A police officer in McKinney, Texas, has been placed on administrative leave after a video surfaced showing him aggressively confronting teens at a pool party on Friday evening.

Police officers were first called to the scene around 7:15 pm local time to respond to a disturbance at the Craig Ranch Community pool in the Dallas area.

According to a statement released by the McKinney Police Department, officers who arrived on scene "encountered a large crowd that refused to comply with police commands."
