Considering I couldn't really find any details about any of this story, I would really like to see the source you got this information.

The first I heard about this story was this morning on NPR.
Then there was RF and the link in the OP. There are many others available.
If there is a fact in my version you want to take issue with feel free to say which it is and why you think I am wrong.

Basically, from what I can tell, any combination of five words in your sentence seems to be a misrepresentation of the truth.

Like which?
There was about 100 people?
One policeman was accosted by two?
Those are two five word sentences. Tell me where I am wrong. Maybe I missed something in the reporting, aside from political correctness.
Tom

Eta~I just realized that my second sentence has six words.
I expect that will matter more to the PC than what I actually said.~

About a hundred black and brown people jumped a fence, crashed a private party, started fighting and carrying on until the owners called the cops and then proceeded to attack the cops.
I'm calling BS.

One, the number is fictitious. A hundred came from no where. Secondly, white people were also present at this party. Thirdly, while some "jumped a fence," you made it seem like this was the case for all black and brown people present, which wasn't the case. The private party they "crashed" was the one they were invited to by their friend. The kids didn't fight amongst themselves, a fight started when a white woman started slurring at the kids, and slapped a black girl (and a minor) in the face. The "owners" calling the cop seems made up, as I've seen no indication that anyone has reported who actually called the cops, and then finally, NO ONE ATTACKED THE COPS.

The number 100 came from both BuzzFeed and NPR.
BuzzFeed explained that the pool didn't allow more than 20 guests.

Thanks.

"Benet Embry, a black man who hosts a local radio show, said more than 100 teens were at the pool, the AP reported. The issue was not race, said Embry, who lives in the neighborhood, but a teenage party that got out of hand. The homeowners association allows residents to host pool parties at the community pool with up to 20 guests.

Grace Stone, a white 14-year-old, told BuzzFeed News that when she and her friends objected to the racist comments about public housing, an adult woman then became violent."

So something a long those lines. I don't think it was unreasonable for cops to show up at a disturbance call. That's basically their job. I think people were concerned about this guy being crazily aggressive (even his partners are like, dude, chill out) and pulling his gun out at kids. I have no idea if the "white equivalent" would have evoked the same response. I expect douche bags to potentially be douche bags at any moment. That a cop yelling that much at a bunch of kids for what appears to be no particular goal, and using 10 years in the military experience and Krav Maga training to take an uppity 14-year-old girl in a bikini, isn't really that much of a surprise.

What I'm seeing is an incomplete picture.
What's the basis for all the certainty, quantification, & accusations of misrepresentation?

Trying to figure out when it's okay to pin a non-violent teenage girl to the ground and pull your gun out at kids.

When I heard the description of a crowd of kids rushing him, pulling the gun sounded like a reasonable choice which shouldn't have become a choice.

"Kids" is one of those emotional words. Puts you in mind of a toddler.
" Big Mike" Brown, late of Ferguson, was also described that way.

Exactly what incident are you referring to? If you're referring to the McKinney, Texas pool incident, then the above would be a lie, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt exactly once. I'm losing track of all these white-male-officers-assaulting-or-killing-people-of-color incidents.
