Nobody is out to degrade cops.
The stunt at the pool party deserves vilification.
It's the crazy or bad cops that always seem to get away with this kind of crap that has people upset.
No one is better equipped to cull the bad ones than the cops themselves.
What was the purpose of that funny little Batman Roll that he did at the first? Trying to add a little drama to his performance?
Unacceptable response. He should have waited for a female back up or a supervisor.
Are you kidding me with this? The gender of whomever responds to the call cannot be helped! You can't simply "wait for a 'female backup or supervisor.'" Do you have any clue how this stuff works?
That video makes me cringe that we have come so far that this kind of treatment of our children is deemed acceptable.
That video makes me cringe, to know how little respect for the law our children are taught in this country. Those kids are old enough to exercise better judgement, and delineate from right and wrong. I have no pity for kids who act up in front of police.
It's not like obnoxious loud music is a violent offense but he sure took her down as if it were.
Perhaps you should understand that it wasn't just the loud music. Kids were picking fights and destroying property. What do you want the cops to do, sit them down and hold a fucking seminar on good behavior?
Its a fucking misdemeanor offense at best. Public noise ordinance perhaps. Lol
Destruction of property? Criminal trespass? What about those?
If she is guilty of those put her in juvie. I find it hard to believe a 14 YEAR OLD GIRL IN A BIKINI was that big a threat to a FULL GROWN MAN.
Come on
Okay gramps, we will have to respectfully disagree on this one. Fair?
The cop mishandled the girl. There is no excuse for man handling a teenage girl in that manner if she poses no physical threat to you.
And if she resists a peaceful order to leave the area? He was a bit rough with her yes, but when you repeatedly ignore orders to leave the area, what other options are you giving the officer?

Cops behaving like that ass did are the reason they don't respect the cops.
The reason people don't respect cops is because of people like you vilifying everything they do.
So you think she was just being a little angel and didn't do anything to cause the officer to detain her?The cop mishandled the girl. There is no excuse for man handling a teenage girl in that manner if she poses no physical threat to you.
Your crazy, let a republican presidential candidate refuse to answer questions, like Hillary and see what happens."The Liberal Media: A pool party full of liars"
There is no 'liberal media,' it's a myth contrived by the ridiculous right.
That news organizations report facts and the truth that conflict with conservative dogma doesn't make the media 'liberal.'
As for anyone being 'liars,' put down the stones, you and others on the right live in a very large glass house.
At first glance, the picture below at a pool party in the Craig Ranch community of McKinney, Texas would show a white Austin police officer attacking a poor defenseless bikini clad and black 14 year old girl at a pool party. And that's what the liberalized media would have you believe, by encapsulating this entire incident around this one moment in time, as the epitome of the inherent racism of white cops towards black individuals.
They would be right, if not for this itty bitty little detail. This happened at a pool party sponsored by the Craigs Ranch community. Things got out of hand when cars full of uninvited teenagers began crashing this party by jumping the fence and picking fights with partygoers. The girl in question, Dajerria Becton, refused orders by Officer Casebolt to leave the area, so in my mind, she brought this on herself. Unruly kids like her need to be taught the reality and consequences of disobedience. But I will add as a caveat, he was a bit rough with her. That being said, the only other wrong thing I saw him do was draw his firearm on two boys who came up from behind.
One witness Michael Cory Quattrin, who was at the party and saw the entire thing unfold, immediately debunked this narrative, in a letter to FOX 4 KDFW's Steve Noviello:
PLEASE HELP! That (now viral) video of the officer in McKinney subduing a girl in a bathing suit was in OUR neighborhood. The situation was NOT what is being reported…
A DJ setup in a public space next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJ was tweeting out invites to a “pool party” for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood). The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down. The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with 3 young children). The first officer on the scene was by himself. At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were being very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived.
This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood’s side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. This information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies.
PLEASE HELP US STOP THE BROADCASTING OF THIS IGNORANCE. The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white’s only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE.
In concluding the letter, Quattrin revealed how dangerous the situation has gotten since then, and who is to blame for inflaming the problem:
The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend. Unfortunately, the press and social media are trying to enflame the situation.
Another Craig Ranch community resident, Benet Embry, also debunked the race narrative being played out by the media with a Facebook post:
Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had! Ya been took! Ya been hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led astray! Run amok! MediaTakeout.com posts a story showing only 7 minutes of a 30 minute ordeal, makes it racial and all the activist come a running. Look, I LIVE in this community and this ENTIRE incident is NOT racial at all. A few THUGS spoiled a COMMUNITY event by fighting, jumping over fences into a PRIVATE pool, harassing and damaging property. Not EVERYTHING is about RACE. WE have other issuses [sic] that NEED our attention other flights of made up make believe causes.
Embry, as you can see by the comments in his post, has been hit with racial epithets for speaking out. Once again, I will say office Casebolt could have handled things a little different, however, to claim he did what he did because of race is dishonest. And like in Ferguson, Casebolt's home address and phone number were leaked for all to see, subjecting him and his family to danger and death threats. (Please note that the information has been redacted, to protect Casebolt and his family.)
A lot of these kids had this coming. A lot of them should be sent to Juvie Hall for criminal trespass on private property. Make no mistake, the liberal media is at it again, gleefully twisting this incident as the latest in racism by cops against black individuals.
The Liberal Media: A pool party full of liars.
Read post 34He said news organizations, not hate machines. When they first started showing Fox news over here in Europe, people thought that it was a brilliant political satire. They were shocked to discover that it was real."The Liberal Media: A pool party full of liars"

