Posted elsewhere by a friend of a friend / resident of the neighborhood involved:
“A DJ setup in a public space next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJ was tweeting out invites to a “pool party” for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood). The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down. The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with 3 young children). The first officer on the scene was by himself. At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were being very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived.
This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood’s side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. This information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies.
The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white’s only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE.
The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend. Unfortunately, the press and social media are trying to enflame the situation.”
The DJ needs to get paid, after all.
It appears that it was a party thrown by a 19yo black girl and a coupla friends, far more people than invited and/or allowed by HOA pool rules showed up, and things got out of hand
Judging by the paucity of info as to what happened at the pool, i can only surmise that the kids were reciting Chaucer or perhaps the Bard, and playing Go or backgammon.
Basically, 30-40+ kids show up at a pool, with at least 1 resident (the 19 yo), maybe her friends are residents too. prolly waaaayyyyy too many ppl for the number of residents involved
IF I lived there I’d stay up at night and stand guard. I’d hate to shoot someone because they were keying my car but I would definitely fire into the air. If they fired back and missed it would be the last time they fired a weapon because I wouldn’t be shooting in the air the next time.
I think the in future situations like this police by PA should inform innocents to clear the area. Then he should tell the rest of the idiots that he will not exit his car until sufficient backup arrives. When you have many people recording and selectively editing, the perception is going to be highly distorted. Then officer’s lives are ruined. Their only chance is to have multiple officers with bodycams aimed in all directions recording everything. If the idiots kill each other before backup arrives. ..too bad.
