We have hawks and they are protected so there is nothing we can do about them.

EXACTLY! This is why the Party Promoter who is responsible for the party should have properly notified the HOA, paid the $175 deposit and $50. rental fee and limited her party to the 20 people allowed per HOA guidelines.

Do you see now?

I also feel that it is dangerous to voice an opinion contrary to the mob. Post a comment supporting the police on social media like Facebook, be prepared to take some heat or lose your job. Scary stuff.
It is sad to see this happening in the US. Although this is a social situation, it is frightening to see the retaliatory behavior of some internet mob justice warriors. My mother has told stories of growing up in Argentina and her best friend's father having a picture of Peron in his business. For many years my mother thought her friend's family supported Peron. Many years later, after both had moved to the US my mother found out that they did not agree with Peron but felt pressure to display his picture in their shop. Sadam Hussein was like this as well. We are becoming so intolerant of differing opinions, we are setting ourselves up for a situation like that in the future.

What if he has friends living there and they go with other residents as their guests? Is that not possible?

That, however, has nothing to do with the officer's bad behavior.

And, according to the mother and daughter, the party was supposed to be a barbecue (which could certainly have been fine in the park outside. The problem was the DJ's flyer which promoted the pool. That may or may not have been done by Tatiana. We don't know who is to blame for that flyer.

Would he not have said that then?

And aside from that the teens who were there also said the pool has been open to the public in the past. I don't know that it is true, but I don't see any reason for the guy Lincoln Swift to be lying about it.

Also, many of the teens were invited guests of residents and others were residents.

What they said vs what they put on social media seems to contradict.
Twinzz promotions is Tatyana's business.

Perhaps You don't know who promoted the event as including a swimming pool. Pretty soon you'll be turning Tat & mom into innocent bystanders who should be reimbursed for expenses and mental anguish.
