Submitted by Simon Black via SovereignMan.com, I’ll be up front with you and say that this video is disturbing. It’s like a bucket of ice-cold water thrown in the face of the dream world that most people are walking through. Watching riots on TV in places like Baltimore and Ferguson, it’s easy to think, “That couldn’t happen here. All that police violence only happens in poor communities.” Guess again. This weekend it was the safe, quiet suburb of McKinney, Texas, about 30 minutes outside of Dallas. McKinney is no gang-infested slum; it’s an affluent bedroom community with an average household income over $96,000 according to Colliers International. (Having grown up just a few miles away, I would add that it’s pretty sterile too, full of big-box retailers, megaplex cinemas, and chain restaurants.) Over the weekend some local kids were having a summer pool party to celebrate a friend’s birthday. With that many adolescents crammed together in one place, there was undoubtedly some silly teenage drama going on. And police were called to the scene. One of them starts off almost immediately screaming profanity-laden tirades at the kids, many as young as 14. This courageous officer’s advice to young people included such gems as “Sit your asses down,” and “Don’t make me fuckin’ run around with 30 pounds of goddamn gear on. . .” At one point throws a girl to the ground who had apparently failed to ‘get her ass out of here’ with appropriate alacrity. You can see him grab her neck and attempt to shove her face into the pavement. The kids all start screaming. Two of them rush over to try and help their classmate, at which point Captain America pulls his gun out and advances menacingly towards them. They bolt. So he turns his attention back to the girl, grabs her head once again, and screams “ON YOUR FACE!!!” as he pins her down on the ground and puts her in handcuffs. It’s really disturbing to watch. Had it been a parent trying to grind his kid’s face into the pavement, Child Protective Services would have immediately removed the girl from the home and the father would be rotting in jail this very moment. But when a police officer does it, he goes on ‘leave’. And only when he’s unlucky enough to be caught on camera. If some random stranger grabbed your child and started attacking her, you’d instantly turn into Bruce Lee and put the guy in a Kung-Fu death grip. But when a police officer attacks your child, the government expects you to just stand around and watch. That’s one of the most disturbing things from the video. You’ll see there are a bunch of adults in the video milling around with their hands in their pockets while the kids get abused. I appreciate they’re doing whatever they feel like they can do to make the best of a bad situation. But they’ve been indoctrinated for so long that their reaction is to be obedient and submissive. They don’t interfere with ‘the law’. They know their place and they act like it. The kids, on the other hand, are all still young enough that they haven’t totally subordinated themselves to the state. There’s still a part of them that’s free. So when the cops get totally out of control, their instinct is to fight back. That is, after all, our natural instinct– to be free. We have to -learn- to be intimidated and subservient to the state. We have to learn to stand around with our hands in our pockets while our children are abused. And that learning takes place in none other than the public school system. I checked the McKinney Independent School District’s website and found that these kids all recite the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning, including that part about “liberty and justice for all.” They sing songs gushing about freedom in America. But they just got a taste of how free they really are. Hopefully that lesson stays with them. It’s certainly more powerful that an entire semester of the mandatory civics class they have to take. After watching the video I actually downloaded a copy of the staple civics textbook Magruder’s American Government, and found a rather prescient passage in the first chapter: “This nation was founded by those who loved liberty and prized it above all earthly possessions.” True statement. But that instinctive flame to be free has gone out for so many people, not only in America but across the world. And no nation can rise again until that flame is rekindled. The textbook continues: “To preserve and protect [their rights and liberty], each generation must learn and understand them anew, and be willing to stand up for them when necessary.” Perhaps that time is finally coming.

"Facebook friends and family – PLEASE HELP! That (now viral) video of the officer in McKinney subduing a girl in a bathing suit was in OUR neighborhood. The situation was NOT what is being reported… A DJ setup in a public space next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJ was tweeting out invites to a “pool party” for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood). The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down. The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with 3 young children). The first officer on the scene was by himself. At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were being very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived. This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood’s side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. This information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies. PLEASE HELP US STOP THE BROADCASTING OF THIS IGNORANCE. The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white’s only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE. The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend. Unfortunately, the press and social media are trying to enflame the situation. I am asking for your help for my family and my neighbor’s safety…PLEASE, PLEASE do not rebroadcast any of these lies."
AM radio reported this morning that the pool-party was hosted by a black family that lived in the community. Sounds like the DJ was the prime cause of nogs crashing a community event. Whatever, the one cop was over the top, imo.
D J Reign wasn't invited by the residents, rather he 'twitters out' Rave Parties & charges $15 a head (or whatever he can get.) As far as the cop goes, I've been surrounded by chimps and I've done the same. I'd do the same today as an armed citizen.
So the idiot DJ was the cause of all this mess? I'd think that her actions are actionable.
That's the million $$$ mystery: Young KC's whereabouts and whether the police are throwing handcuffs at this area troublemaker.
It that your neck of the woods, X?
