If you have a problem with the officer drawing his weapon, you haven't been paying atention

Dozens of activists are calling on a Dallas-based video broadcast station to fire a black talk show host for blaming a group of mostly black teenagers for starting a fracas at a private swimming pool in McKinney, Tex. on Friday.
Benet Embry, has been accused by some for being a traitor to his race after he posted to his Facebook account to push back against what he called a false media narrative that has been crafted in the wake of the incident.
The Daily Caller confirmed with the CEO of Deep Ellum, Jedi Jantzen, that the station has received at least 25 phone calls and numerous emails and social media posts demanding Embry’s ouster. Jentzen said he has no plans to fire the host.
The outrage began with a seven-and-a-half minute video released over the weekend showing McKinney police officer Eric Casebolt throwing a 15-year-old black girl on the ground and pulling out his gun as he tried to detain a group of teenagers allegedly involved in the fracas.
But witnesses to the scene say that the video lacks context. They said that teens, many of whom did not live in Craig Ranch, began causing trouble at a concert held next to the pool. Pool-goers who do live in the neighborhood called police after some of the teens trespassed into the pool. Others were fighting. Police who first responded to the scene were reportedly unable to control the crowd of teenagers, who refused to comply.
The girl Casebolt forced to the ground said that she was not involved in any of the violence that had occurred at the pool.
The incident was portrayed in racial terms for two reasons: Casebolt is white and the neighborhood where the incident occurred, Craig Ranch, is a planned community with mostly white residents.

What did he say?
same Freepers who were strong supporters of Trayvon Martin I imagine?
Though it is a planned community, where the community members pay for it via HOA dues.
It isn’t public property any more than the local workout place’s pool is “public” except to paying members.
All these outrageous black riots and flashmobs are the result of the majority of Americans bending over backwards to make amends.
All these outrageous black riots and flashmobs are a sure sign their Day At The Fair is coming to a close and that culture is waking up to that reality. Black riots are not gaining more white sympathizers, just the opposite. Many have finally seen that bending over backwards to make amends has only empowered the worst in the black community.
No pun intended, but its always darkest before dawn.
Truth and diversity don’t mix.
Someone on Disqus sent me an new link as to what happened there. Eye witness accounts including Benet Embry’s account.
The truth sounds like hate speech to those that hate the truth.
On the WMAL site I saw an interview with the 15 year old kid that took the video. I keep seeing people say that his account of what happened supports the account that the incident started with a white woman making racial remarks and slapping a black teenager. They also say that he says the cop was being racist.
So in the interview he says he is friends with the girl that was running the party, but then he says well I have two classes with her at school. He says he walked to the pool with his two black friends and he said the security guard hassled them when the were going in telling them only two people on a hoa card. Then he says after we were in ( I assume this means he was one of the ones that just barged in past the guard) he went to the bathroom and the the racial thing went down, but he didn’t see it, his friend just told him about it. Hmmmm
Then he says they went where the fight was but it was already over and the cop came along and picked out his black friends and told them to sit down and he says the cop was only targeting black kids. Then, I had to laugh out loud because he said he “was one of the only white kids there” This kid is only backing up his friends. He doesn’t really know anything. He said there were kids running around all over the place, but then complains that they called for backup and 9 or 10 police cars came.
I believe the party was being held at the HOA's community pool and clubhouse. Residents of the community were allowed to bring up to two outside guests if they liked, but it was mainly for members of the community.
The party crashers were trespassing and causing a disturbance.
I’m really confused about the kid who took the video. He said he had two classes with the girl giving the party. He is 15. She is 20 years old.
There is a history here.
The area is a mainly white neighborhood. Blacks have been pressuring to put Section 8 housing in there.
The black teen and her mother advertised this party for almost a month. They invited all these kids over to the pool.
It’s block busting.
OK, now we step up the investigation a notch.
This mother isn’t block busting on her own initiative.

But, but some of his best friends are black and that’s all that matters.
Seems that there’s a lot of conflicting information about this situation.
Has it been confirmed that the DJ was actively (and fraudulently) promoting a “pool party” with a $15 entrance fee?
That is what I saw.
A short interview with one of the residents, the radio host, who watched the events unfold. He blames 7 “knuckleheads” for the trouble.

Yeah, in an inflamed and tense environment it doesn’t take more than a few agitators to cook off a mob and make a situation spiral out of control.

I saw the same thing.
People coming up on the cop interfering, then more trying to bum rush him.
What did Howard tell Chris?
