of broken glass? Were there any empty bottle visible in the footage?

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.

of every article if it were true. It would have been "Unruly teens throw bottles at cars, create near-riot conditions" or something.

There are no sources claiming bottles were thrown. None. He has some explaining to do.
I have some extremely conservative relatives.

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.
