Who is the fat white man in the pool party raid?

Not the cop, but the fat white male (mid forties-ish) in a tan polo shirt and shorts. He's milling around and being allowed to roam around as he pleases while all the black kids are bossed around and threatened.

Who is he, and what authority does he have?

joke out of it.

Was funny, but the guy is just a neighbor I think.

Did the cop ACTUALLY do a BARREL ROLL at one point as Larry showed, or was that doctored for funny?

violence, but I could NOT believe it when I saw it.

The cop was bad enough, but the comments from the republican Women who started the whole thing, the teapartiers.

How do I know they are repub or teaparty?

Simple math

There are three trees in a row, each with exposed roots, and he's running along where the roots are.

It'd be kind of hard not to trip running over those roots.

If you watch the film as it comes back the other direction, you can see exposed tree roots on the ground where the idiot did his barrel roll.

At first I thought he might try to help the girl, not physically but by talking down the cop. But instead he seemed to be circling around like he was daring anyone to pull the cop off the girl. I really hope someone gets a statement from this guy as to what he thought he was doing, because right now he looks like a racist POS.

The one leaning his crotch onto her head with his arms spread out so no one can help her up or even approach the 14 yr old who was walking away like rambocop told her before rambocop ran after her dragged her back and forced her onto the ground but before he knelt on the terrified girl's back?
