Cops will force you to their will because they can. Respect The Man or else.

In a news conference, [Bishop Bobby] Hilton said Krystal Dixon brought eight children to the pool last Tuesday, but one child was ordered to leave, because he didn’t have proper swim trunks.
Hilton said Dixon went to get swim trunks but was told when she returned that the teen wouldn’t be allowed back in.
At that point, Hilton said, Dixon went to get the other kids from the pool, passing an officer who told her she had to leave.
Dixon told the officer that she had to get the rest of the kids and passed him. She retrieved the kids and was leaving when the officer grabbed her arm and said he had told her to leave, Hilton said.

It's so deeply, deeply horrifying. I guess the similarity is real, as these kids, especially the boys, will wind up with a record that could destroy their lives before they have even
reached adulthood.

were being committed, and allowed to go untended, while the police busied themselves pepper spraying these folks at the pool?
Waste of resources.
If the security guard can't handle an issue like this on his or her own, then that security guard needs to be fired and a qualified one brought in.
No way the police should have been called over a matter like this one.

The cops are acting like orders were given from a central command to assault people of color, homeless, mentally ill.
