One resident, Benet Embry, a black man, posted on Facebook about the events leading up to the police call. “Look, I LIVE in this community and this ENTIRE incident is NOT racial at all,” Embry wrote. “A few THUGS spoiled a COMMUNITY event by fighting, jumping over fences into a PRIVATE pool, harassing and damaging property. Not EVERYTHING is about RACE. WE have other issues that NEED our attention other flights of made up make believe causes.”
In another post he is critical of media coverage of the incident. “I’ve never seen such irresponsible reporting and miss management of media resources in my life,” he said.

And I’m gonna bet that every person there either lives in that community or has a resident if the community who will say that they were their guest.
Trespassing will be hard to prove.
BTW-The 15 year old girl that was thrown to the ground by the cop, was she a resident or a guest?
Do you think the lawsuit the 15 year old girl files on the city will pay out more or less than $1,000,000?
I have no use for thuggish cops and punks with a badge. That being said I watched the full video and the girl who was thrown down and arrested was told to leave and walked off and came back. Then started out again and was told to leave and eventually got thrown down for arrest.
From what I saw this officer had a crowd surrounding him and moving in far too close with him ordering them away and then two males moved to his right rear in proximity to his weapon and was headed to moving in behind him. What were their intentions? If you can read minds then you are fine, if you can’t you have to move them out from behind you asap or face being rushed and having your own weapon used against you.
Exactly............
Trespassing will be hard to prove.
Also, to prove trespassing in Texas, you need to prove that the trespasser had notice that their presence was not authorized. If the people were invited by residents in the community, it would be very difficult to prove a trespassing case.
Per Mr Gestner, a subset of the pool kids came back Saturday —night— and vandalized property.
At night.
In Texas.
Where if the homeowner is inside his house and is in fear of their life and sees trespassers, they have the right to defend themselves and their property.
Those punks are lucky nobody shot em.
Also—
Per FB posts, moms are conceal carrying since this happened.
You don't have to wonder. Just look at what every other officer in the video was doing - calmly (but authoritatively) speaking to the people who were assembled in the vicinity of the pool, attempting to determine who was authorized to be there and who was not, and working to de-escalate a tense situation. Y'know, acting like a professional LEO.
Evidence?
By the time they get to the courthouse, the 15 year old girl will have a very best friend that lives in that community who will say that she invited her to the pool party.
It’s sad that thugs grow up thinking it’s okay to kick in the door of a person’s home and a shame no one helped them to learn manners in this particular incident. That omission just makes it more likely that they will have a learning experience at another home.
I too watched the vid and read as much as I could on this.
I agree with all y’all; that cop had people encircling him.
Not a good thing to do to a cop in that situation.
Kid was mouthing off, started walking away, then came back and started mouthing off again, at which the cop pulled her down.
Only thing the cop did wrong was lose his temper.
That barrel roll he did at the beginning of the vid was because he tripped on a tree root; its big enough to trip over.
>>Do you think the lawsuit the 15 year old girl files on the city will pay out more or less than $1,000,000?
If successful, much less.
You’ve clearly been watching too much TV, or something similarly grounded in unreality, regarding what a judgement on something like this might be worth, if you think it might be over $1MM.
“I would love to know what you would have done in that policeman’s situation.”
In my line of work, I talk to police officers on a regular basis.
They have to make fast decisions, but they need to be the right decisions.
Yeah, but other than this guy’s facebook post, is there any actual evidence of them kicking in people’s doors, stealing a truck, vandalizing cars, stealing things, etc.?
911 calls? Police reports? Photos of damaged houses/cars/etc?
The Over and Under for this case should be 275k.
With an injury and a doctor in the stand, the Over and Under moves to 335k.
Well yeah, the idea that whites and/or cops are roaming around hassling blacks who are minding their own business is absurd beyond belief. Most whites are scared to death of blacks and treat them with a kind of obsequiousness that would be insulting to normal people.
And Bengal fed white guilt.
*being, stupid autocorrect
Their bluster will backfire. Sooner or later, they'll threaten the wrong person and try to intimidate through fear someone (like myself) who reacts very negatively to folks trying to intimidate them.
Wholeheartedly agree.
