he outrage was immediate. After a video surfaced of a chaotic confrontation between teens and police at a community pool in Texas, calls for the officer's dismissal were swift and loud...
The approximately seven-minute video shows officers trying to gain control of a group of teenagers at the pool.
A few minutes into the video, an officer throws a 14-year-old girl wearing a bikini to the ground and shoves her head down.
Two teenage boys approach; the officer pulls out his gun and chases them away. He then grabs the girl's arm as he re-holsters his gun.

Watch the video again. Two teens (one rather good sized) charged the officer before he drew his weapon. Got news for you... teens (thugs) kill folks every day. Some may be innocent... some, not so much.
The girl, BTW, was one involved in the original fight.
they just came from the library where they had a study-a-thon to prepare for the SATs, church was next on the list of activities after a quiet visit to the neighborhood pool. Meanwhile at home, Dad and Mom were talking about how happy they were to have such a wonderful, successful family and what they would do for Father’s Day in two weekends. Right?
I have watched this video numerous times and don’t see what the officer did wrong!!!
Truth is not important these days, only fortifying the leftist, race whore agenda.
The punks should be glad someone called police. It could have escalated to a stand your ground situation.
Had these thugs started running through my neighborhood like they did there, you would have seen my guns too.
This needs to getc messaged everywhere.
Just imagine what could have happened if one of the locals had followed Joe Biden’s advice and fired off a shotgun blast...
I watched part of the vid and my first thought was -
if this is a “pool party”, what are all these “teens” doing out in the street?
I watched both videos and nowhere did I see that policeman’s knee on the girl’s head as reported on Good Morning America today. It’s sickening the way they are reporting this. My first reaction to the videos was shock at how the kids were doing exactly what they wanted to do without regard to what the officer was telling them. Absolutely no respect for authority (just like in the schools).
If you watch the video, the two jackasses who come running up and threatening the cops are not 14 yo, they appear to be at least 18-19 and they aren’t in swim suits either. The cop drew his weapon when the guy looked like he was going to bum rush him and in the next instant as the guy runs the cop again holsters his weapon.
Fox attempted to redeem itself on the morning show by noting that the local residents and those who called in the cops pretty much back the officers.
I hope what you’re saying is each case needs to be considered individually....I do not have a knee jerk reaction against cops, usually I give them the benefit of the doubt.
But there ARE times when certain cops do not appear to deserve that benefit. The Carolina officer who shot a fleeing man in the back....or the two Florida cops who smashed a man’s face into cement (he posed no threat—they later said the man was “escorted to the ground”) come to mind.
This is NOT the case in McKinney Texas. The punks deserved to be arrested....The media in Florida is now complaining that police pulled a gun on “UNARMED TEENS”. Disgusting yellow journalism.
Maybe it’s time for a civil lawsuit of slander against the reporters, the stations, etc...
I bet when you start garnishing their wages, then maybe they will be a little more careful about their reporting.
Anyway if this is the case, then the neighborhood needs to lawyer up.
1) First file a civil lawsuit against the DJ to make their case
2) File a lawsuit against the reporters, the stations, CNN, NBC, etc and all the rest of lying rats that are trying to tell half truths and stir up race wars.
If the rats in media are reporting half truths, then the neighbors have an easy lawsuit for slander.
Nope. Three cops surrounded by a hostile bunch of punks disobeying lawful orders means the cop gets the benefit of the doubt.
“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.”
Where’s the Neighborhood Watch?
Oh...there is no Neighborhood Watch.
Nevermind.
I see’d what you did there.
True. But if it will hurt their financial bottom line and if it hurts bad enough, corporate will demand they change course for economic survival if nothing else.
But you gotta watch it to see that.
I suppose but until we find out what actually happened to John Kerry, we need something to talk about.
