The two heroes are lucky they didn't get shot, running up on a cop like that. Hopefully they were charged with obstruction.

Visceral reaction to seeing a little girl abused.

You call that "out of control"?

The cops arrived with reports of out of control teens threatening the locals and starting fights. The cop just wanted everyone to calm down and explain what happened. Instead, all of his requests were ignored. It was like herding cats. Some people don't think they need to listen. They think it's their right to run around like a chicken with its head cut off whenever and wherever they please.

Did they really believe they were going to getting 50-100 kids to be quiet and listen? C'mon. They really needed a bullhorn.

I'm pretty sure I-20 or some DFW freeway would be getting blocked if someone got shot in this scenario. They may even block the entrance to the airport or something silly.

Strap yourselves in, this is what we're in for throughout the rest of our lives. Social media makes a video or article viral where it's perceived that whites are giving the business to blacks and massive protests or even riots will follow. For...ever. From now...on.

So a combination of "Cops" and the Jerry Springer show. Nice.

And Malcolm X and V for Vendetta.

The Spin Room in real life.

why was the girl resisting and trying to get away?

if a cop tries to get me to the ground for some bull****, I'm just going to the ground. fighting only makes it worse.

She is a 14yo girl that is being manhandled. That is usually their reaction.

I hope Rev Al shows up in McKinney so I can heckle him.

Hey Al, get some more Naturalizer for your perm!

Looks like it was the adults who started the trouble by using racial slurs.

That's a very one-sided report, but I expect that from the huffing and puffington post.

Most media reports only tell the teens' side of the story. They don't tell you the kids were climbing over the bars of the fence to get in, or that none of the pool owners invited them.

Whatever. You all have been believing one-sided reports all day.

I don't know what to believe but I think all of this is very unfortunate.

The truth may be somewhere in the middle. What probably happened was 150 uninvited black kids (uninvited by the pool owners) showed up, climbed over the bars (metal fence), and behaved rudely. Then some of the white parents said some racial things. And it all went downhill from there.

This.

Without cell phone cameras those kids would be in jail.
