A police officer in McKinney, Texas, has been suspended from duties after being filmed aggressively handcuffing, and then pulling a weapon on, a group of black teens following an “incident” at a local pool party on Friday night.

” the other two cops who raced in and HELD BACK the stupid cop when he pulled his gun. “
?
the two cops came in to assist him. One followed his instructions to go chase the dude that had been most aggressive. he did so and brought him back. Notice that the officer never holsters his weapon till later.
It is obvious the other two cops were not concerned about the drawn weapon.
“It is probably why his fellow officers basically removed him from the fracas with the girl”
You made that up. Both the cops came and followed the instructions of the guy with the gun. He continued as the lead and instructed one of the others to chase down the most aggressive dude, which he did.
As one can see in the video, the cop continued to restrain the girl and is alone in the video.
I am not defending the cop just showing that you have not seen reality.
“It is probably why his fellow officers basically removed him from the fracas with the girl,”
Watch the VIDEO!
Both the other cops left him alone with the girl while they pursued the aggressive male that ran when the gun was drawn.
This story does not make sense. Black people are afraid of water. /s
I’m not making assumptions on this particular case. I am saying that generally if a mob starts moving toward a cop to take up for the one being arrested, that cop would be dub not to be prepared.
Yes, the cop in this instance probably “acted stupidly” and from the still pics I saw it looked like a girl he was arresting could have gotten his gun if he hadn’t pulled it, because of the way he detained her.
OK you win the cop should have just took the whoopin. :-)
” He single-handedly unnecessarily escalated the tension around there. If that had been someplace like Baltimore or some other leftist ghetto craphole he could have started a riot. “
Somewhere along the line you lost me. There WERE riots in Baltimore and no guns drawn. Perhaps if guns were drawn, the riots would never have happened.
I repeat: WATCH THE VIDEO. Or are you afraid to?
“I repeat: WATCH THE VIDEO. Or are you afraid to? “
I watched the video and posted to you your false interpretation.
Crickets.
WHEN you listen to the video, tell me how kids are supposed to respect an adult who uses that kind of language to teens. The F word, the GD word, and plenty more.
” I’d have been hard-pressed to resist giving him what he so clearly deserved — a good square kick in the ass. “
LOL! From behind the keyboard ...
“WHEN you listen to the video, tell me how kids are supposed to respect an adult who uses that kind of language to teens. The F word, the GD word, and plenty more. “
I agree however maybe he was using the only language these kids know.
An old military buddy, who is now a Dallas PD Sgt, sent me a video of this earlier this morning.
He ALWAYS defends cops, but said this one guy was out of control. Notice that most of the other cops stay clear of him.
I’ll also note that he was bitching about having to run around in the Texas heat with 30 lbs of gear. It sounds to me like he needs a new job.
“Crickets — okay, here’s my response to lurkers. DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. Watch the video. “
You said the two officers removed him from the girl.
The video shows that the two officers left him alone with the girl.
Step up like a man and admit you posted wrongly.
...where even this cops fellow officers, who in the video look like decent cops trying to do their job RIGHT, are clearly disgusted with this MORON cop's ludicrous over-reaction.
That's just what my buddy told me. See comment 35.
” Notice that most of the other cops stay clear of him.”
I saw that two came to his aid when he was surrounded and two then went and captured the aggressive male in the video.
Hey I agree. Cops should just wait and see whats going to happen and then deal with it. Teenagers like to horse around. Maybe he would not have gotten jumped if he had just kept is weapon holstered. I guess he just wasn’t willing to chance it.
Also, rewatching the video, I see that I was WRONG in thinking one of the cops was un-handcuffing the teenage girl that the moron cop went out of his way to go get and drag back, sadly, the second cop was handcuffing her instead. As for the cops coming to restrain the cop when he pulled his gun -- not quite, but the immediate body language says that at least one of them was approaching it that way, the one GOOD cop I see there (not two, as I thought before, just ONE). Notice that virtually ALL of kids called the cops "sir" when addressing them.
Regarding the girl, the moron cop was very clearly the physical aggressor, not the girl that he manhandled, whereas you can see the other cops pretty gently handling the kids who they'd just brought back, the two kids who had challenged the cop after seeing him manhandle a girl and shove her into the concrete, and provoked him to pull his gun, at which they wisely ran. But excuse me, ANY red-blooded American boy worth his salt would have come to that girl's defense. God bless them.
The moron cop was hysterical and deranged, and exhibited far worse behavior than any of the kids I see on the video.
