Police Brutality & Executions

oldngray

nowhere special
Not according to the kids and video.

Brooks, who is white, told Buzzfeed, “Everyone who was getting put on the ground was black, Mexican, Arabic. [The cop] didn’t even look at me. It was kind of like I was invisible.”

The witness was one of the kids who broke the law to trespass which makes her testimony somewhat suspect. Without more corroboration to her claims her statements are weak. Possibly she is trying to shift the blame away from herself and her friends. It seems she is using social media to try the case in the court of public opinion. I still remember many of the Ferguson "witnesses" who later admitted they lied about what they claimed they saw. For now, as always, wait for the evidence before rushing to judgement.

If you're going to refuse to see it from anyone else's perspective why even bother having the conservation.

And how do you know she was a trespasser?

conservation ; noun , the act of conserving; prevention of injury, decay, waste, or loss; preservation: conservation of wildlife; conservation of human rights.
What an insightful contribution to the discussion. Did a misspelling really confuse you so much that you couldn't follow my meaning, or do you just feel the need to chime in despite not really having anything to say?

Let's look at the facts here ; The video is only 7 mins of a 30 min event .
Keef_Cakez of Young KC on Twitter was the party promoter . She is the black woman seen fighting the white women .
Under HOA rules a resident is only allowed one guest at the pool not 70 to 100 .
It is unclear if she is even a resident in this community .
One resident Benet Embry who is black , stated that the incident had nothing to do with race .
Teens were jumping fences , attacked 2 security guards and a mother with 3 little girls . There are reports of death threats against those who were there . Also homes had their front doors kicked in , a truck was stolen and vehicles were vandalized .
And a Ferguson organizer has already planned a protest rally at 6:30pm today .

I wonder what would have happened if instead of 12 officers rushing the scene and swearing, just two would have walked up and calmly told people to disperse?

Probably nothing.

Drug test the officers involved. Test for illegal steroid use, as well.

Drug tests for everyone .

In a statement released on Sunday, the McKinney Police Department said they had responded to a disturbance involving youngsters 'who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave'.

'McKinney Police received several additional calls related to this incident advising that juveniles were now actively fighting,' it continued.

'First responding officers encountered a large crowd that refused to comply with police commands. Nine additional units responded to the scene. Officers were eventually able to gain control of the situation.'

Baba, Not surprisingly, you left out the last part of the statement put out by the McKinney PD:

McKinney Police later learned of a video that was taken at the scene by an unknown party. This video has raised concerns that are being investigated by the McKinney Police Department. At this time, one of the responding officers has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation.

Darn meddling kids and their videos!

That part has already been posted and I saw no need to repeat it .

The 15yrs old that the officer was detaining has stated ,
'Him getting fired is not enough,' she said.

'[Officers] were completely outnumbered and they were just doing the right thing when these kids were fleeing and using profanity,' one local woman said.

Photographs also showed that somebody had put up a sign at the pool over the weekend, saying: 'Thank you McKinney PD for keeping us safe.'

Although several people can be seen being detained in the video, only one 14-year-old boy was formally arrested, police said.
