[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really appreciate the police officer and the chief of police stating unequivocally that the police officer's actions were wrong.  I also appreciate the police officer apologizing.

I think we need to put the facts into perspective here.

There were 11 or 10 other officers who responded to the scene. The chief also said that those officers acted appropriately.

We are discussing the bad actions on ONE(1) officer, who apologized, and resigned, and whose chief appologized.

Let's not extrapolate one person's actions on one occasion to our entire nation of 320,000,000 people (give or take a few million).[/quote]

+1.  My problem is that there are people on here STILL defending the officer's actions even after all that you mentioned.  You know, I could even deal with someone saying "SOME of the teens were in the wrong, but this officer was out of control."  But for whatever reason, people are STILL clinging to the thought that the ONLY officer who acted like this was acting approprately.  It is baffling.  Seriously. [/quote]

My problem is that there are people on here STILL defending the teen's actions. You know, I could even deal with someone saying "the officer was obviously not in control but the teens need to have consequences because what they did was wrong." But for whatever reason, people are STILL clinging to the thought that teens will be teens and the only reason they were called to the pools is because the teens were black not because they were out of control.

But the kids weren't out of control. The girl was asked to leave and she was leaving. Making a smart ass comment is not out of control. It's disrespectful, sure, but I actually do not believe that the girl was out of line when instructed by an officer to "get your asses out of here." If a cop said that to me, I would also make a smart remark. She was following his (crude) instructions to leave and he prevented her from doing that.

The actions of the teens before this officer arrived on the scene are not at issue, nor is it clear what exactly was going on at that time. What IS clear is that Casebolt arrived on the scene agitated and his behavior escalated from there. Your repeated attempts to make this about the teenagers are off base.[/quote]

Why can this be true Casebolt arrived on the scene agitated and his behavior aescalated for there... .AND

the teens were out of control, they created a mob situation, they were running from the police, a menace to the neighborhood, were running up behind a cop who  was trying to arrest somebody, and were resisting arrest.

Why can't both be true.. why is it one or the other?[/quote]
