1. It looks like a fight broke out between the one African American and a white woman, this was broken up by two African Americans males AND the one white woman, who push the other woman away from the fight as the African Americans males pulled the African American Girl from the fight. The down side is that white woman seems to have made comments to the African American Girl as she pulled the other white woman from the fight.

2. The Police then shows up and decides to minimize the fighting by telling all of the African Americans to sit down on the grass. It appears the white men were NOT told to do so, but it also appears none of them participated in the fight.

Now, given those observations, lets critique the actions of the Police Officers.

A. There were told a fight had broken out and I suspect it was a report saying African Americans had started the fight.

B. The police went into the fight to suppress the fight and told everyone to stand down. It appears the white males all obeyed this order, it appears that the FEMALE African American kept on arguing with the officers.

C. The African Americans who did as told, i.e. to sit on the grass, were NOT handcuffed, but those African Americans who did NOT sit on the grass were handcuffed.

Sorry, the Police are trained to end violence and threats of violence and are permitted to use FORCE to do so. If a police officer tells you to do something, you MUST obey his orders, if not that is a violation of the law. You can only disobey a police order if it would result in death of severe bodily injury, otherwise it is in the courts are where any improper orders are to be addressed NOT in the streets.

I hate to say this it appears the African American 19 year old woman was still mad about being in a fight with the white women. The African American Woman had NOT calmed down by the time the Police arrived, the white woman disappears (I would not be surprised her husband or the other white woman took her home to get out of the mess). The 19 year old continues on her rage, this time complaining to the Officers, and then something happens that causes the police to arrest her. I suspect the Officers told her to be quite and she did not and yelled at the officers.