I drive by Craig Ranch twice a week, I've seen that whole area built up from pastures since the mid-90's. It's pretty nice for suburbia (read: $$$ excludes the undesirables)
Thank god $$$ still works. I could never live with them
Here comes the other shoe dropping: Cornell William Brooks, NAACP president and CEO, released the following statement on the incident: “I am deeply disturbed by the McKinney Police Department’s treatment of these African American teenagers. The excessive force on an unarmed 14-year-old girl clad only in a bikini by an officer wearing a uniform and a gun, was particularly troubling. "These teens appeared to be simply attending a pool party and deserved respectful treatment under the law. We are calling for a full investigation of the McKinney Police Department officers and that they be held accountable to the full extent of the law. We also join the community in wrapping our arms around these young people as they heal from the physical and mental scars this incident may have caused.” starlocalmedia.com/mckinn.../mckinney-police-officer- placed-on-leave-after-throwing-girl-to/article_bb2ca766-0d52-11e5-8e0d- afc03a177a23.html#user-comment-area
======================================= Link not working, can you post a separate article pls. I still think from the footage the responders went a little ape shit.
It's the McKinney Courier-Gazette, a small local rag. Here's the whole article: starlocalmedia.com/mcki nneycouriergazette/ At around 7:15 p.m. June 5, police responded to a disturbance at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool. The initial call came in as a disturbance involving multiple juveniles at the location who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, and who were refusing to leave. Police received several additional calls related to the incident advising that juveniles were fighting, according to police. Upon arrival, officers encountered a large crowd that police say refused to comply with their commands. Nine additional officers responded to the scene, and police were eventually able to gain control of the situation, said Officer Sabrina Boston, McKinney PD spokeswoman. But not before at least one officer, Cpl. Eric Casebolt, was clearly angered. A teenager at the scene recorded a video that shows Casebolt expressing his ire with profanity, mad that the teens were making him run around "in the sun because you want to screw around." What really caught viewers' attention, though, was Casebolt using force to get a girl to the ground. Casebolt is shown throwing around the girl, 15-year-old Dajerria Becton, and pushing her face into the ground. He shoves others who come near, and when two men surround him on the other side, seemingly to come to the girl’s aid, Casebolt pulls out his gun and points it at them. “This video has raised concerns that are being investigated by the McKinney Police Department,” Boston said in a news release. “At this time, one of the responding officers [Casebolt] has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation.” The video went viral, with local and national news outlets picking it up. Over 4.3 million people had viewed it on YouTube by Monday morning. McKinney Mayor Brian Loughmiller said in a released statement that he was “disturbed and concerned” by the video and that he and the City Council expect the police department to “act professionally and with appropriate restraint relative to the situation they are faced with.” After the incident went viral, many took to social media to vent their frustrations, either with the police officers’ actions or with the negative attention the case was getting. Michael Cory Quattrin, who says he lives in the Craig Ranch neighborhood where the party was held, said in a Facebook post that a DJ had set up at the pool and blasted explicit music, then invited others to the pool party via Twitter for $15. “The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence,” the post reads. “The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene.” Quattrin went on to say that the video is “only a very small segment of what happened” and that reports are painting the neighborhood as a “whites only, racist area.” “Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright lie,” he stated. Other videos have surfaced showing at least one fight between two girls outside the pool, with neighbors breaking it up, before police arrived. Benet Embry, who's black, posted on his Facebook account: "Look, I LIVE in this community and this ENTIRE incident is NOT racial at all. A few THUGS spoiled a COMMUNITY event by fighting, jumping over fences into a PRIVATE pool, harassing and damaging property. Not EVERYTHING is about RACE. WE have other issues that NEED our attention other flights of made up make believe causes." Yet, plenty think Casebolt handled the situation with unwarranted force and intimidation. One person even posted Casebolt’s address online as an urge for retaliation against the officer. Many are calling for the immediate firing of Casebolt and his permanent removal from the police department. R.G. Osborne told the McKinney Courier-Gazette there are plenty who are "prepared to demonstrate in solidarity for the rights of the children who were abused and humiliated by Officer Eric Casebolt." "Racism cannot be tolerated anywhere, but most especially it cannot be tolerated when practiced by the very people whose sworn (and, I might add, taxpayer paid) duty is to protect the safety of all citizens, not just those whose color they find personally acceptable," Osborne wrote in an email. McKinney Police Chief Greg Conley, who just recently took over as head of the department, said Sunday that an internal affairs investigation is being conducted. State and national NAACP leadership plans to meet with Conley on Monday and “demand a thorough investigation led by an independent police agency,” according to a release. Cornell William Brooks, NAACP president and CEO, released the following statement on the incident: “I am deeply disturbed by the McKinney Police Department’s treatment of these African American teenagers. The excessive force on an unarmed 14-year-old girl clad only in a bikini by an officer wearing a uniform and a gun, was particularly troubling. "These teens appeared to be simply attending a pool party and deserved respectful treatment under the law. We are calling for a full investigation of the McKinney Police Department officers and that they be held accountable to the full extent of the law. We also join the community in wrapping our arms around these young people as they heal from the physical and mental scars this incident may have caused.”
Guess Sharpton won't be asking this guy over for dinner. Apparently he is off the black reservation completely and is able to think for himself. Doesn't he know that calling black yoots "thugs" is racist? After Baltimore riots, some leaders slam 'thug' as the new n-word
oh, lord, is there another planet to move to? I'm getting really, really sick of this one.

how did you get it to hyperlink? the auto feature isn't working for me!
#174. To: christine (#173)
As always, I deleted the "s". 4um don't do secure linking.
kinda like the Auto-categorize feature has NEVER worked. We don't need that "feature", imo
I believe web sites have to begin with "http:" in order for auto hyperlinking to work. As I recall, programming it to auto hyperlink anything that contains a ".com" in it made too subject to hyperlinking things that were not supposed to be hyperlinks. So if you add "http://" in front of a web address, it should auto hyperlink just fine.
