My cousin claims the pool party teens were throwing bottles at cars before the cops arrived. Is this true?

It certain that there are those who will make up any lie to excuse racist behavior by cops and whites. That is a given.
I'd say who ever makes that claim needs to provide proof.

(3,252 posts)There are no sources claiming bottles were thrown. None. He has some explaining to do.
I have some extremely conservative relatives.

(34,825 posts)because there is ONE account being circulated widely on Facebook without any corroboration, and that runs contrary to what witnesses claim, and what the video shows. If this guy's account is true, you can bet he would be front and center on Hammity's shitshow. The fact that this person has not been interviewed would indicate to me that he has been vetted, and that his story has been found to be less than truthful.
