Oh give me a break. I'm sure they have parks in the own area, obviously not as big as Prospect Park, but still a park that they can enjoy. Any time that I've seen teens in large groups they have usually caused problems, and it isn't a coincidence either. I just get the impression that their own neighborhoods aren't exactly the greatest, so they figure why not come to a nice neighborhood and tear it down as well?
Not that the park thing is necessarily pertinent. I was just bringing it up as an example. Prospect Park is the park in Brooklyn and everyone uses it. It's a public park.

Yeah but you do have teens that will travel from afar for whatever reason just to go to the park in a nice area. Never understood that for the life of me. They'll travel HOURS for that. Are their own parks that bad? I mean I'm sure they must have some of the same things in their neighborhood parks that parks in nice neighborhoods have. Basketball hoops, etc. etc. If they don't then maybe that's the problem. However, as I said, you do have the types that are just coming to cause problems that just want to make their presence known.
That homework comment must have really ticked this lady off. She rather them fight in the streets than do homework in the library. Typical Brooklynite, she just wants to fit in.
I think most people make assumptions based on presentation, and first impressions. Although I don't know for certain how the boys were dressed, my guess is, they were imitating their favorite rappers. If this is indeed true, they will forever be targets, if they choose to walk around with their underwear showing, while speaking very loudly and blasting music.
What's racist? You are the OP. You are the one looking to make this entirely about race. It isn't. There was very likely a preceeding incident that took place before this lady that hates homework got involved. Just because we aren't all as gullible as you does not make everyone racist. Coming from the south, do you really know what its like in Brooklyn?

Again the park thing is sort of besides the point, but in case you didn't know, parkland is at a premium in Brooklyn since its the borough with the least of it.
If this is true, the kids were fighting and being disruptive. So that would mean their getting stopped (if true) had nothing to do with race or how they were dressed, both allegations repeated on this thread with little to no evidence.
Thank you for posting the update on this, bigjake. Yes, it's better that these kids do their homework or something productive than fight. If this is what happened the cops did nothing wrong.
