Attending a Pool Party While Black

[marmar]

WASHINGTON -- When Miles Jai Thomas arrived at a party at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool in McKinney, Texas, on Friday night, the pool was open to everyone -- until a security guard showed up and removed black partygoers from the area.

“Then he started making up rules to keep us out,” Thomas, 15, told The Huffington Post.

A white woman at the pool started making racist comments, Thomas said, such as telling black teens at the party to get used to the bars outside the pool because that’s all they were going to see.

Grace Stone, 14, who is white, told BuzzFeed News that she and friends objected to an adult woman making racist comments to other teens at the party and that the woman turned violent. ...................(more)

I wasn't there but it sure looks like a caucasion rascist reaction .

I'd feel terrible if this happened in my neighborhood.

128. Play sports, but

that is honestly all I can think of to try to answer your question. Suburban white Americans love black athletes in high school and on up through college and pro....unless they start dating a white girl, then it's special PTA meetings and hoopla over nothing. So, sports, but even that is iffy. That's the only thing I can come up with.

It's a damn shame. Black kids don't stand a chance. I hope most of them can sue, but especially the girl in the swim suit. She was very obviously unarmed and not a threat. So were the other kids in the video. They were just kids who wanted to join a party they heard about, but she got really roughed up and kneed in the back. That had to have hurt. The guy the other two cops brought back had blood in his mouth.

134. Fuck, we can't walk; we can't talk; we can't question why...

8. Did you notice how those two cops arrested the commander on site for assault with a deadly weapon?

Neither did I.

More evidence to dispel the myth of the good cop. There was not a single good cop on site, else the cop who flagrantly and blatantly committed assault with a deadly weapon (a felony) on unarmed teenagers would have been the only person in handcuffs.

[Earth_First]

22. THIS.

This.This.This.

Anyone who attempts to play the 'good cop' card is a cop fluffing apologist.

There isn't a SINGLE good cop that's been on patrol for longer than one shift who isn't complicit in this corruption!

The day I begin reading LBN stating that a cop has officially reported misconduct/assault by a fellow officer on a detained citizen is the day MY attitude on the subject will change.

Until then, I few EVERY cop with trust that is reluctantly placed in their authority to protect and serve...

[qwlauren35]

110. In fiction...

the good cops who rat on the bad cops get killed.

I have a memory about a story (FICTION) I read where there was a woman cop who refused to "play nice". One night the other cops invited her to hang out with them. She thought it was a breakthrough. Instead they drugged her, raped her and beat her to death. There were cops who didn't participate, but they kept quiet.

I have no idea what pressure cops may be under to keep quiet about the nastiness of other cops. But I think it runs very, very deep.

When the death of Freddie Gray was inciting Baltimore, I talked to a cop's wife and she was very non-committal. I then talked to a Congresswoman, and she was very calm. She said "you have to change the culture of policing so that it's safe to identify bad cops".

I think that is what Loretta Lynch is trying to do. But it will be a while before we see results, and in the meantime, more people will die.

“So a cop yelled 'get those motherfuckers' and they chased [us] with guns out. That's why in the video I started running,” Thomas said.

"I was scared because all I could think was, 'Don't shoot me,'" he said.

[treestar]

10. Sounds like the white racist woman punched

a 19 year old black girl. So the police should have been looking for that white older woman. She's the one who broke the law.

[sheshe2]

78. She is just a child.

133. I hope she can sue and win.

That cop was out of control and escalated a situation that could have been handled just by talking to the kids to get their side of what happened.

96. Behold 4 centuries of white male supremacy, all in one photo. - nt

[jwirr]

12. This whole situation is a very sick situation. According to another post the

cop in this has moved out of his house and the town. Racism in definitely a part of this. Add another stupid reason for harassing black youth.

[gwheezie]

15. The other cops should have arrested him

You can see some of the other cops are trying not to be assholes. The one guy was telling the kids just don't run from the police and the other uncuffed the girl. And they weren't all threatening and cursing but that one guy was totally out of control, escalated the situation and endangered the lives of people. The other cops should have restrained him. Maybe they were afraid he'd shoot them.

