Only the crazy officer. The other officers diffused a situation. That poor girl will now get a nice paycheck curtesy of the McKinley Texas taxpayers for her pain, suffering, and humiliation. Chi Ching.

Sadly, that will likely be the case-along with a couple of riots and some looting for good measure RACIST COMMENT FLAGGED. What does this reinforce to lawbreakers (esp. ones of color)-break the law, disrespect police, cuss them, do not listento them-just cry racism and get a free ride! This type of thing will only get worse.

You've completely missed the point. It has been this bad for years, it just wasn't broadcast before. All of this just reinforces that there are too many out of control cops and that they should all have to wear body cams at all times while on duty.

It sounds like what you guys are in search of is the "perfect victim." I don't know how you expect that to happen, because the police are not going to show up unless someone in the immediate area is perceived to be breaking the law.

Expect more of your public servants. The idea that a teenager being kicked out of a party has a larger responsibility to behave appropriately and with respect than does a sworn officer of the law is offensive. You PPs' attempts to absolve the officer of guilt in this situation are offensive.

I'm not absolving this officer of guilt. Clearly he needs a different career.
I'm also not absolving the teens of guilt for trespassing or alleviating their parents of their responsibility to raise respectful citizens.

I see 50+ kids crashing a party they weren't invited to.
I see no parents making an effort to know what their children were doing. I know what my kids post on the internet because i make it a point to. If nothing else, for their own safety. And when they say "I'm going here" I pick up the phone and verify that they are in fact going where they say they are.

+1000.

But let's ignore all this, and scream racism instead. Much more fun!

There is nothing--NOTHING fun about "screaming racism", something someone like you refuses to understand. You have the luxury of not having to worry about racism EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. of your life. so STFU

Tell me, beautiful spirit, how exactly do you visualize me?

As someone who is glib about racism in this country.

I keep reading that a middle aged white woman instigated a physical fight, and that it's on video. The only video I've seen between a middle aged white woman and a young black woman appears to show both of them involved in some kind of disturbing tug of war. Can someone please post something that clarifies the situation? If not, then I have to assume that this is just speculation - like most of this situation appears to be.

A scary mob? It was a bunch of scattering kids--who were very clearly kids. Except for the fat, old white lady pulling hair and the fat, old white men strutting aroudndlike they had been deputized. Those people were clearly not kids. The rest though: clearly kids leaving a party.

Not clear when I watched it. Looked like Black teens and older. Which are very capable of being a scary mob.

FTFY

Not what I typed. You "fixing" my post in that way says more about you than me.

As I read this thread, and the details of this encounter remain rather murky, so who knows, but people seem to be claiming the older woman "started it" by making racially offensive comments. Obviously, most of us teach our children to "use their words" but there does seem to be a contingent that endorses other approaches in response to such comments. Again, who knows how it really went down, I suspect no one other than those who were there will, now that it has become an Internet "thing"

A scary mob? So if it had been a frat party full of drunk white guys would that have been a scary mob too? Cause I'm sure the police visit frat parties all the time, yet you never hear of them handling the situation like this.

Why are people lying?? It was a white resident that said it. The black man in the video is a parent of one of the kids who wa assaulted by the officer.

Benet Embry, a 43-year-old black resident, saw things differently.

Embry has lived at Craig Ranch, a planned community in McKinney, for eight years. He said it's a nice place. Racially diverse. People get along there.

He said when was at the community pool Friday, a crowd of teenagers showed up -- even though Craig Ranch's strict homeowners' association rules prohibit bringing more than two guests to the pool.

The teens huddled by the gate and shouted to let them in. Some jumped over the fence, Embry said. A security guard tried to get them to leave but was outnumbered, so the guard called police.

"Let me reiterate, the neighbors or the neighborhood did not call the police because this was an African-American party or whatever the situation is," he said. "This was not a racially motivated event -- at all. This whole thing is being blown completely out of proportion."

Embry did say he was disturbed to see the officer kneel on top of the bikini-clad girl and wave his gun and other teens.

"I may or may not agree with everything that the police officer did, but I do believe he was trying to establish order," he said.

No one disputes that the police should have been called, but it was that one police officer that was out of line. His colleagues seemed to be trying to deescalate the situation whereas he was running around, yelling at the black kids and at one point took out his gun. He deserves to be suspended.

In addition, the girl is a party planner, and was using this event to promote her business

Yet no one here wants to hold them accountable because they were black. Which is why they knew they could get away with it. And when a black man stands up to defend his neighborhood and the officers, he's shouted down as a liar. The inability of people not to see this objectively is astounding.

You saw a video. Is that the whole story? The word 'seem' in your posts implies it's not.
