This video was posted on Saturday showing multiple police offers as well as random white passerby assaulting multiple black teens who were leaving a pool party after a fight broke out. As per the video's description:
"A fight between a mom and a girl broke out and when the cops showed up everyone ran, including the people who didn't do anything. So the cops just started putting everyone on the ground and in handcuffs for no reason. This kind of force is uncalled for especially on children and innocent bystanders.
-EDIT-
To some people saying that the cop pulled out his taser on the kid, it was not a taser it was a gun."
The main agitator in the video, Cpl. Casebolt deleted all social media and has been placed on administrative leave with pay:

I was once a 14 year old blk girl. I can't imagine how I would have responded to the world after being abused and degraded by police. Think.

— Reagan Gomez (@ReaganGomez) June 7, 2015The saddest part of that video is seeing how respectable those kids were being to those cops while they were harassed. Did it matter? No.
