Civil rights leaders want answers to what they say was the use of excessive force against a group of African-American teenagers by Ocean City police on the boardwalk this past Saturday.
The incident occurred as the officers were enforcing a vaping ban that is in effect on certain parts of the boardwalk. The department is investigating the incident, which was filmed by a civilian bystander who has asked not to be identified. The video was obtained by major media outlets such as CNN.
