Caught On Tape: Cop Pulls Gun On 2 Kids, Unleashes Profanity-Laden Tirade In Affluent Suburb

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

True statement. But that instinctive flame to be free has gone out for so many people, not only in America but across the world.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

In Baltimore, the same agitators who raised hell in Ferguson were bused into Baltimore.

Texas Pool Party Update: Teens And Residents Speak Out

Days after a dramatic video surfaced of a Texas police officer pulling a gun and screaming at young people at a community pool, the teenage girl he forced to the ground has spoken out. So have local residents who back the police.

The officer who briefly pulled a gun and then held the teenager on the ground — at one point by kneeling on her back — has been identified as Cpl. Eric Casebolt. He has been put on leave, but the video record of him shouting profanities and ordering swimsuit-clad youths to get on the ground has renewed a broader conversation over the proper use of police force and the dynamics of race in America.

The teenage girl who was pushed to the ground and briefly detained is black; Casebolt is white. Many critics of the police action at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool say that black teens at the outdoor party were targeted.

"Everything could've been solved way better than what it was," says Tatiana Rhodes, 19, who tells local TV news WFAA that she organized the party along with her mother and sister. "I mean, there were other officers that were actually nice to people."

Rhodes and her sister, 15, say that they can't stop thinking about the incident; her sister calls it "horrific."

ADVISORY: This video contains profanity and violence.

McKinney's police department says it took at least 10 units to calm the scene at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool, and that the first officers arrived around 7:15 p.m. local time Friday. They were answering residents' concerns about "multiple juveniles at the location, who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave," the department said Sunday.

The teenager, whose age was initially reported as 14 and has since been listed as 15, spoke to local Fox 4 News, saying of the officer who grabbed her, "He told me to keep walking, and I kept walking. And then, I'm guessing he thought we were saying rude stuff to him."

She described how her arm had been twisted around her back, how her hair had been pulled and how her back hurt. She added, "Him getting fired is not enough."

But some homeowners who live near the pool have backed the police in the matter. Fox 4 reports that someone put up a sign at the pool Sunday thanking the officers for their work. The station also spoke to a woman who didn't want to be identified on camera.

"They were just doing the right thing when these kids were fleeing and using profanity and threatening security guards," the white resident says of the police.

On Sunday, McKinney Police Chief Greg Conley said:

"A formal investigation into the incident has been started, and the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation.
"The McKinney Police Department is committed to treating all persons fairly under the law. We are committed to preserving the peace and safety of our community for all of our citizens."

At a news conference Sunday, Conley refused to discuss what one questioner called a history of racial tension in McKinney.

This background about the town comes from the Dallas Morning News:

"McKinney attracted national attention in 2004 after the Police Department's tactics were called into question by the U.S. Department of Justice. Racial tensions between police and residents in an east-side neighborhood escalated following four execution-style slayings earlier in the year.
"About 75 percent of McKinney residents are white, and about 10 percent are black, according to 2010 census data."

Local radio show host Benét Embry, who is black and lives in McKinney, tells the Morning News that the community "is not a racist neighborhood" and that it's "unfortunate that an event like this brings the spotlight."

Embry also says that police who responded to calls of a disturbance at the pool did their best to restore order — and that a small number of kids were "acting the fool."

Another view comes from Michael Corey Quattrin, who wrote a post on Facebook that has been shared tens of thousands of times since it was posted Sunday night. Quattrin, who says he lives in the neighborhood, believes the incident is being misrepresented.

Quattrin says that both black and white teenagers from outside the neighborhood were drawn to the party by tweets, and that led to a scene that prompted residents to call police.

"The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool," he says. "Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene."

The McKinney Police Department has been slow to provide details about Casebolt, and a LinkedIn profile in his name has been deleted. According to the Morning News, before it was removed, Casebolt's profile described him as a Navy veteran and former highway patrolman who joined the McKinney police force in the summer of 2005.

Quattrin did a terrific job of reporting, but it's to no avail. This is a perfect opportunity for darks to advance their agenda, and they will thx to ignorance & white guilt.

It just struck me that whenever you are having a Pool-Party, and have a need for security officers, something is way, way wrong somewhere.

If I got caught up in a swirling crowd of chimping 'groids I damn sure would have my pistol out and be trying to back away from it all, I'm no fool and I like living. Cop had more balls than I would to wade into that mess.

If I lived in Craig Ranch I'd be super-pissed that those little thugs made their way into my neighborhood. The people who live there are PAYING to be in a rarified atmosphere.

Sounds like they need to splurge on some additional security to keep their air properly filtered.

School, funerals, anti-violence rallies, awards ceremonies...is there some common denominator to spontaneous yet guaranteed mayhem?

The Alpha chimp gets in the wind when the cop's gun comes out, so the desired result was achieved w/o undue violence. Of course some people would prefer a cop never unholster his gun but they have never been chimped.

We should take up a collection to buy those folks some Chuck E Cheese gift certificates, dine-in only.

I would have cracked her upside the head for not respecting my authortie, which is like reason #3 I'm not a cop.

There's all the evidence we could need. It even looks like he's got a gun back there.

He had me with the badge. Of course I'm wholly in favor of redemptive force in the face of miscreants. Should be legal.

Wasn't orchestrated or organized, just mean Blacks forcing their way into a private pool party (tweeted by naive White kids) that sucked them in.

It does however bring on a new dimension to why Texans are not comfortable with J.Helm.

Its too quickly developing and too far away from the northeast to bring in outside instigators, just locals, that we know of ..

I'd probably land the role of the nerdy black man which would be fine until I had to look the part, then a rich relative would burst in with a super gift.....

I have a friend who was actually moving from Ca to Houston when katrina hit. She had some epic stories and thought they were literally going to die that day.
