Perfect two-fer-one solution: A DJ who's going to advertise on social media!

The girl, typical teen, thinks it through no further than that.

In most cases, I'd give the mother a pass for not knowing the impact of social media, but in this case it appears the mother dabbles in S&M herself; she should have known both the limits of the HOA and the power of social media. Mom is the culprit here.

So they get a whole lot more than they bargained for and couldn't hope to handle it.
She sure is and I hope she gets in some hot water over her behavior and dismissal of clearly defined HOA rules - not to mention common sense.

What ? And cause another social media flurry of "racist" and "discrimination" babble ?

No the HOA is not going to do anything to them. They aren't stupid.

Almost every private pool has a sign saying it's only for the residents and you should have your ID.

My son lives in an apartment complex with a pool. Sign says for residents only.
They don't have a manned entrance with someone there 24/7/365 checking.
But they do do random checks and have come to know which residents live there.

Americans are sure getting crazier and crazier these days.
That's RACIST!
Everybody knows the words "residents only" and "have your ID" are code words for no blacks or people of color allowed.

This world is certainly in a car moving down the life highway to full blown insanity, the car has only one gear which is forward and is being driven at higher and higher speeds by (enter race huckster of choice here).

I am sorry. I misused the word.

No white teenagers were cuffed or thrown to the ground. Nor were publicly humiliated.

This information is derived whom interviews white white teenagers who were on the scene.

There was selective enforcement. I think the McKinney Police department did the right thing in suspending this former officer. I am guessing that he was asked to resign.

Does anyone know for sure?

Grace Stone is White. She has been interviewed on TV and there are videos online. You are picking and choosing what you wish to believe.

As I wrote before, no arrests were made except for one man, 19, who was approaching officer Casebolt. He said he was shoved and didn't mean to lunge forward. He was released and no charges were filed.

EDIT: I saw this interview on MSNBC. Her father talks extensively about his daughter who was in handcuffs on the ground crying. When I was her age, I probably would have spoken up too, but that's not why I am posting this. It's because you and others insist the police were cuffing Black people which is not true.

Poster didn't use the word "arrested." He/she said "cuffed" or "thrown to the ground", which did happen.

Yes, Sheena12 has posted that there were several arrests, just not in that particular comment. One Black man, 19 years old, was arrested and released. She also said no White kids were cuffed even though other posters here said there was a White girl in handcuffs on the ground. That's why I finally looked for the video. If Grace Stone and her Dad are not White, I guess I need new glasses.

Except that the rule was apparently not enforced and others were welcome at various events at the pool.

It's after the fairly and equally heading. It's pretty far down in the article.

How is having your ID ready racist?

Hillary demands you show your ID to get in to watch her events. Is she racist according to your standards?

Racist would be something like saying American Pharoah was an African American horse.

Oh wait, the media did call it that.

Now hold on, are you saying that Blacks are not people of color? Why did you draw that distinction?
