On Friday McKinney police officer Eric Casebolt was called in to assist at an out of control pool party at a local subdivision.
Officer Casebolt was filmed throwing a bikini-clad black girl on the ground, twisting her arm and pulling his gun on the crowd.
Casebolt has since been suspended. The incident is under investigation.
Now here’s the rest of the story…
On Monday a local wrote in to Steve Noviello to tell the rest of the story.
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.
On Sunday a far left group posted the home address and phone number of McKinner officer Eric Casebolt online.
The group also threatened violence.

Too often the local on site reporter has been given a story line to flesh out with interviews and commentary. They can be oblivious to any take other than that superimposed on them by their director. They are not reporters. They are regurgitaters.
Post, or stump?
I just had the misfortune to have eaten at a restaurant that had CNN on. They were looping the video where the officer took the girl to the ground. They must have had a dozen people commenting on the video. I am sure they are still looping the video and will continue do so until someone comes forward to report that Ted Cruz was caught running in the hall in the third grade. Subsequently there will be a 2 hour special where experts will describe how such aberant behavior inevitably leads to violent, disturbing behavior in later years.
I think it was pretty clear that the party was rambumctous and was getting out of hand. But of all the officers who responded to the call, all except one managed to control the situation without manhandling suspects and all but one saw no need to draw their firearm. So the criticism is justified. The officer in question panicked, acted in a non-professional manner, and could very well have un-done the work that the competent officers had done and might have placed their safety in danger.
My larger point is to call attention to the ever increasing amount of fluff that dominates the news cycle.
Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death” is a must read.
a promotion company called ttwinzz promotions
allegedly hired the DJ.

Is that because the “officer in question” had NEVER, EVER heard of the actions in Baltimore? or Ferguson? or the “hits” in NYC?
Yeah, he was wrong to draw-down on two aggressive men angrily approaching him...yep, cracker po-po went home to his family that night instead of the hospital and that be wrong.
Rule 308 is a permanent fix to stupidity and then there’s thermal house cleaning for facilities that harbor certified dunderheads.
Get the desired story out as sensationally as possible.
When the true story comes out, put the retraction on page 16 or give it 10 seconds in the weekend night time "news".
Capitalize on the riots and sob stories even after the truth has come out, they sell more commercials.
Use the rationale that "It would have happened anyway" when their integrity is challenged.
I think we're reaching a situation where parents are going to have to tell their children to not invite blacks to their social events. They're too likely to bring some thugs with them.
Or potentially made worse through excessive use of force. As I said earlier none of the other police officers saw the need to body-slam 14 year old girls on the ground or draw their weapon on unarmed teens. So is your contention that they were the ones derelict in their duties or acting in a reckless manner? Or was it the officer in question?

Which might lead to calling the police who may bring their own thugs as well.
Disappointed that he didn't shoot everyone in sight are we?
I saw no abuse.

He’s on administrative leave, not suspended. The media sources that reported the “suspension” meme surely know this to be a lie, but are repeating it nonetheless.
When ever you see a reporter in public loudly call them a liar. It will stick in some minds.
There you go tossing around facts and such...
I blame the girl and the DJ. You can’t do these things and pull off public parties like this without planning and coordination for events and security. One security guard saw things getting out of hand and called LEO. Did the one guy act improperly? Maybe. But maybe not, too.
Anyway, she had a duty to find out HOA policies and provide adult supervision. People would have automatically behaved better....or have been ushered out.
