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.

What is the difference?
Question for you.
Putting aside the issue of whether or not this particular takedown was “excessive force” or not, to what standard of accountability should we hold these teenagers and their parents?
Do we no longer expect people to obey the lawful orders of the police to disperse? Do we excuse any incivility, any overt hostility and disrespect of authority? Is it now acceptable to resist arrest, or to attempt to interfere with the arrest of another person?
And what are we to make of the two men who moved aggressively toward the officer as he was handcuffing the girl? Is that now acceptable behavior?
Just curious.
Administrative leave is basically reassignment to a desk job. He’s still fully employed by the department, just reassigned to different tasks.
Suspension is a separation from the department — ie, a temporary firing that can be made permanent. Would be unpaid for the duration of the suspension.
Pretty big difference, IMHO.
bkmk
It seems to be mostly a government union thing.
How do you ppronounzz that? All this urban lingo takes the shizzle out of mah nizzle.
the bikini clad negress was resisting arrest.
the officer was attacked before he drew his gun
he was justified in all his action
black people both male and female must be subdued if they resist
yo nizzle, dey haz a pizzle fo 2 fix dat effdup shizzle
/s :-)
Ditto that question!
Answers anyone?
apply cloward piven to the media a la cruz?
There is going to be a public church service tonight for peace, understanding, blah blah blah.
Too many liberals are invading TX. This is just ridiculous.
Check out this twitter account and scroll down to June 6, tweets asking who is going to this twitter account’s pool party. And a picture of some of the gang that showed up, and they look exactly like the kids in the video that kept on telling the cop that they just got there and wanted to be let go. https://twitter.com/k1dmars
always collect the guns, ammo, water, etc and hide the bodies.
Sadly, no perps were dropped and assumed ambient temperature.
Ya knew there was more to the story...
I can see you're crushed that the body count was zero.
And I'll repeat. The other police officers all managed to contain the situation and end the incident without abusing their authority or drawing their weapons. So were they the bad cops or the good cops?