[MohRokTah]

16. Those other cops are what's known as "bad cops".

They failed to arrest the cop who blatantly committed a felony right in front of them.

That makes them bad cops.

[gollygee]

17. That's the training they need, and the environment that needs to exist

That when you see one cop doing something wrong, you step in and take control of the situation. But instead we have the blue wall of silence.

[hedgehog]

28. This is exactly right. Give the cops the right training, and they'll

know what to do. It's like giving anti-bullying training in schools --it gives bystanders who know it is wrong the tools to react.

[Jamastiene]

131. They might have been afraid.

He is definitely someone I wouldn't trust with a gun or any other kind of weapon. He escalated a situation that could have been easily handled by just asking the kids what happened and getting witness statements. That one cop didn't need to do that roll he did in the beginning of the video and set off chasing kids like that. I'd run from someone in that kind of hyped up, angry frame of mind too. It's only natural to want to run from someone who seems to have a chip on their shoulder and seems awfully out of control. The other cops seemed to be trying to be halfway decent, at least, but you are right. If they could have gotten him under control, none of that would have happened, most likely.

[tblue37]

155. He tripped over that tree root, which is why he rolled, BUT I bet he was

embarrassed about it, and that just amped up his anger and his need to dominate and punish the kids who witnessed his embarrassment.

[tblue37]

153. He was the ranking officer there. No doubt that was a factor, too. nt

That cop was out of control. Not sure if I have ever seen a cop so out of control before.

[tblue37]

156. Maybe that is the security guard from the pool (??). nt

[IronLionZion]

151. If those people don't get arrested

it excuses and encourages more of this violent abusive behavior.

40. On another note: Thankyou MIRT for cleaning up the two spills in this aisle, don't know....

what they said but I know from my time on MIRT and seeing what this topic was about I KNOW it was awful and totally racist.

[JustAnotherGen]

41. I'll take the hide

I hope that mother fucker doesn't choke on hs food tonight. Fucking monster.

And if that woman punched someone in their face - I want a perp walk. She probably beats her husband and kids - that type always does.

100. May I proudly join you? - nt

[JustAnotherGen]

123. Yes you may

And see above - where the guy who hasn't even attempted to look at the video missed the part where the heavy set white woman punched the 19 year old.

It's on the Vine link.

Should I just ignore him - or play him like a fiddle?

[phil89]

121. Provide evidence that one

of the kids was punched please.

[yardwork]

146. There's a video. I watched it.

Google it. The Washington Post links it in their front page article. The large blonde woman attacks two smaller black female teens. She's got them by the hair and jerking their heads around, then she starts punching them.

If I was the mother of those girls I would be preparing a big lawsuit. Epic.

[uppityperson]

42. Thanks for the link, it shows the precipitating incident on video

I can't figure out how to put it here, but it's at the link. Shame on that woman and the cops.

[Joe Chi Minh]

43. Will it be possible to sue the racist trouble-makers?

[uponit7771]

45. That was a gun the LEO had in his hand when he did the barrel roll in the beginning of the vid

[Blue_In_AK]

66. Yeah, the barrel roll.

It looked like he'd been practicing that move for a while, waiting for the opportunity to employ it. He must have felt like a real he-man. Dirty Harry.

[uponit7771]

75. +1, I thought it was a spoof vid or something... the cop is wearing white socks like Blart Cop or

...something

[yardwork]

147. Yeah, real Rambo move. He must be so proud.

Then he beat up a little girl.

[Thespian2]

46. Hard to watch

how terrible much of America has become...because...cops, and cops with guns...

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

47. Geesh

I hope the woman who was making the racist comments gets outed and if she turned violent, I hope she gets arrested.

And the cop used way too much force, and deserves strong disciplinary action or getting fired, imo. Looks like this is another instance of cops needing training.

Whether or not the kids were supposed to be at the pool is questionable. Private neighborhood pools aren't open to the public, and I've read that they weren't supposed to be there which is why the cops kept telling them to leave.

