This is Brandon Brooks, the boy who filmed the controversial video of a Texas cops harassing a group of black teenagers attending a pool party.
Brooks, 15, says the altercation erupted between upset neighbors and another adult.
“The cops showed up and the parents immediately started yelling, ‘you need more cops, there’s too many of them.’ And most of the kids weren’t even involved. It was a fight between a mom and girl, which had nothing to do with all the other kids that she apparently needed more cops for.” Brooks said. “I was one of the only white people in the area when that was happening. You can see in part of the video where he tells us to sit down, and he kinda like skips over me and tells all my African-American friends to go sit down.”
