away from him when he pulled the gun.
If he;s that damned panicked by a bunch of highschoolers when he has backup right there then he’s too damn scared to have that job.
But I don’t think he was scared I think he was Pissed. He lost his temper and made the situation worse.
He was probably embarrassed from falling on his butt when he started chasing the first kid.
This wasn’t about him being afraid for his life. It’s about him being Barney Fife.

Easy for you to say that, your life was not in jeopardy. My reaction would have been bang bang. Two less thugs. My DI said kill them first them then worry about it later. He was threatened by them, screw them. If you are on their side you are either a pussy or a liberal. Grow a pair. If you don't like what I think then bite me. I have grown tired of this liberal bs. I hope the cops start removing this type of vermin from the US, and I support the cop. The hell with the PC

Well that explains it. Put out an invite on "social media", and the invitees have no obligation to see if the invite is legit.

The “woman” was 14 years old and was released to her parents without any charges being filed.

The cop screwed up.

I generally agree with your assessment.

So, I’m going to say I’m with the cops on this one, FOR NOW.

"Everyone here would be fine with the cop acting like that if that herd was in their yard, or their pool, or on their property."

Many miles of roads in my area on the Rockies are private and belong to our association. Maybe we should remember that, when suburbanites from upscale neighborhoods come creeping around. Except that here, the residents are enforcement.

He’s a Rambo wannabe. Google Eric Casebolt.

I can tell ya...... I’m a suburbanite...(even though I do own a ranch and property in southeast Oklahoma)... but I live in a upscale suburb. If I’m ever walking in the rockies and you tell me I’m on private property and to get the hell out... You’ll just have to tell me once. I’ll apologize for being on your place, and move along as instructed. It works that way in Southeast Oklahoma too.

Well, that depends on who you're asking. The FReepertarian and PuffingtonHost set advise following up with "pretty please with cherries on top". That usually brings the most recalcitrant offender around, at least that's what I understand from their posts.

If that fails, the one thing we cannot abide is that racist nonsense they teach in every police academy in the US: take the suspect to the ground and apply the cuffs. And if a bunch of people rush you and try to lynch the suspect out of custody, you mustn't unholster your pistola. It's only issued out for appearances sake.

They came at him and they backed away from him as he got up, if it was me they would be dead meat. No questions asked, you do not come at an officer in that manner and not expect him to pull his weapon. what if he did not stand up and they got the drop on him and killed him, would that be ok with you. You have seconds to react in this type of situation, the cop is alive and the two idiots who rushed them should be thanking their GOD that it was not me they rushed. I would have killed them.

Well if you’re that afraid and that’s not just keyboard warrior talk then I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up finishing out your life in the penitentiary. Panicked people tend to make really bad decisions when those panic lights flash.
The cops aren’t allowed to just shoot people neither is the general population.

“the police’s jib in Thu situation is to maintain order however it needs to be maintained.”

Does not justify the use of deadly force.
