justice4mikebrown:June 7Eric Casebolt is the McKinney officer who is seen in this video throwing a black teenage girl to the ground, shoving her face into the ground, sitting on her, and pulling a gun on two black teenage boys who came to her aid.Police were called to the pool party after a fight broke out after white adults made racist comments to the black teenagers attending the party.Officer Casebolt is a supervisor in the McKinney Texas Police Department. He has been placed on administrative leave.I saw this earlier on the news and I had a serious sit down with my family. This whole situation is ridiculous. The girl who the officer pinned to the ground and practically sat on is fourteen years old, a year older than me. Not only is that young, but she is considerably smaller than the officer himself. She couldn’t have been able to cause enough of a threat to the police officer that he had to pull on her hair, throw her to the ground, and hold a gun to her and the surrounding children while shouting and cursing at them. All I heard the young girl say was that she was in fact not going to leave the pool and that she was going to get her mother, until the officer continued to fling her around like a rag doll. Not cool, not cool at all. My main problem with this is, the police showed up due to a complaint. This all happened because someone saw a WHITE MOTHER begin fighting one of the girls. They got into a scuffle because the woman was supposedly making offensive remarks about the children who were there for a POOL PARTY!!
