I’ll be up front with you and say that this video is disturbing.
It’s like a bucket of ice-cold water thrown in the face of the dream world that most people are walking through.
Watching riots on TV in places like Baltimore and Ferguson, it’s easy to think, “That couldn’t happen here. All that police violence only happens in poor communities.”
Guess again.
This weekend it was the safe, quiet suburb of McKinney, Texas, about 30 minutes outside of Dallas.
McKinney is no gang-infested slum; it’s an affluent bedroom community with an average household income over $96,000 according to Colliers International.
(Having grown up just a few miles away, I would add that it’s pretty sterile too, full of big-box retailers, megaplex cinemas, and chain restaurants.)
Over the weekend some local kids were having a summer pool party to celebrate a friend’s birthday.
With that many adolescents crammed together in one place, there was undoubtedly some silly teenage drama going on. And police were called to the scene.
One of them starts off almost immediately screaming profanity-laden tirades at the kids, many as young as 14.
This courageous officer’s advice to young people included such gems as “Sit your asses down,” and “Don’t make me fuckin’ run around with 30 pounds of goddamn gear on. . .”
At one point throws a girl to the ground who had apparently failed to ‘get her ass out of here’ with appropriate alacrity.
You can see him grab her neck and attempt to shove her face into the pavement.
The kids all start screaming. Two of them rush over to try and help their classmate, at which point Captain America pulls his gun out and advances menacingly towards them.
They bolt. So he turns his attention back to the girl, grabs her head once again, and screams “ON YOUR FACE!!!” as he pins her down on the ground and puts her in handcuffs.
It’s really disturbing to watch.

Had it been a parent trying to grind his kid’s face into the pavement, Child Protective Services would have immediately removed the girl from the home and the father would be rotting in jail this very moment.
But when a police officer does it, he goes on ‘leave’. And only when he’s unlucky enough to be caught on camera.
If some random stranger grabbed your child and started attacking her, you’d instantly turn into Bruce Lee and put the guy in a Kung-Fu death grip.
But when a police officer attacks your child, the government expects you to just stand around and watch.
That’s one of the most disturbing things from the video.
You’ll see there are a bunch of adults in the video milling around with their hands in their pockets while the kids get abused.
I appreciate they’re doing whatever they feel like they can do to make the best of a bad situation.
But they’ve been indoctrinated for so long that their reaction is to be obedient and submissive. They don’t interfere with ‘the law’. They know their place and they act like it.
The kids, on the other hand, are all still young enough that they haven’t totally subordinated themselves to the state. There’s still a part of them that’s free.
So when the cops get totally out of control, their instinct is to fight back.
That is, after all, our natural instinct– to be free.
We have to -learn- to be intimidated and subservient to the state. We have to learn to stand around with our hands in our pockets while our children are abused. And that learning takes place in none other than the public school system.
I checked the McKinney Independent School District’s website and found that these kids all recite the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning, including that part about “liberty and justice for all.”
They sing songs gushing about freedom in America. But they just got a taste of how free they really are.
Hopefully that lesson stays with them. It’s certainly more powerful that an entire semester of the mandatory civics class they have to take.
After watching the video I actually downloaded a copy of the staple civics textbook Magruder’s American Government, and found a rather prescient passage in the first chapter:
“This nation was founded by those who loved liberty and prized it above all earthly possessions.”
True statement. But that instinctive flame to be free has gone out for so many people, not only in America but across the world.
And no nation can rise again until that flame is rekindled.
The textbook continues:
“To preserve and protect [their rights and liberty], each generation must learn and understand them anew, and be willing to stand up for them when necessary.”
Perhaps that time is finally coming.
Our goal is simple: To help you achieve personal liberty and financial prosperity no matter what happens.

Will you be prepared when everything we take for granted changes overnight?
Just think about this for a couple of minutes. What if the U.S. Dollar wasn’t the world’s reserve currency? Ponder that… what if…
Empires Rise, they peak, they decline, they collapse, this is the cycle of history.
This historical pattern has formed and is already underway in many parts of the world, including the United States.
Don’t be one of the millions of people who gets their savings, retirement, and investments wiped out.

