[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't this guy get suspended then he resigned. Obviously he did something wrong. [/quote]

Not necessarily [/quote]

Necessarily.

"The actions of Eric Casebolt are indefensible," police Chief Greg Conley told reporters at a news conference late Tuesday afternoon, saying the officer was "out of control during the incident."

Administrative leave is not the same thing as being suspended.[/quote]

Actually, I believe it is. More importantly, the officer clearly did something wrong and what he did was "indefensible" (despite the efforts of some posters here to defend them).

Your bias may be blinding you, Jeff.

Few if any posters here defended the suspended officer's overreaction. What many posters here (myself included) were trying to say is that 1) the overreaction had more to do with the teenager's individual behavior than with some general racism, and that 2) as a general rule, the best way to avoid police overreactions is to not act as a smart ass (and, not jump over fences and be part of a group trespassing property).[/quote]

NP - is there any evidence that the girl he tackled was trespassing?  Or that she had jumped over a fence?[/quote]

Nope. But there is quite a lot of evidence that she was part of such a group (that, remember, has created enough chaos to send 12 cops over) and that she acted as a smart ass instead of just leaving the scene as requested.[/quote]

Just to be clear, are you defending the officer's actions? You seem to be providing a justification.

Not the PP but I, personally, am defending his actions. He was called to the scene by residents in the community. He sees a mob of unruly kids who are not listening and mouthing off. And he acted accordingly. All you have is the video tape; it seems that residents there are telling quite a different story. Some being interviewed are saying that this isn't the first time they've had issues with some of these kids; that the have come before, been unruly, and even engaged in sexual activity in front of some of the youngsters in the community. You might be quick to dismiss these residents claims; I'm not. I feel that more will come out down the pike and the media will quietly slink away onto the next issue with nary a apology, and move onto the next incident. And there WILL be another. At this point, seeing how activists are always on scene in a heartbeat, I'm inclined to think there is more to this all than meets the eye.[/quote]
