You're wasting your time. When it's nighttime and someone keeps saying it's daytime. It either means they are slow, stupid, or a troll. He's not interested in agreeing with you.
I can't say the cop here was racist. All I can say is that the kid who was filming this entire thing was given all access as if he was a member of the media... oh and by the way the kid was white. Maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe it isn't. I think it was much more than just a coincidence, but hey, I could be wrong.
Here's another take on this "controversy": http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-only-good-news-about-the-mckinney-pool-party-is-the-white-kids%e2%80%99-response-to-racism/ar-BBkSwx0?ocid=iehp BTW, Super Cop's lawyer was just on local TV "spinning" his side of the story. I have to admit that I fell out of my chair laughing at her "lawyerly exposition" as to his emotionally fragile state of mind at the time of the unfortunate incident. Here's another tidbit for my friends in the KKK: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/keeping-black-people-away-from-white-swimming-pools-is-an-american-tradition/ar-BBkUO6z
Yes he does get to keep his pension had he been fired he wouldn't have and as of now he can go out and get another job with any PD that will take him.
http://news.yahoo.com/mckinney-poli...pool-party-on-emotional-stress-190534788.html apparently the cop had a very hard night that only began 1-1/2 hours earlier. Honestly, he shouldn't have even been at the scene. Don't get me wrong, I'm not making excuses for the guy, because he was out of hand. I think his emotions from the first two calls were pent up and came out during the 3rd one. He just should not have been at the pool. McKinney police officer apologizes, blames aggression at pool party on emotional stress The lawyer for a McKinney, Texas police officer that has become the country’s latest exemplification of bad cop behavior on Wednesday blamed her client’s aggressive actions on emotional stress. Cpl. Eric Casebolt was captured on video last Friday evening wrestling a teenage girl to the ground and pointing his gun at two other teens while answering a disturbance call at an unruly party at a neighborhood pool in suburban Dallas. “He never intended to mistreat anyone,” his attorney, Jane Bishkin, said at a Wednesday afternoon news conference. “He apologizes to all who were offended.” Bishkin said Casebolt had worked one suicide and one attempted suicide in the hour prior to being dispatched to the pool party that reportedly involved teens fighting. “The nature of these two suicide calls took an emotional toll on Eric Casebolt,” Bishkin said at a Wednesday afternoon news conference. Cell phone video of the incident was published on Saturday and immediately went viral. By Sunday, Casebolt, a 10-year veteran, was suspended and put under investigation. On the video, teens are seen scrambling as police arrive on the scene in the upper middle class neighborhood. Casebolt, who resigned from the department on Tuesday, did not attend the news conference. Daniel Malenfont, president of the McKinney Fraternal Order of Police, said Casebolt has been receiving daily telephone and email death threats. “He's worried for his family,” Bishkin said. “He's worried that he may be followed.” On the video, Casebolt, who is white, curses at mainly black youths and shouts for them to sit on the ground. As an argument with a bikini-clad girl escalates, the officer can be heard yelling, “On your face,” as he pushes the girl to the ground. When two teenage boys rush up to where Casebolt has the girl penned to the ground, the officer draws his gun and briefly chases them. “He was only reacting to the situation and the challenges that it presented,” Bishkin said. Bishkin, the city’s patrolman of the year in 2008, was reluctant to even go to the pool melee, but “felt it was his duty to respond” once the call escalated to reports of violence. “He believed that those who fled were possible suspects,” Bishkin said. “He was not targeting minorities. In fact, he also detained a white female.” But in hindsight, Bishkin said, Casebolt acknowledges that he let his emotions get the better of him. “It was only reacting to a situation and the challenges that it presented,” Bishkin said. Bishkin said Casebolt was working the evening shift and started work at 6 p.m., about 1 hour and 15 minutes before officers were called to the Craig Ranch subdivision neighborhood pool. His first call of the night was to a suicide where a father had shot and killed himself poolside at an apartment complex in front of his family and others, Bishkin said. “Eric assisted them in securing the scene, photographing the body and collecting statements,” said Bishkin, noting that the deceased was black. “Eric also spent a