Derbyshire needs to create “rules for cops.”

Kaslin,

What that lady said is spot on.

The cop lost his temper; a far cry from Ferguson & Baltimore.

From the article:

“...One of the most valuable, even-handed quotes this week was from a woman who spoke with a local TV station. Lamonica Birmingham,who is black, lives just down the street from the pool. “We pay HOA dues to use that pool,” she told a reporter. “So you can’t come out here and throw unauthorized events. I do not,however…agree with how the police officer handled the situation.” ...”

Question:

Are the rabble rousers going to go after her job like they did Benet’s?

Then the next time something like this happens, call a reporter.

One of the most unfortunate by-products of the McKinney, Texas, pool party aftermath is the lost opportunity for a constructive evaluation of police performance.

The constructive evaluation of police performance in McKenney is this: eleven officers handled the situation peacefully, using their training, and abiding by police guidelines. The situation was defused. The unruly crowd was cleared. And order was restored. The actions of one officer should not overshadow the performance of the other eleven. But it will, by those looking for any excuse to be offended.

The only racism was in the reaction to the incident. There ain’t a soul (other than perhaps Casebolt) who can say with certainty that there was any racial consideration at play in the response to a mob of teens trespassing at a private facility.

And everything in the wake of the incident has been race-baiting foolishness.

Why was all reporting done starting with the 7 minute video? What about the desperate 911 calls reporting security guards and others being assaulted by BLACK perps crashing a pool party.

Perhaps because the lamestream media did not want the truth out.

Go find the big post on this at Conservative Treehouse. They have reasonably well-documented the (almost certainly unapproved and in violation of HOA rules) party next to the pool that this mom and her daughter advertized on social media, which led directly to the pool incident.

fighting real racism is NOT the goal,

as the title of this piece assumes.

The issue is never the issue - the issue is always the revolution.

As I maintained on another thread, it is right to be concerned about excessive force, but the people who are crying the loudest about the excessive force (and their USEFUL IDIOTS even on this very forum) are the VERY people who are deliberately PUSHING these situations to the level where something is going to happen.

This is Alinsky 101, and there are too many people who don’t understand this, and even though they insist (sometimes VERY disingenously) that they don’t support the actions of the people who are exacerbating these types of issues or the people who are actually doing it, THEY ARE INDEED PERFORMING THE ROLE OF USEFUL IDIOTS TO THE ALINSKYITES.

We fully expect liberals to fall in lockstep with Alinskyites because that is all they are capable of, yet we unexpectedly get morons on FR who buy right into it. And they become Useful Idiots to them, and as such, are in league with them.

Read the real story here.. http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/06/08/the-full-story-of-the-mckinney-texas-pool-mob-inside-the-craig-ranch-subdivision/The woman who organized the event in McKinney, Texas, is a 20-year-old named Tatiana Rhodes (or Tatyana Rhodes). Rhodes had been promoting a party via Twitter under the hashtag name “Dime Piece Cookout” for approximately a month. She planned the event at a sub-division called “Craig Ranch.”

Going to be quite the fun when all the police decide to quit answering calls or even come to work.

Thanks for the link. Of course the drive-by media will never report the truth

“Imagine that. A measured grasp of two concepts at the same time— the proper concern that led residents to call police, and an equally proper wish to thoughtfully scrutinize what unfolded.

Thank you, ma’am.”

A concept clearly lacking at FR on this topic.

That photo is so “Racis!”
There is a man standing in a shadow in front of a sign and it makes him look like he is in blackface makeup.
