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.

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.

morally and mentally ------------------------------------------ History repeats - with vengeance. Man is ignorant to his own ways, refuses to take counsel, rejects ancient wisdoms, and repeats the sins of fallen generations and civilizations. I often think about Socrates being forced to drink hemlock for speaking out against the state corruption, and the corrupted youth of his day. The Suicide of Socrates, 399 BC Socrates Socrates was 70 years old and familiar to most Athenians. His anti-democratic views had turned many in the city against him. Two of his students, Alcibiades and Critias, had twice briefly overthrown the democratic government of the city, instituting a reign of terror in which thousands of citizens were deprived of their property and either banished from the city or executed. After hearing the arguments of both Socrates and his accusers, the jury was asked to vote on his guilt. Under Athenian law the jurors did not deliberate the point. Instead, each juror registered his judgment by placing a small disk into an urn marked either "guilty" or "not guilty." Socrates was found guilty by a vote of 280 to 220. We are coming quickly to a 'Socrates' choice in this country if you speak out against homosexual perversion, the corruptness of this government and law enforcement, and a youth who now has absolute free reign and is devoid of even the meanings of morality and integrity, you may soon PAY WITH YOUR LIFE! As I've said, MOST LE are mentally SANE and decent folks. But that is changing quickly. The sane and decent folks are beginning to throw up their hands and walk away from a professions that is CRITICAL to keeping our society from diving into the abyss of anarchy. Bribes on both sides. "Just pull over here and get into my squad car ma'am and we can 'take care' of this ticket." "Man, I'll give you half of this meth if you don't bust me. It's worth about $40,000. Nobody will ever know." What happens when you take a punk and put him in a L.E. uniform? Bad, bad shit. Our society is so morally fucked up!
On a day in 399 BC the philosopher Socrates stood before a jury of 500 of his fellow Athenians accused of "refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state" and of "corrupting the youth." If found guilty; his penalty could be death. The trial took place in the heart of the city, the jurors seated on wooden benches surrounded by a crowd of spectators. Socrates' accusers (three Athenian citizens) were allotted three hours to present their case, after which, the philosopher would have three hours to defend himself.

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

Evidently this has hit a very raw nerve with White people in McKinney: they're pushing back hard against WFAA/KDFW/Dallas Morning news. The DFW news media thought that White people would roll over on this but it's blowing up in their collective faces and they are confused.

North Texas is drowning, CenTex and the Hill Country are still in drought mode, even with the recent flooding. Lakes and aquifers are still thirsty.

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.”

Eric Casebolt, whose seemingly excessive force while responding to a Friday pool party went viral over the weekend. As state and national NAACP leaders met with Police Chief Greg Conley inside the McKinney Public Safety building, a press conference was held right outside its doors Monday afternoon. Those who spoke called for the immediate firing of Casebolt, who’s been placed on administrative leave pending an internal affairs investigation into Friday’s incident. Jahi Adissa Bakari, father to a teenage girl struck by Casebolt as he was trying to hold down teen Dajerria Becton, the focus of the incident, said he was disappointed that McKinney PD didn’t have any female or black officers respond to the party. Though he “saw [officers] doing the right thing,” he said Casebolt “was out of control” and should be drug tested, then fired. “He pulled the gun out on teenagers,” he said. “I thought it was over at that point.” Another parent, Maurice Gray, whose wife and five children were at the party, said there was no sex or weed there as has been reported, according to his wife. “I really was afraid of what I saw on the video,” he said. David Lee, a Christian author, spoke most passionately in front of media. “Appalling” and “unacceptable” were how he described Casebolt’s actions, largely because they were directed at and in the presence of children, he said. “We have a rogue officer on our hands,” said Lee, a former McKinney resident. “He has to go.” But others urged people to allow due process and a full investigation before making swift judgments. Derrick Golden, pastor at Amazing Church, said, “McKinney is on watch … we believe we’re going to get the right, righteous resolve.” Bruce Miller, Christ Fellowship pastor and the lone white speaker at the press conference, said pastors have been praying and communicating – “standing together against racism … calling out city to justice, to peace and to love.” Activists are calling for all charges against teens at the party to be dropped, and for Casebolt and any other officer who “assaulted these minors” to be fired and criminally charged. /////////////////////////////////// Here comes the Baltimore/Ferguson bullshit.
