McKINNEY — The McKinney police officer whose actions at a pool party disturbance last Friday went viral in a YouTube video resigned from the force on Tuesday.
"The actions of Eric Casebolt are indefensible," police Chief Greg Conley told reporters at a news conference late Tuesday afternoon, saying the officer was "out of control during the incident."
"I had 12 officers on the scene, and 11 of them performed according to their training," Conley added.
Casebolt's resignation was confirmed about one hour earlier by attorney Jane Bishkin, who told WFAA that the decision was made after a meeting with the department's internal affairs unit to review possible charges her client could face.

He went in hot, I will agree. However, his conduct while performing his duties wasn’t anything to be ashamed of, imo.
Is he a White Hispanic?
Three cops, a ton of punk kids, I disagree with the chief.
But who cares now? The chief is his boss, and somehow this is how the narrative has gone.
Good luck being a cop in that town now, chief. You've bought yourself more than a boatload of trouble. And I'll be not too sympathetic.
At some point, it appears that other officers had to restrain Casebolt.
If he had to be restrained by his fellow officers, he was out of control and the city acted in a responsible manner by asking him to resign.
I would sure be ashamed it it were me, the guy was hysterical and raving, and acting like Barney Fife.
It is best that he got out of a line of work, that he is too emotional for.
He went in hot, I will agree. However, his conduct while performing his duties wasn’t anything to be ashamed of, imo.

I agree with your as do others. It’s unfortunate that this 10-year police veteran was forced to resign after he and his family received death threats. Here is a very good analysis of the situation that occurred:

More local law enforcement will be inclined to just sit back and do the minimum as a result of this. The McKinney Police Chief is a coward that caved to the pressure from the black racist agendanistas IMHO.
“At some point, it appears that other officers had to restrain Casebolt....”

Really, when was that?
Feeding the alligator won’t end well.
Next time people won’t call the police and someone will end up dead.
Dann. I was hoping the police chief simply had issued a statement saying the officer’s actions were under review and that any outside agitators and protestor would not be tolerated.
I agree. I only saw the video once but it looked like he was being pretty gentle with the girl, purposely not treating her like the cops on “Cops” do.
He grabbed his gun when a couple of guys surprised him. I think the other cops saw what was going on better than he did and told him to hold off.
The ‘baiters are gonna bend him over and do him hard. No sympathy from me either.
Casebolt is the latest sacrifice to the mob.
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
This really looks like a staged event.
In his defense, I think he would have been just as overbearing with a white guy...
If he WANTED to provoke a crowd, he wouldn’t have needed to change anything.
I have found this:
Somebody opined on FB that the other June party she was planning is what was referred to as a “crash”. They sell tickets, so that the people who buy the tickets think they have the right to be there. Because the venues are not actually rented, the cops get called, and the cameras come out. Some of the participants think they are being bullied, because they did pay to be there, and when angers flare, it’s all on film. Next, the BGI shows up and the protests begin.
That game might work in Chicago, but I don’t see it working well in Texas.
There is also mention made by Tatyana Rhodes, “only three more weeks, Mom,” pointing to a return to Chicago. They live in both places? How?

Another comment, I think from the Treehouse someplace.
What this is is blockbusting:
This is all part of a coordinated plan.
The City of McKinney was sued by “The Inclusive Communities Project”.
http://www.inclusivecommunities.net/
http://www.colorlines.com/articles/here%E2%80%99s-housing-discrimination-suit-city-mckinney-settled
What is going on with this manufactured Soros astroturf is an updated version of old-style block busting.
The “inclusive communities project” wasn’t interested in providing affordable housing in McKinney, they specifically wanted Section 8 housing in the predominately white, higher income, west side of McKinney.
http://www.danielbesharalawfirm.com/Documents/complaint%20filed.pdf
The “inclusiveness project” specifically seeks to “working with families to seek and obtain housing in predominately non-minority areas of the Dallas metropolitan area”.
This incident with the pool and who should have access to private amenities is being created before the “inclusive” low income housing is completed and the first tenants move in.
CNN, FOX, MSNBC ABC, CBS, ABC NBC Shep Smith and Al Sharpton all disagree with you.
