Cop attacks unarmed black teens, threatens to shoot and arrest them for not doing as he says. Obvious notes from watching this twice: - At no point is there any violence from anyone other than a police officer. Still, the cop performs a stupid roll, a takedown, and draws a gun on children. - He repeatedly threatens children who don't understand their rights with arrest and violence even though they are by all rights free to run away and not listen to his directions. - The officer repeatedly uses vulgar language in front of children, and borderline sexually harasses an underage girl and her friends. If a civilian did the things he did, that person would be arrested for sexual assault. - The officer repeatedly bypasses all the non-black kids to chase down two black teenagers and force them onto the ground. The establishing shots and the interrogation sequences show that every white person on the scene is presumed innocent by the police officer and allowed to leave, and most of the black people there are victimized. -From reading other coverage of this event besides the video, it's clear that these kids were trespassing and the party did need to be broken up. I'm just airing that dirty laundry so that no one who sees this will attempt to defend this officer by saying that a girl deserves to be assaulted, three people deserved to be wrongly arrested, and a large group of bystanders needed their lives threatened at gunpoint. This officer has been given paid vacation and isn't currently looking at any legal charges. There is an internal police investigation, which is like asking your mother to decide whether or not you should go to prison. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mckinney-texas-officer-leave-after-wild-pool-party-video-surfaces-n371281The kid who took the video even said he was able to walk around with his camera on unnoticed, while black kids were being screamed at and abused all around him. He was white, of course. It's worth mentioning that the teenager filming the event is totally in the right. The cop clearly cherrypicked the black kids, but even if he weren't applying racist police work, the cameraman shouldn't have gotten in any trouble.

Very disturbing is all I can say. 100 percent proof here that this cop is a racist. Doesn't lay a finger on anybody that is white, and only targets the black kids. Once again, 50 percent of cops in America abuse there power, and the majority of them don't even get caught IMO.

saskabronco I read your post where you are waiting for someone to say this was not race based. I'm not saying that but a sixteen year old black kid who was there is. That cop jumping on the young girl bothers me the most. The only white people I see are the older two guys in shorts that I'm thinking live there along with the other older guy in shorts who appears to be black. Because they are older. Anyway, here is an article from cnn. www.cnn.com/2015/06/08/us/mckinney-texas-pool-video/The thing that is bothering me about all this stuff recently is the quick trigger that everything is racist. Maybe the cop is just a bully power hungry dick. He may not care what color you are. Might abuse white teens also. We don't know. But the instant racist stuff is dividing our country. So if this homeless guy was black, instantly it would be a racism thing instead of brutality thing. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Or should we just assume all white people are racist?

I get what you are saying, but in this instance it is clearly racism. There are way more white kids there than black, but the cop is running around singling out all the black kids. A white kid is walking around with a phone right in the cops face and he does nothing, but any black kid within range is screamed at or wrestled to the ground. I agree that it's not always racism,but you can't argue that this one isn't. That cop is a racist dick...

He might be racist, I don't know. But still I don't see white kids. I see a few white adults. What we haven't seen is why the police were called. It's coming out. Now if all those kids that jumped over the fence were white, do you think the cop would have acted different? Who knows. It just so happens they were black. It's just the quick trigger on everything is racist if it involves a black guy. (don't get me wrong, I don't care what color that girl was. What he did to her was a excessive.) Check this out. I know its from a conservative place, so you will probably dismiss it right away. www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/06/07/video-emerges-of-violence-at-innocent-pool-party-in-mckinney-texas/Also how do you know the camera man was a white teen? I haven't seen anything on that. Show me.

You're mistaking intentional bigotry for racism. Whether or not the cop is hateful person, pulling a gun on an unarmed black child and abusing a young black girl wearing swimwear is racist if you're white. Intentions aside, a person's actions can be racist. When banks around the country ask for loan applicants to submit their race on an online application, they may have a stated agenda for doing so, but doing that is automatically racism even if they're being fair. Racism is not about individual acts of hate, it's about institutional oppression and control. A white cop abusing black children is the end result of that system, whether or not the cop himself is a racist is irrelevant and inevitable.

Racism is not about individual acts of hate, it's about institutional oppression and control. A white cop abusing black children is the end result of that system, whether or not the cop himself is a racist is irrelevant and inevitable. I don't quite get what you are saying. So if the teens that attacked the pool security guard and patrons were white, it would be police over reaction and not racist or bigiotry right? Or if the cop was black it would just be police brutality right? This is what bothers me. No one can help the color of their skin. But every, and I mean EVERY instance that a black person is harassed or killed by a white is racism. It's becoming a huge problem. And its people that jump on the race issue and push it that make it worse. I'm trying to calm everyone down and look at both sides and the situation. It doesn't have to be "Well I'm black so the white guy discriminated against me" Does that happen? Sure. Does it happen the other way around? Absolutely.

I'm enjoying doing some research on this, and I enjoy you guys input. My main concern is the division that is going on in my country. And its being race bated over and over. Here is what is going on now. Why don't the parents take their kids home and scold them for going where they weren't invited? Why don't they teach them right from wrong? Doesn't mater what color you are. If the gate is locked you don't jump over. Why do they teach them that they deserve to do what they want no mater what? I don't get it. This protest is teaching them just that. The cop needs to be disaplined for the treatment of the young girl. But he did not "Brutally bash her head on the concrete" No one got hurt, thank God, and pulling the gun was an instinct and he put it away. He did not know what those boys had. I kind of get it. thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/06/08/3667422/thousands-protest-brutal-police-treatment-black-teens-mckinney-texas/

I as a pool person for forty two years now, have taken care of hundreds of pools like this. And let me tell you, the homeowners pay dearly every month. The HOA fees are not cheap. The pool has a lifeguard and security. There is a limit on the amount of swimmers, that is a county health department thing. At least here in Cali. You can only have so many people at one time.
So here is my analisist. The cop was a bully to the teen girl. He was rude to lots of them. He needs more training for situations like that. Or he needs to find another job.
The kids parents need to disapline them. Teach them to respect others property. The parents don't need to take them to a protest to try and justify their behavior.
The world is going nutz. Nutz I tell ya.
Edit. Sorry for the spelling. It's migraine time and I'm confused. So I'm sure you can figure out what I'm trying to spell.

I haven't seen anything on that. Show me. I already posted info on all of what you asked. It was a community pool and all kids were welcome. The police were called because there were kids from outside of the neighbourhood and a fight had just happened. You can see all the kids standing across the street and the majority of them are white. The kid who posted the video (and filmed it) is a white kid, and he has been interviewed by people. He commented on how the cop ignored anyone white and went after all the black kids. He said he could move around with his camera like he wasn't even there, but you can see the cop screaming at black kids standing near by. Also when the cop is lecturing the two boys sitting on the grass near the end he admits that everyone was doing something illegal but these boys got caught so they have to deal with the consequences. First of all, they weren't doing anything illegal and it's hard to blame kids who decide to run from cops when you see how insane this cop is. Second of all, out of a predominately white party, a group of black kids are the only ones caught? Just google the incident. All of that information is readily available by watching the video and reading articles on it.
