Hundreds took to the streets in McKinney, Texas, to protest police.
At least 800 protesters took to the streets of McKinney, Texas, to express outrage over a police bust of a pool party that many saw as overly aggressive.
One police officer was placed on suspension, and protesters were demanding he be fired, NPR reported.
Some protesters carried signs that read, “Stop Police Brutality,” and “Those Kids Were My Kids,” along with the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag.
The incident, as previously reported by WND, began at a community pool when a group of teens showed up for a birthday and graduation” party. Area residents complained the music was too loud and the teens were getting out of control, and police were called to intervene.
One of the officers, Cpl. Eric Casebolt, was captured on video throwing a 15-year-old black teen girl to the ground and pressing down on her body to subdue her. He reached for his sidearm at one point, while another officer actually pulled his gun on another teen.

JMHO....the police never should've allowed any gatherings without a permit. And there should've been a BRICK WALL of support for the police officer, and against the thugs who caused the disruptions.
Why should they “get to have” such luxuries. They should belong to all of us. Reminds me of a song I really, really hate. “Signs, signs everywhere signs..... What gives you the right to keep me out and keep mother nature in..... blah, blah, blah——————”. Uh I worked for my “reward”?
“It is truly frightening how quickly the professional protestors got organized there, and how the event was used for their narrative.”
Almost as if someone deliberately set this whole thing up.
D.J? or D.O.J?
Another couple of generations of blacks are lost to the leftist ghetto. There is no saving them. I’ll be dead in 40 years, and it will only get worse. I give up on them.
“In some parts of the country, the men in blue have gotten the message. Quit policing the predominantly black neighborhoods. It’s sad but I have a hard time not understanding their plight.”
Everyone needs to wake up and get the same message. White police officers should leave rabble like this to black officers; period. If blacks think we are the problem then we should take any and all measures to remove ourselves, our money, our knowledge and our lives as far away from these people as we can get them until they realize that THEY are the problem. Only then can any progress be made. Sixty years of giving them everything has led to this. It’s time to reverse the process and let them sink or swim by the same rules the “white privileged” crowd has to live by.
The left has been experimenting with "flash mobs" for several years now. Last summer, there was at least one serious attack riot in Center City Philadelphia.
“The left wants to bring the looting, rioting, and burning to the (white) suburbs.”
I agree. At that point, however, they will be dealing with a largely armed and vigilant force that is protecting its loved ones and property. That’s a whole different scenario and one in which they will not fare well. Looting and pillaging a business is deplorable. But attacking the homes, families and loved ones of Americans is suicide. The difference will be immediately apparent to even the most mentally challenged among them.
Yeah, but in order to “level the playing field”, probably the cops should be disarmed kind of like most of them in jolly old England. Or, just have radio “problems” when calls for assistance go out for this type of “event”. And, yes, I did see more of the video that’s being edited to incite more protests. Load of BS.
“Gosh, I’m so upset.”
Me too, Grania. If you aren’t packing, start. Our grocery shopping and errand running is about to become safari-like.
Typical response.
Obama/leftists would love the headline, though.
“Innocent Teens Shot by YT while Protesting Racism”
And don’t leave out the idea of a federalized police force protecting the looters from the homeowners.
Another thing this was planned by the rioters because they had prepared signs. It is an definite attempt to destroy the police and screw the law. I totally approve drawing a weapon when threatened with dangerous civil obedience.
“Those Kids Were My Kids”
Then, where were you?
White ‘privilege’ is warmed over 60s Marxism.
“...planned by the rioters because they had prepared signs.” I think the union print shops have a standard boiler plate layout and they just have to fill in the blanks. Pretty amazing how quick these pre-printed signs can appear.
This.
The police would rather arrest ten thousand well behaved white people over a single angry and irrational black person who may or may not pull a weapon or fight him.
What folks don't realize is that cop gets the same credit for arresting a white housewife as he does arresting a thuggy gang member. Guess which one is safer for him to arrest? Police actually seek out white people to arrest now.
This will get ugly...
LOL, uh, not as long as they got busses from Dallas.
