The beginning has police violence sounds. I said to my husband, amazing a song from 1973 is still so relevant today.

We need a little " fight the power" and "get up stand up for your rights" right now in this country.

I only peeked at the story, so maybe I have it wrong ... But my understang is that it is a community pool where membership is limited to members of the community. Members are limited to 1 or 2 guests at a time. Someone ( i wasn't clear on whether or not that person was a pool member or not ) sent out an invitation on social nedia to a party with DJ at the pool and like 70-100 people showed up. Sounded like one of those 'house party gone viral' situations. Got out of hand. People think they are 'invited' but the invitations aren't really valid...i can see it getting ugly.