I would bet that a couple of the kids lived in the neighborhood and invited their friends over not realizing they could only invite a limited number of guests. Our family can only invite four guests at a time - up from three a few years ago.

[MohRokTah]

49. The kids had guest passes for a birthday party at the pool. eom

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

55. According to the police statement, they weren't supposed to be there.

I don't know of any community pool around here that lets anyone invite so many guests. Someone probably invited too many guests and the kids thought they had a right to be there.

[MohRokTah]

56. Cops lie.

Anything a cop says is a lie until proved otherwise.

[gollygee]

59. A community pool that sells birthday party sessions

but maybe it didn't occur to them that a bunch of black people would be invited to one of the parties.

[uponit7771]

61. Right... those neighborhoods in DFW are usually racially mixed too.. that's what's crazy, the kids

... out right saw the racism because mostly or only black and Hispanic kids were told to sit down while the white guy in the Brown shirt was walking through the scene grabbing at kids.

Disgusting

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

65. My neighborhood in the Houston area is extremely mixed

but McKinney is not. It's only about eleven percent black, which is why I figured that many African American kids probably didn't all live in that neighborhood.

However, if the pool does "sell" birthday sessions, then they would have had a right to be there as guests.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

62. I don't know of any community pool that "sells" birthday party sessions

Last edited Sun Jun 7, 2015, 09:37 PM - Edit history (1)

You can't rent the pool and hire your own lifeguards in every neighborhood I've lived in, but we could never have more than 3 or 4 guests when the pool was open to the neighborhood.

If this pool does sell birthday party sessions, and all the kids were invited, then they would have had a right to be there. If that's true - no brainer!

Ugh - ETA - that should be "You CAN rent the pool..."

[jaysunb]

72. I live in a gated community w/ a pool and I've never heard of selling

"birthday sessions". Our HOA rules say that you can only have three guest at the pool or in the common area. But....if you are having a larger party, all you need to do is advise the other residents by posting on the community mail box and letting the management company know. (inviting all 36 homeowners doesn't hurt. ) Very simple.
I've been here nearly 20 years and have seen everything from teen parties to wedding receptions. And yes, there were a couple times the cops had to be called. As a matter of fact I called at least once myself.

But there is absolutely no excuse for what happened in McKinney.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

80. My community is definitely not gated :)

and I've lived in a few neighborhoods with community pools, and all had strict rules whether we lived in very modest neighborhoods or nicer neighborhoods.

[LeftOfWest]

108. What?

Explain the rules of these pools please.

All of them.

[peace13]

136. Another video explained..

...that the young woman giving the party had passes of her own and that she was given passes by other residents. I'm guessing they were from neighbors and friends. They were planning a cookout.

[gollygee]

112. We have a community pool in my area

not in my town but in the next town over, and people can buy passes to have a birthday party there. You don't rent the pool, but if you have 15 guests you pay a certain amount per pass and buy that many so you can have a party there. And I could do it even though I don't live in that town. It's a way to get funding to help pay for the pool. They could have a program like that going.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

113. I think we're talking about different setups

We call it a community pool, but it's a private pool owned and run by the neighborhood association and is closed to the public. Over the last 30 years, I've belong to several as we've moved here and there, and I've never heard of being able to invite more than two to four guests at one time. Sometimes, it is possible to rent the whole pool for a private party, in which case we have to pay for the lifeguards.

I think the teens believed they were invited, but I'm not sure that the by-laws would have allowed for so many, so I'm sure the locals were surprised. Add in the racist rants by one or two women, and all hell seemed to have broken loose.
I could imagine their confusion.

[gollygee]

118. We've heard more info about this

and you can look for the other thread about it - I'm sure it's still on GD. Some of the kids were residents, and they each had a few guest passes, and they each gave their guest passes to a few friends. They were totally entitled to be there. In fact, most of the kids were actually residents.

Here's the other thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026798379

[JI7]

79. it's just a fucking pool with kids , what resulted should never have happened regardless of whether

the kids should have been there.

