Here's a discussion with Brandon Brooks, the teen who shot the video. In the first minute he says that the security guard told him and his friends to leave...and they didn't. He seems surprisingly unaware that he was trespassing with his friends. In any case, he was white and was asked to leave all the same because he didn't have a pass, lending credence to Embry's point-of-view. Considering there's undisputed evidence that the teens were trespassing, were asked to leave, and didn't, I'm not sure we can blame this solely on the white adults starting it like you've said....
Of course a 'couple' teens trespassing in a pool shouldn't solicit an officer pulling out a gun. He clearly lost control of the situation and is unfit for police work. And Brooks may not be wrong in his assessment that the officer was racial profiling.
