Oregon police were called to an ocean beach on the Fourth of July and arrested seven white adults they say harassed a Black family with racial slurs and Nazi salutes.
The incident began with officers responding around 9:30 p.m. to a report of a group of people shooting off illegal fireworks and causing a disturbance, Lincoln City police said.
More officers arrived after the cops who initially responded were surrounded by the group, taunted and challenged to fights, police said.
Police said officers also spoke to the family who complained about the harassment and said they felt intimidated.