considerable amount of time consoling the man’s grieving widow.” On his next call, Bishkin said Casebolt helped successfully talk a suicidal teenage girl down her parents’ roof. “Eric’s compassion during these two incidents are a testament to his character,” Bishkin said. “While police work is often dangerous, it fraught with emotions and family tragedy.” Asked by a reporter if any other officers had been on the suicide calls and at the pool melee like Casebolt, Bishkin declined to answer. “Because there's still an active investigation by the McKinney Police Department, we think it's inappropriate to comment as much as we'd like to,” she said. Social media has been a hotspot of debate regarding the case, with a number of people saying Casebolt’s resignation isn’t enough. Late Wednesday, City of McKinney spokeswoman Anna Clark said the case is still under investigation. “We won’t have details on charges until it’s complete,” Clark wrote in an email to Yahoo News. “We are investigating all allegations of criminal activity involving this incident.” Bishkip said Casebolt has received little information about the investigation. “It is his hope that by his resignation the community may start to heal,” Bishkin said.
SMH, the one cop flipped out and was overaggressive and unprofessional but the assumption that he's racist is pretty stupid.....but par for the course for some. What's funny is that you look at that situation and see a cop "harassing black people for loitering"....I think that says a lot about you and your judgement of things like this.
Please explain why only blacks were detained when they were standing side by side with their white friends who belonged to the same party. I am dying to hear you explanation. http://www.vox.com/2015/6/9/8747567/mckinney-pool-party-white-teens Sounds like you have a reality distortion bubble around you and just think racism doesn't exist at all.
If you watch the video there was a white kid among the group that got told to sit down....but keep believing that it was a race related issue. There were like 70 people there and a small group of them were "detained". The one hyped up cop was going after pretty much everyone it just so happened that most of the crowd was black so those who want to assume that he's racist simply because he's white will make that assumption instead of considering the more likely scenario that he was simply a cop that was overly hyped up and not dealing with the situation well.
SNIFF! That poor, poor fellow. I feel sooo very bad for him (not!). Now I understand everything. After all, what better way to brighten up your day than to go out and bodyslam a black (she has to be black because it's more fun that way) fourteen year old girl into the ground while kneeing her in the back? Wait! I know: Why not pull out your gun on a group of unarmed black teenagers (they have to be black because that's what makes it soooo much better) and even ARREST one on some BS charge? Wow! That's the ticket - just the pick-me-up he needed. Is this a great country or what?
If true I can understand why he possibly acted differently than he normally would -- he made multiple huge errors -- he resigned, but i'm glad the incident was filmed.
Honestly, I am inclined to believe the police officer's story unless he has a history of acting in a racist or unprofessional manner. His behavior was out of line, but none of us know whether it was a case of a guy having a bad day or if this is how he acts on the job all the time.
It doesn't surprise me that you missed it given that it would be contrary to what you were hoping to see. I have hope that one day you'll have a good take on a current event.....this clearly is not that day.
53 seconds into the video the officer orders a group of kids to the ground, one of those kids were white. Either way it doesn't really matter, the problem with the way some are looking at this story is that they are judging the out of control officer by the color of his skin....which is wrong. If the kids were mostly white and the officers were black would the assumption of racism exist? Of course not. The officer was wrong for losing his cool and blowing the situation up but we don't have to pretend that he had racist intentions simply because the man was white. He was an idiot cop that was out of control and there's no actual evidence of anything else.....except of course for racial stereotypes.
So at 53 s? That is definitely not a white person. I think you need to freeze it there. What I do see is a few white girls being ignored and a white dude with a beard just walking invisible through there. I mean, it's pretty incriminating. You have the video showing only minorities being detained, and you have multiple eye-witness testimony from both whites and blacks saying the same thing. It was clearly race based.
