Texas community questions police use of force, disrespect at a pool party

A video capturing a white policeman pushing a unarmed black girl in a swimsuit and pointing his gun at other black teens has sent ripples of outrage through a Dallas suburb and across the country. Police had been called to a neighborhood pool party on Friday, where some say the use of force was over the top. William Brangham talks to Leona Allen of The Dallas Morning News.