Then by your logic Fox News must be completely fair as well.....right?
Another hate filled far left drone and their irony impaired comments.
Much of the media does lean to the left, to claim otherwise shows that one is following their far left programmed religious dogma.
Education is a problem, that speaks volumes.Liberals control a vast amount of almost anything that requires an education.
Therein lies the problem.
So? You saw a lot of police brutality and either approved of it or were afraid to say anything.When I was young we didn't call police officers cops, it was considered a degrading term. We pretty much had it in our heads if we did then an ass beating was following.
On time at a hockey game obviously someone was wanted by the police for some reason. He was white and he tried to hide by sitting in an empty seat. Well a group of cops, reminded me of the keystone cops, Find him out and an ass beating was administered as the dragged him away.
Another time we were driving on a four lane highway in the middle of the night and in the passing lane a car was stopped. There wasn't any traffic so we stopped to see if the person needed assistance. It was a black guy in a fairly nice car and he was apparently asleep. Couldn't tell if he were drunk or not. We woke him up and without saying anything he drives off, bad mistake. He runs a red light and then crashes off the side of the road. He wasn't going fast so he didn't get hurt. We stop and are walking back to the car when a police car shows up. The man made another mistake and got out of the car. The police were walking towards him and say, "you're the guy who ran the stop light," as they were drawing out their night stick. The one officer put the guy to sleep again. We left.
Another time the police were running a speed trap in the middle of the night on a road leading from a popular beach/night club area. They pulled us over and sent us down a side street to wait while they pulled others over. I was looking in the rear view mirror when I see a van hit one of the cops flash lights out of his hand. The van stops and this long hair white hippie looking dude gets out of his van and I see him walking back to the cop with his hands out stretched as if saying he was sorry and didn't see the cop. I don't believe the cop was too interested in what the guy was saying as he too drew out his night stick and sent the hippie to la la land. We quietly sat in the car awaiting out ticket.
I don't know the point of all that except that sometimes punishment was melded out on scene and if we didn't respect the police we certainly feared what would happen if we crossed the line. I am not sure that fear is present any more. And this type of punishment was melded out without regard to race color or creed.

So you get on your knees immediately for cops, or is there a slight delay?Unacceptable response. He should have waited for a female back up or a supervisor.
Are you kidding me with this? The gender of whomever responds to the call cannot be helped! You can't simply "wait for a 'female backup or supervisor.'" Do you have any clue how this stuff works?

What's wrong with this AP story on the incident, exactly?
