Should had waited for other cops to show up in force.
She and a bunch of others crashed a pool party in a somewhat upscale neighborhood. They've been doing it around the DFW area. A guy on Twitter announces where and when ... and how to hide from the cops when they show up. Witnesses said some were having intercourse in the pool. Fights broke out after they wouldn't leave when asked. Then they wouldn't comply with the cops trying to restore order.
And this video starts long after everything was already out of control. This specific cop showed up and was trying to keep others from getting closer to the main action. IMO, he got carried away and will probably faces some sort of discipline for it, but this was a crazy situation all around. The girl in question was one of those that wouldn't sit down or leave. And she kept yelling at the cop and fighting him when he tried to detain her.

I think the cop handled it badly, but he didn’t do any permanent or even temporary damage to anybody and the other officers who showed up seemed to be able to handle it better.
That said, this thing with kids crashing a party because of Twitter messages - which is certainly not only a black thing - has got to stop, because it has resulted in a number of seriously bad situations.
We used to have mini-riots in one town I lived in because the kids would send out invitations to everybody they knew to come to the house of somebody nobody knew...except perhaps the person who had sent the invitation ... and there’d be literally 500 kids there, looking for beer, in no time at all. The cops in town were specially trained for dealing with this, but even so, there were a lot of arrests and confrontations.
