Langley Swim and Tennis community pool. I asked my daughter again, what exactly was said to her. She said "Becky" said to her "Larla, I'm not sure you should come to my party on Wednesday because I wouldn't want happened in Texas to happen to my party. My daughter says "What happened in Texas?" Friend says "You haven't seen the video on the news, it all over the internet?" My daughter then has to remind Becky that she doesn't get to watch TV during the week and has limited access to internet. Becky says " Some Black kids went to a swim party at a community pool and someone called the police because they weren't supposed to be there. I've never seen any other black kids at our community pool, so I'm unsure if you should come. I"ll ask my mom and call you tonight." My daughter then says "OOOKAYYYY, uh maybe I shouldn't come, I'll have to ask my mom too."

I think my daughter left out some things from the conversation but she was still seriously concerned that she shouldn't go to the party. I then showed her the video of what happened. And Becky has not called as of yet to say whether or not she still is invited. If Becky has not called by 7pm, I am calling Becky's mom for clarification.

shit. Call me an angry, black woman all you want. This officer was out of control and out of line. That some of you racist bitches would put the responsibly of behaving rationally, maturely and responsibly on TEENS and not adult police officers is so low, I'm almost speechless.

You tacky, tacky bitches.

You really shouldn't get mouthy with a cop. Ever try that with a speeding ticket?

Well, it is not illegal to do so and it does not warrant being forcibly restrained - IF the officer is doing his job right. See, you want to say the girl got slammed because she mouthed off. But slamming her is NOT a legal response to her mouthing. So even if you say the 14YO was wrong...what does that make the profesionally trained officer?

I didn't say it was illegal. It isn't a good idea though, especially in a highly chaotic scene like that.

I've taught my children to be respectful (to everyone) and to always obey/follow orders from the police and emergency personel. If the police were in the wrong our lawyer can sort it out later.

Better that then injured in the chaos, beaten, tasered or dead.

Have you heard of Kalief Browder? What do you think about him being held at Rikers for two years (right to due process not granted)? Regarding this, can you understand why some families do not share your faith re: the equity of the justice system?

Have you heard of Freddy Gray? Police were wrong; he never even made it to the precinct, much less to his lawyer.

Those are rather unique cases. I don't think I'll base my parenting choices on them.

On behalf of the white people, please apologize to your daughter for being treated so disrespectfully. If I found out my "Becky" behaved so atrociously, I'd sure punish her by canceling her party in it's entirety.

Okay, now I don't know what to do. I work really hard at not being characterized as an "Angry Black Woman", so I really had to hold my tongue.

I called Becky's mom. Said our usual pleasantries, discussed summer plans and all that. I then say "Susie, Larla was talking to Becky about the swim party on Wednesday and she seems to have some concerns." Before I could any further, Susie says "Yeah, I know. Becky doesn't want folks at the pool to be concerned about Larla being there. You know with all this stuff going on in the media, I too am concerned. So I don't know." I was speechless and really didn't know what to say for a moment. I was really trying to measure my response. I say "Susie, I really don't know what to say, is Larla invited or not? Honestly its' not a big deal you know, because we have a pool. Larla and Becky have been good friends for a couple of years and I would hate for this to come between them or us. Larla was really surprised that Becky didn't know if she could come to the party because she is black. Do you think members of your club would cause problems for my daughter? She says flatly "I don't know". I say "Are there any other black members?" She says "I'm sure there are, but we haven't seen any at the pool since I've been a member." I then say "Susie, I appreciate the invite, but Larla won't be coming. You all have a great summer and I hope Becky has a nice party. Thanks." I hung up.

I told my little Larla she would not be going to the party, she was disappointed. I told her she could have a few friends over to our private home pool over the weekend if she wanted. She then asks if she should/could invite Becky? I say I don't know, I'll have to ask DH. My DD likes Becky, I like her too. But I don't if I can allow this friendship to continue because it appears that neither Susie or Becky would stand up for my DD if in their presence some racist $hit went down.

I'm just speechless. These are the really difficult conversations we have to have.

I'm sorry this is happening to your family. I assume your daughter is Becky's only black friend.
Do they go to private school? I have a friend who removed her son from private school because she kept encountering these types of situations.

Meanwhile the one he was trying to arrest is still mouthing off and not cooperating.................

The organizer of the pool party didnt have permission from the pool to have the party, more kids showed up than expected.
There is a lot more to this story than the brief video.

Mom of a black daughter here, My kid will be taught to respect others including the Police. So many kids now have no respect for anyone else.

And yet you left out so much information that has already been reported.

What would you like to see happen here? Career over for cop? Lawsuits? Riots?

WTF. The girl was hurt. Would you like for the someone to pull you around by your hair, throw you to the ground, knee you in the back, and then pass you on to a strange fat man to hold his your head between his sweaty thighs? Riots, absolutely not! Career over for cop, absolutely. He does not display the mental attributes to have such enormous power. Lawsuits are not an issue. The city will negotiate a quick and confidential settlement. Her college is paid for as of the time the officer displayed his mental illness.

When two teenagers come up behind you, you have every damn right to pull your gun. Especially in today's lovely race-baiting climate.

The 'girl' was acting like a spoiled little brat. What do you think would happen if he went up to her and said "I'd really like you to leave please". Wasn't that tried at least once? Did they listen? No. Why not?
