Here's a more complete video of the incident.
Texas Police Officer On Administrative Leave After Pulling Weapon On Teens During Pool Party - BuzzFeed News
It shows 2 guys, and several girls, running up to the cop while he was cuffing he girl on the ground.
Not a wise decision.
If you were a cop, how would you react if you were possibly being attacked from several directions?
Revealing page.
... one officer aggressively handcuffing and detaining teens who described themselves as bystanders, before wrestling a girl in a bathing suit to the ground and drawing his weapon on others who came to her aid. After ordering a girl to leave the area, the officer can be seen throwing her to the ground and pushing her head down. He is then seen pulling a weapon from his holster to scare off two males who had come to the girl’s aid. The officer is also shown sitting atop the girl to subdue her.
Brooks, the 15-year-old who shot the YouTube video, told BuzzFeed News many students had arrived at the end-of-school celebration at the pool on guest passes. Some had also jumped over the fence.
“I think a bunch of white parents were angry that a bunch of black kids who don’t live in the neighborhood were in the pool,” said Brooks, who is white.
Stone told BuzzFeed News that when she approached the officers to explain what had happened in the pool the cop featured in the video ordered that she be handcuffed. “I asked why I was in handcuffs and he wouldn’t tell me,” she said, adding that she was the only white person handcuffed.
Stone’s father, Donnie, soon arrived on scene and was also not given a reason as to why his 14-year-old daughter was in handcuffs. “All they would say is that she’s not arrested,” he said. “I was fixing to get really irate. I thought they were going to put me in handcuffs. I was shaking. It was very aggravating.”
Then from the PD statement:
McKinney Police later learned of a video that was taken at the scene by an unknown party. This video has raised concerns that are being investigated by the McKinney Police Department. At this time, one of the responding officers has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation.
In other words, they got caught by video and are now forced to at least mouth the words "uh, we are doing an um, investigation and shit". Without a citizen shooting video -- who got handcuffed for it -- they would have got away with it.
But let's all click our heels together three times and chant that USMB Doublethink mantra:
"Don't believe your lying eyes -- it's really Barack O'bama who's dividing this country... "
" The officer is also shown sitting atop the girl to subdue her."
He put a knee in her back, which you would have noticed had you watched the video.
standard practice to keep someone immobile.
Also, if you had watched the video, several of the teens came running up while the cop was attempting to subdue the girl, and from different directions.
As I stated before, not a wise thing to do in that situation.
Also, tho several were detained on site, only one was arrested.
"“One arrest was made of an adult male for interference with the duties of a police officer and evading arrest,” he said."
But please continue to post what the person that wrote the article claims, and ignore what is in front of your eyes.
What's "not a wise thing to do" is to whip a 16-year-old girl into the ground by her hair, to draw your weapon and unleash a torrent of profanity on kids who apparently did nothing but exist, and start ordering people around as far as where they can stand and handcuffing a 14-year-old girl because she shot a video that could get you busted for all of the above.
The number of violations Casebolt commits here probably can't even be counted. That's why he got suspended. Yet there you are, cheering him on like a good drone.
You authoritarian sycophants make me want to puke my guts out. How 'bout you grow a pair, Twinkle Toes.
I watched the video several times and was very encouraged to see something not often shown on a video. Most of the black teenagers obeyed the lawful orders of the cops and got on the ground.
I did see that mouth of the black girl going mile a minute but without the audio, I don't know what she was saying to the officer. It didn't look like she was saying 'have a nice day.' And, he took her down by a wrist lock, not her hair.
He did resign and knows he was out of control, but no one was injured and that is a good thing.
Doesn't matter what she was saying -- she can say whatever the fuck she wants. As can we all, until the jackboots grab us all by the hair and knee us in the back to shut us up.
