Meh. So much BS, so little truth.

I think there is a whole lot of lying going on on both sides.

I don't think it has anything to do with race. If it did why are some of the african-americans telling a different story. What reason do they have to lie about it?

Maybe they're just not judgmental bigots. Ask them. <shrug>

lol, right. Yeah, that's what it is. Here's a novel idea, if you want to live in a certain neighborhood, earn it. And no, I don't want to here your sob story. The price of admission is a certain amount. You can't afford it, you don't get in. It's as simple as that.

Looks like the family could be in trouble with the HOA. The HOA has said they didn't have permission to have the party and they family was in violation of HOA rules.

Not, as already posted, according to the people who actually invited the kids and, not according to the white kid who did the filming.

Please cut the BS race card crap. There are only 2 questions that need to be and answered here:


1. Where these kids parts of the neighborhood?

2. When asked to leave, did they leave?

Answer to both questions is, no. If some idiot in the neighborhood wants to invite 100 people to a pool party and causes a disturbance, the police WILL be called. If you are part of the neighborhood, you go home. If you are not you GTFO. REAL simple.

Here's a good read on the subject. Imagine that, anyone who has agreed with the police in this incident have received death threats.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/08/us/mckinney-texas-pool-video/

The 43-year-old African-American has lived in Craig Ranch, a planned community, for eight years. It's a nice place. Racially diverse. People get along there.

Thinking back on the pool party, he might have known it would be crowded. The invite to the party had earlier caught fire on Twitter and social media. Craig Ranch's strict homeowners' association rules prohibit bringing more than two guests to the pool.

So when crowds of teenagers showed up, huddling by the gate and shouting to let them in, things got out of hand. Some kids 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."

"I may or may not agree with everything that the police officer did, but I do believe he was trying to establish order. I am thankful to God that nobody got hurt," Embry said, adding that it made him feel uncomfortable to see an officer kneel on a teenager in a bikini and wave his gun at other teens.

A mother who was at the party gave a similar account. She spoke with her back to CNN's camera and didn't want to be identified, saying neighbors who vocally supported the officer had received death threats.

The officer, she said, deserves a medal.

"I want everyone to know that the Police Department was in the right and protecting everyone," she said. "He was not out of line drawing his gun, because he was being attacked."

The usual suspects on here don't care, bro. Continuing the narrative is all that matters to them. They're the ones that still believe 'hands up, don't shoot'.

Yep. They think they still have plenty of credit left on their race card.

The issue I have isn't the police being called in to break up a pool party - whatever, closed communities have that right - it's only the completely unnecessary escalation by the one officer and then pulling a gun on a bunch of unarmed kids.

The situation was under control, there were a dozen officers there - there's no need to start wrestling a teenage bikini wearing girl, kneel on her, and escalating the situation. Worse he then pulls a gun on them. Completely unwarranted considering the situation, the lack of arms, the amount of backup, the lack of any physical violence to LEO.

I'm sympathetic to LEO and the tough situations they can be put in, but this was just poor judgement, unnecessary escalation of a situation, and they're lucky it didn't go more wrong. Use your head, act like an adult, don't go on a power trip -I think we can expect more out of our LEO.

Not sure what video some of you are watching. I see a video of a cop significantly outnumbered by a riled up crowd attempting to arrest someone. While doing so two males run up to him aggressively and one has his hand behind his back moving around as if he is drawing a weapon. He is undeniably attempting with this behavior to intimidate the cop and make him feel he is about to get attacked. What would the correct response have been? He didn't shoot the guy and cops do indeed pull guns al the time in anticipation of being attacked. Watch what happens just before he pulls. What he did may not have been perfect, and the ninja roll at the beginning of the video is just straight up funny but it isn't like white cop draws gun on black girl while going for a swim.

The Real Story, Not a Racial Issue

Here we have a self-admitted black man who witnessed the whole event. Not a racial issue, but a trespasser\hooligan issue.

Since they had their shirts off, shouldn't you be talking about beating them up? Clearly they were wanting to fight right?

http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/09/us/mckinney-texas-pool-party-video/index.html

From the kid (who was white) and shot the video:

I was one of the only white people in the area when that was happening," Brandon told CNN affiliate KDAF. "You can see in part of the video where he tells us to sit down, and he kinda like skips over me and tells all my African-American friends to go sit down."

Brandon said the quarrel that drew police to the pool party didn't even involve most of the teens Casebolt was going after.

"It was a fight between a mom and girl, which had nothing to do with all the other kids," he told KDAF.

Brandon said he was unnerved to see his friend tackled and pressed to the ground.

"I think she was 'running her mouth,' and she has freedom of speech, and that was very uncalled for him to throw her to the ground," he said.


Yup, no bigotry seen here....white kid isn't harrassed while filing cops, but the black kids all get restrained and detained. And a young girl get assaulted.

Glad to see the usual bigots come in to defend cops at all costs, no matter what the facts are. Bigots are bigots.

i love how in this video when they replay it again near the very end they only show him draw and completely cut out the two seconds preceding that in which he is rushed by the two guys who are stepping up like they are about to attack.

Initially I didn't see the complete video and thought the officer went overboard by drawing his gun however, after seeing the entire video I can see he was justified based on the actions of the two guys who attempted to rush him from behind. At worst he was a little too heavy handed with the girl. Of course the media and some who have posted in this thread want to push forth a false narrative as usual.

Videos and comments are edited according to what is desired to be presented.

People will also interpret action according to what they want the rsults to be.

Armchair quarterbacking is also rampart in such situations.

Because the filming does not always show the beginning; from one video that I saw, the teens were running away from the cops. there is no indication as to why.

Totally agree. The officer was/is a hothead, but if I was on the jury, I would not convict him for pulling his firearm. What led up to him doing that is another story, though. He shouldn't be a cop and he's probably guilty of a couple crimes (or at least violations of protocol) in how he handled the situation. However, taking his gun out isn't one of them.

Remember, these are the same people that cheered when that 12 year old was murdered by police.

White witness (15 yo) who was part of the party claims it was racial.

Black resident/witness (43 yo) claims it was not racial.

Who do you believe, the 43 year old man or a 15 year old kid?

My money is on the 43 old man.
