A Texas police officer has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation after video surfaced showing one cop pulling a gun on a crowd of teens at a pool party while others handcuffed teenage partygoers.

Police on Friday evening were called to the Craig Ranch North Community Pool in McKinney, roughly 40 miles north of Dallas. McKinney police said in a statement they were responding to a disturbance "involving multiple juveniles at the location, who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave," and that some of them were fighting.

Cop Suspended After Video Emerges Of Brutal Arrests At Teen Pool Party

What we see is the lack of professional self control resulting in escalation instead of deescalation of events. Us policing is in really bad shape. Yes, that is so powerful, taking down a bikini-wearing girl. No doubt. BTW, did anyone notice the couple of guys roaming around in the video did nothing to help the kids or calm the policeman down?

Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

A bunch of party crashers go on a rampage and people are making **** about a cop dealing with a belligerent youth.

The cop's White and the aggressor is Black? Well...that explains that! When's the looting and screams of "Black Lives Matter" going to start?
 
Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

IN the video I watched, the girl that is eventually arrested is in a group of people. The officer tells them to leave. They stay and the cop goes off to deal with others. About 90 seconds later, he returns to the group and tells them to leave again. One of the group starts mouthing off to him, but the girl leaves with others and then the entire groups starts to leave

After the group is some distance away, the girl turns around and yells something at the officer and then turns back around again to continue leaving the area. That's when the cop goes after her and takes her down.

IOW, the cop didn't go after her because she wasn't leaving; He went after her because he didn't like what she said.

Generally speaking you want to take out the instigators as you go because that usually helps maintain control. The chick was being mouthy and while I couldn't hear exactly what she was saying it probably sounded to him like she was egging the situation on. Her behavior damned sure seemed to indicate that was the case.
 
Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

So society passes laws and then hires people called law enFORCEment to enforce those laws why are people surprised when force is ultimately used? I don't know if this cop did everything properly, but Sanga says they were told to leave and didn't. That's good enough for me.

It was a black lady that hosted the event and all the kids were classmates. A white lady got mad that the black host invited so many people over. The party crashers was the white lady that told them all to go back to their section 8 houses and slapped a black girl for inviting too many black people to her event. Then the lady lied and said they werent invited. When the host of the party actually DID invite them.

She didn't instigate anything nor was she mouthy. If that was the case, there were a lot more people who were being both more mouthy and instigative.

The cop was out of control and unprofessional.

Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

Here is a quote from the kid who posted the original video of the ordeal ( who is white ) -

and here is his witness account -

“I think a bunch of white parents were angry that a bunch of black kids who don't live in the neighborhood were in the pool," said Brooks, who is white. “Everyone who was getting put on the ground was black, Mexican, Arabic. [The cop] didn't even look at me. It was kind of like I was invisible."
There's just simply no excuse for how this police officer responded to a call about a pool party.

There's really no telling the amount of police misconduct that has washed under the bridge in the course of time, but the people have a weapon now!

It's why cops are so opposed to body cameras. They know they're liars.

Often. I've witnessed police misconduct in my life, I know its widespread. Even still, I'm sure that the vast majority of police/citizen encounters are amicable, it's the cases like this that need examination. Step one has been made, the officer that perpetrated the act of excessive force has been suspended, they just need to make sure he's properly disciplined so that the right message gets around to other cops.

You mean the officer was slinging out profanity and just racially targeting one teen after another? That police officer? Who thought 2 young kids coming somewhat close to him when he assaulted a young girl for no apparent reason and then pulled a gun? After which the 2 young boys, scared to death ran away and he sent police officers chasing after them? For what? Being threatened by an over active racially abusive, verbally abusive crazy cop?

After all that has been happening I would have run and I am white. The 2 boys did not lay a hand on him and still he went dirty Harry on them and the rest of the black boys?

Sorry, but I am glad he is suspended pending an investigation and I hope the white mother who instigated the problems will be found and arrested for assaulting a minor, wasting police time and for making a false police report.

Watched the Video, cop did nothing wrong.

I think we already knew your position on that before you stated it.
 
Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

Whatever happened to talking to people first? Talking to the teens first before trying to round them up probably would've been better for all involved.

Apparently, it started with two adult white women using racial slurs against some of the black teens because they didn't like so many blacks in the swimming pool. But if the pool was reserved for a teen pool party, then why they there?

What is wrong with people, why'd the white women resort to racial slurs, is there anybody that doesn't realize what a problem we have with this already!

Think about that. Fights instigated by White woman: cop focuses exclusively on detaining Black children.
 
Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

PLENTY of cops are out of line, some of them quite often, for a fact. This case will probably go to trial, and right or wrong, that cop's career is probably at an end now.

Please expand on how you believe he was justified in pulling a weapon.

Right back at you.

I watched the video AND listened to the residents accounts of what happened prior to the Police being called out
 
Re: Cop Suspended After Arrests At Teen Pool Party

I think most Domestic Disturbance calls look like this.


They can often be the most dangerous for the officer.

If they filmed every single call that cops went on I'm sure there would be plenty for Democrats (and radical leftists in the White House) to complain about.

BTW, when did the White House become so anti-law enforcement?

When Barack Obama was elected.

Right. A couple white racist bitches slapped a minor, but the cops are arresting the black kids.

They're not anti law enforcement, they're pro constitution and expect cops to follow police conduct codes. So you'd really be ok with a cop manhandling your daughter as this youth was? What kind of parent are you??