107. Ugh. n/t

[gwheezie]

52. To me, and I'm not a cop

If the point was some kids weren't supposed to be there and they took off when I showed up, then my job is done except for arresting the adults who were fighting.

[uponit7771]

54. The black kids said they took off cause the cop had a gun and they didn't want to be shot, that's

... what the bad cops have wrought; another generation of POC who wont work with them

[gwheezie]

63. The cops were out of control

Their reaction made no sense

[jaysunb]

74. Wrong. The "cops" were not out control.

A cop. That's ONE cop, was out of control.
The others are subordinates that actually appeared to have been well trained.

[JI7]

81. if they were well trained they would have arrested the out of control cop

[gwheezie]

84. So how does that work in the field

I saw some cops act rationally but the one guy was clearly over the edge and armed. He looked far more dangerous than any of the bystanders
So what would happen if the cops in control disarmed him and cuffed him? Is that ever done?

[jaysunb]

89. The out of control guy is a senior officer. The 2 chevrons are rank

over the others. IOW, he's the supervisor. Not sure if the other have the authority or weevils to stop him.

[gwheezie]

93. Its a difficult position

I'm a nurse. I once had to physically block a doctor from entering a patients room. I had to stand my ground and he actually wound up battering me before security arrived. I tried to direct the confrontation away from the patient area but he insisted on making an ass of himself. I was thinking at the time that I would lose my job.

[jaysunb]

94. I see your point and agree it's horrible position to be

put in. I'd like to say I'd always take the "noble" path, but I'm a Vietnam veteran....saw much....did little. Bad position to be in.

[deurbano]

139. You weren't the one who created that mess.

You were another victim.

[KingCharlemagne]

101. You are an unsung hero and have my sincerest appreciation and

admiration.

May I say "Bravo! (Brava!)"?

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

114. You could have lost your license!

You must have had a very good reason for doing so. Too many doctors are another bunch with a god complex.

[gwheezie]

117. He was obviously drunk

I was the head nurse at the time. I could not let him make rounds.

[avebury]

160. Unfortunately, the ONE cop that was out of control

was the one who was supposed to be in charge. It is amazing that 2 of the other cops stepped in quickly when the supervisor pulled a gun on the teens.

[arcane1]

58. Right??? It's not rocket science n/t

[uponit7771]

53. They had passe to be there for a party but too many POC were there for some racist bastards and

... called the pool manager and the pool manager started making up some rules to get rid of the black and Hispanic people not knowing some of them lived there.

[yardwork]

148. Why do you assume that most of the kids didn't live in the neighborhood?

If all the kids were white, would you assume that they didn't belong?

Please think about this.

[uponit7771]

51. Anyone else notice the guy in the beige shirt not being told to get down and stay out of the police

... business

What makes this so horrible is the stupid people who started this weren't arrested

[MohRokTah]

57. Did you notice him touching those young girls, too? eom

[uponit7771]

60. WOW!! Creepy, so this guy was just going through the scene and being ignored. This is a perfect...

... example of how subtle overt racism can be.

The people who started the fight aren't arrested
The white kids who were around the same side of the scene aren't told to sit down
The cop runs (and does a barrel roll) after some kids needlessly

I'm thinking he was embarrassed

[gwheezie]

68. He said the kids made him run

He was pissed.

[SusanCalvin]

119. Exactly. nt

[tblue37]

157. He rolled after tripping over the long tree root. His embarrassment was probably one

reason he was so angree and determined to "get" the kids who saw him looking so ridiculous.

I guess he's nothing better to do while on suspension AKA paid leave.

Wow. The officer shown brutally manhandling a teenage girl above, Eric Casebolt, has his own YouTube account: youtube.com

And he has a playlist of “police training videos,” some of which are blatantly racist in nature. And get a load of this — Casebolt added the video of the pool party incident to his playlist.

