And the cop used way too much force, and deserves strong disciplinary action or getting fired, imo. Looks like this is another instance of cops needing training.
Whether or not the kids were supposed to be at the pool is questionable. Private neighborhood pools aren't open to the public, and I've read that they weren't supposed to be there which is why the cops kept telling them to leave.
I would bet that a couple of the kids lived in the neighborhood and invited their friends over not realizing they could only invite a limited number of guests. Our family can only invite four guests at a time - up from three a few years ago.
