Video: US police officer harasses 'black' teens at a pool party

A highly disturbing video showing a police officer harassing kids at a pool party has been making rounds on social media. The video shows a police officer of the Dallas suburb of McKinley shoving teenage kids at a local communal pool to the ground and handcuffing them.

Police were allegedly called to the community pool because teenagers were causing a 'disturbance' in the area. According to Brandon Brooks, who uploaded the video on Youtube, the police were called to the predominatly white suburb following a fight between 'a mom and a girl'.

"A fight between a mom and a girl broke out and when the cops showed up everyone ran, including the people who didn't do anything," he wrote on Youtube.

"So the cops just started putting everyone on the ground and in handcuffs for no reason. This kind of force is uncalled for especially on children and innocent bystanders."
