The host of a Texas pool party that led to the suspension of a police officer says things took a turn for the violent when a neighbor began hurling racial slurs and insults at party-goers.
A woman identified as Tatiana Rhodes, 19, said that she and some friends had organized and were enjoying the party at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool on June 5 when the conflict with a white neighbor broke out.
“This lady was saying racial slurs to some friends that came to the cookout. She was saying such things as ‘black effer’ and ‘that’s why you live in Section 8 homes,’ ” Rhodes told E. Johnson IV, a photographer who recorded the conversation and uploaded it online.
More insults were traded. One neighbor said “go back to your Section 8 home,” Rhodes said, referring to a form of federal housing assistance for low-income people.
Then, according to Rhodes, who is black, a white neighbor “came up to me and smacked me in my face.”
“That’s when both of the women attacked me,” the teen said.

"According to Rhodes, most of the kids who attended the party live in the neighborhood. LaShana Burks, Tatiana’s mother, added that the teens were classmates."
Did they go back to their Section 8 home?
This is the kind of thing that happens when you have a president and a legion of race hustlers ginning up racial hatred across the country. Rightly or wrongly, white people start to feel threatened and lash out.
So, I am sure, when the police came the pool party people calmly explained the situation, showed documentation they had permission to use the pool and politely asked the police to deal with unruly neighbors.
And that is when the police went berserk!
Nope, just one officer. Watch the video - all of the officers at the scene acted in a professional manner, calmly speaking to the people in the neighborhood and (seemingly) trying to de-escalate the situation. All of the officers, that is, except the one guy who has since been suspended from the force.
Then what was the fight that preceded the video about?
A Facebook post from a resident there ...
Facebook friends and family – 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.
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.
I am asking for your help for my family and my neighbor’s safety…PLEASE, PLEASE do not rebroadcast any of these lies.
Prison wardens know that it is easier to keep the aggression off the guards if the inmates take their aggression out on each other (over race or some other matter).
Usually, a police chief who has such an officer doesn’t allow him to leave the station house.
The house hosting the pool party probably is a section 8 home. Uncle Sam is buying them and transplanting ferals into formerly tranquil suburban neighborhoods.
One can organize a party, I suppose?
It was a privately owned pool and an a DJ in an ajoining house with no rights to the pool began tweeting that he was featuring a pool party, charging $15 admission.
Urban kids from distant neighborhoods began coming by the carfuls.
They paid right? so they felt entitled to stay though they were trepassing.
they were asked to leave because they had no connection to that pool and they started a very physical fight.
Being unarmed in a bikini does not excuse you from following certain instructions and rules.
Probably.
Freaked him out when he got there and saw that he might have to arrest a white person — when he really was hoping for a chance to shoot the “section 8” neighbors.
No, the problems started when the “effers” from their Section 8 houses showed up in the first place.
Pinging to al_c
Barack and friends sure don’t want black America to see that there was a reason they used to call Republicans friends and that this reason was not what changed.
Blacks move in whites move out.
He was suspended from the force in much the same way those cops in Baltimore were charged with murder.
Just to appease the natives.
That cop was attacked. He responded. I see nothing wrong.
It wasn’t at a house, it was at the neighborhood HOA run pool.
Info about the upcoming party was tweeted out and went exponential.