[uppityperson]

87. That youtube page is now empty except comments to him. heh

Hi, are you available for private security? I am having a kindergarten graduation party for about 25 kids, age 4-6. It would be great if you could be there in case any of them get out of control. I saw your video, seems like you are the perfect man for manhandling kids. Hazard pay would be involved if a barrel roll is necessary. Please let me know

A little tip from the other side of the pond.
When arriving on a scene like the one with the kids at the pool party.
Cool down, get a grip of what's going on. find and talk to the adults in charge.
Don´t start running around yelling random commands like a headless chicken.
And for gods sake. The gun.. Guns are not little nice piggy toys.
Pulling that trigger has consequence. Just so you know.

Do you star in any other Dorf Goes Terrorizing Children videos?

I see that you've posted videos on police training, and your video of the pool party WILL be police training. It will graphically show how NOT to act, as a police officer OR AN ADULT to a group of unarmed teenagers in swimwear. It will show how NOT to run around being the only person in the video running like someone crazed, swearing and threatening children, or pulling a gun for no reason. Really?! You pulled a GUN on children in swimwear?! You're the only one in the video who was behaving badly. This video will show other police how NOT to throw a child on the ground, keep yelling at her, and sit on her back when all she was doing is standing. Frankly, you should first apologize to every CHILD you cursed, then you should lie prone on the ground, and have that poor child sit on your back while you wonder if this crazy jerk is going to shoot you in the back when all you wanted to do was go to an end-of-school party. Shame on you!

sport shirt? He looks like a pig and doesn't exhibit the slightest sign of worry that the uniformed pigs are going to fuck with him. Has he been ID'ed yet?

Creepy fuck needs to be fully DOXed at a minimum.

125. I wonder if that was their security guard?

Definitely NOT a life guard.

97. “Everyone who was getting put on the ground was black, Mexican, Arabic,”

<“I think a bunch of white parents were angry that a bunch of black kids who don’t live in the neighborhood were in the pool,” Brooks, who is white, told BuzzFeed.

“Everyone who was getting put on the ground was black, Mexican, Arabic,” he added. The cop “didn’t even look at me. It was kind of like I was invisible.”>

111. the beginning where the Pig rolls down while running looks like something he did

intentionally based on some action films.

115. That's horrible!

124. I used to live in McKinney - so know the area well

This does not surprise me at all. The farther you get away from Dallas proper, the more bland the suburbs become. One of the reasons I jumped at the chance to get back to Austin.

126. Doncha know? These teens are more dangerous than the Bandidos in Waco!

127. That cop needs to be on a list of never hire this guy.

He shouldn't be trusted with any type of weapons. He had no reason to knee the young girl in the back or pull his gun on those guys or any of the other crap he did. He needs to be disarmed and sent to some kind of counseling to control his temper. He is out of control and not safe for the rest of the public.

129. Assclown Cop trips over his own two feet, and then loses his shit

The cop who trips himself running around like a madman got pissed off (most likely as people were laughing at him for running around like a crazy man) had to "play the man" to rebuild his ego. What an asshat.

140. I'm thinking he was doing a rambo barrel roll or something like Blart Cop ... this is soooo

... the guy should be investigated

[Helen Borg]

138. Fire his ass! This stupid cop has serious mental problems!

[samsingh]

141. what exactly did the black girl do? it looks like he was assaulting her for being black

[uponit7771]

142. She was black and was in the vicinity of a racist cop, that's about it... the cop wasn't making any

... the white residents sit or do anything.

Also notice the guy with jean shorts on and a beige shirt .... he wasn't told to do anything by the cop... while the 14yr old girl was slammed to the ground.

RamboCop was out of control

[malthaussen]

145. Maybe she said something he didn't like.

Or used the kind of language he was using to children. That doesn't constitute an excuse, btw.

154. Fucking cops are out of control. n/t

[enigmatic]

158. In a very real way this was as bad as all the other videos posted of cops out of control

Because it showed just how one cop completely escalated the situation by himself into something that could have have incredible tragic.

I knew no one was killed but when he drew his gun I still gasped; that as insane as he was acting it's a miracle he didn't kill anyone.

Those poor kids. Cop should be fired and facing charges.
