The National Bar Association, the nation's largest organization of black attorneys and judges, has called for the firing of a white Texas police officer who drew his gun and slammed a black teenaged girl to the ground while responding to a complaint at a pool party. A seven-minute video shows the officer, who has been identified as McKinney police corporal Eric Casebolt, grab a teenage girl by the arm and slam her to the ground. When two people approached Casebolt, he drew his gun to chase them away. He then forced the girl face down onto the grass, placed his knees on her back and handcuffed her, the video shows. She was detained temporarily before being released, according to police. The McKinney Police Department placed Casebolt on administrative leave and launched an investigation into his actions after reviewing the video published on YouTube on Saturday. The police said that Casebolt and two other officers responded to "a disturbance involving multiple juveniles at the location, who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave." Nine additional officers later responded to the call. "McKinney Police received several additional calls related to this incident advising that juveniles were now actively fighting," police said in a statement.

VIDEO EMERGES OF VIOLENCE AT ‘INNOCENT POOL PARTY’ IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS Left media is ablaze with articles condemning the police response to a pool party at a McKinney, Texas, subdivision. Now a video is emerging showing why police were called to the scene to begin with – violence.
Maybe he shouldn't have drawn his gun. But maybe it was wise as he was being approached by two men. Who knows what they would have done.
