"Now imagine yourself as a solitary police officer coming onto the
scene: utter chaos, little children running away crying, loud music
blasting, bad actors laughing, ordinary neighborhood families forced to
abandon the pool THEY PAY FOR because of what was becoming a riot. "These party-goers were teenagers. Think back just a few weeks ago to Baltimore.
