Instead of deescalating the scene he escalated it putting not only the civilians but himself and his fellow officers in greater danger than necessary.
Luckily his boss doesn't agree with you.
you're the type of moron that can only see past their own nose. never could put yourself in anyone else's shoes huh? everything in your world is right and anything outside of that, well then, people simple deserve what they get. you're the type of person that always says, well, that could never happen to me or my family. i hope one day you're put into a situation where you have to make a decision where your distorted views of how the world is supposed to work and operate is crushed.
i actually sorta pity people like yourself.
And the case was dismissed. The question is how often do cops have such suits brought against them?
in any case, his character really is irrelevant here, since we can see all of his actions on camera and judge them on their own.
What's the issue? That he pinned down a girl in her "bikini" who was acting like a complete twat or that he drew on "unarmed teens" who in fact were acting very aggressively?
If I'm not mistaken it is standard practice to be put on administrative leave until any investigation is done. He should receive some sort of reprimand for his language. Paperwork, small suspension, something. As a public figure you just can't talk like that to anyone. No matter if they're cussing you like a dog, you can't do it back. But I have no issues with him pulling the gun when the two males started to confront him. His yelling and cussing is what escalated it, and shouldn't have happened.

There are stories about Twitter being used to get a bunch of people, flash mod style, to go to the pool and I'd like to know has anyone followed up on this? That is, if this story is true there should be proof of this on Twitter unless this has been removed.
So, what's the deal with this story?

People from the community claim the pool party was organized on twitter. They claimed that the person who organized it charged $15 to get in...There has been no evidence to support this claim.
Appropriate
I know, right. Who wouldn't resign if the brain trust of the general population refuses to support you while you are attempting to control a hundred or so teenagers actively fighting while trespassing after assaulting someone as they advance on you and refuse to comply with your legal commands?

Funny how all the other officers seemed to be able to maintain their cool during the situation.
Funny how all the other officers didn't have two people already actively breaking the law advancing on them while subduing a suspect. Probably a lot easier to maintain your cool when you aren't being encroached upon by people disregarding the law while you enforce it.

It really didn't appear to be a dangerous party. Loud, obnoxious yes. Maybe a better plan would have been wait for more cops to show up then disperse the teens.
You're an idiot
Seriously this is it. ^^^
Forget all the racial crap, forget about how this nut roll started. Billy bad ass in his white socks made a bad situation worse. We should be able to expect "trained" adults to be able to deal with kids in bikinis without having to resort to throwing them to the ground.
The man was a freaking supervisor, he should have been providing leadership on scene instead he was running around like a crazy man.
They were already breaking the law and there were reports that fights were breaking out amongst the teens. There was already the bit about someone assaulting a woman. They forced their way past security guards and disregarded instructions to leave. They showed absolutely no regard for the rule of law the entire time they were there, then started advancing on a cop. Sure, strength in numbers would have been better for the cops, but in that interim who knows what could have happened. These cops had the stones to go into a situation where they were grossly outnumbered, and now a bunch of nimrods what to hang them by the stones. Joke of a society.
Ok, mister more idiot than an idiot.

Agree completely. It isn't about race, it's about cops and their seeming ability to turn any situation into a complete clusterfuck.