If you will notice it was the smallest cop who was running around screaming profanities, pulling his gun on unarmed teenagers, and smashing a crying, 80lb female child into the ground like as if she had just robbed a store. In fact some of the other officers seemed to try to stop this small cop for a moment right when he pulled his gun out. These other cops spent alot of time trying to calm the raging small cop and the kids involved down while also trying to clean up the situation as the small cop was creating havoc all over that neighborhood. Another observation–none of the teens held, smashed or cuffed were white. Look up the definition of “Napoleonic Complex”. Also look up “American Empire”. The knowledge learned will help you to partially understand what transpired in this video

Youtube video.. “Look what happens when you call the cops” by Rob Hustle. Explains the militarization of the police. If I was a relative of any of the victims shown in that video I would not blame them if they prepared and systematically slaughtered the offending officers.

California, Texas, and Florida are the 3 largest populated States in the USA. California has about 35M residents and 135,981 prison inmates. Texas has about 24M residents and 168,280 prison inmates. Florida has about 19M residents and 103,028 prison inmates. The Dept. of Justice in Washington in 2013 has compiled statistics that reflect that 37% of all prisoners nationwide are Black, 32% White,22% Hispanic, 9% other. Nearly 60% of all Black inmates throughout America are there for violent crimes, drugs, armed robberies et al. Perhaps you have witnessed now in the Northeast Corridor of America that the number of arrests in minority communities is falling and the number of murders in those areas are concomitantly rising. Conclusion: Cops are tired of trying to uphold the law in violent crime areas, risking their lives and possible serious injury, and being admonished, suspended, or fired for their interpretations of the degree of physical force required to maintain law and order there. Look at NY, Baltimore, Ferguson, Boston etc to see the pattern unfolding before our very eyes. This episode in McKinney Texas is indeed shameful, however the film reveals to me that one white woman in what appears to be a mostly white neighborhood complained to the police about the loud and disruptive behavior being exhibited by “Black Teens” at their community Pool. The Police descend upon the scene in a Gestapo style fashion, invoking crowd dispersion, only to be met by black males and females who do not obey their commands, and the females are very confrontational to the police officers there. Numerous citations can be issued by Police Officers per their authority to do so, to any citizen who refuses to obey their commands. Any White or Black or Hispanic citizen [Male or Female] who disrupts, interferes, or invokes physical violence to offset police control of that situation is subject to arrest and jail time as well. We are looking at the metamorphosis and degradation of societal law and order in many areas of this country and have been now for the past few decades. Cops are going to tolerate less and less abuse and invoke more and more physical violence upon those they deem to deserve this kind of treatment. Crowd control starts with authorative commands, migrates to aggressive police behavior and sometimes culminates in hostile reactions invoked upon those who defy or challenge their authority. Look at the recent spate of arrests in New York City over demonstrations for Michael Gray case there. You could not pay me enough to be a Police Officer in any of the major metropolitan cities in this country. I suspect that this situation of classifying and segregating behavioral habits by police officers nationwide is only going to rise into more violence meeting violence in the Black and Hispanic communities.

I appreciate that being a police officer is a very difficult job. I do not understand this. More evidence that supporting the empire is not going to allow all people to be treating with the respect they deserve.
-
Wow, this got me hot under the collar–quite triggered, actually.
What Wes Texas said is to true. “…those who begin with shouting profanities — as if they believe this kind of behavior will result in some kind of control over the situation — are woefully unprepared for the job they are expected to do.”
Do departments know how much DAMAGE they do to their own welfare and to public acceptance when they let yahoos like this engage with the public?
I used to teach high-risk youth, and this is NOT the way to handle a crowd, though I recognize the philosophy — “scare ’em, make an example of ’em, don’t show you’re scared, show ’em right away who’s boss” Yeah, right. When I see that behavior — and I’ve been on the receiving end of it — I know I’m dealing with an inept, unprepared buffoon. This guy deserves ZERO respect. Same for those emasculated adults standing around doing nothing.
The kids? — why didn’t they do more to help that poor girl???!!! One rightly called it abuse. And those young men sitting there — really? Punished because they disobeyed an out-of-control cop? Maybe they just didn’t want to be abused!
Sooooo……when did abuse by uniform suddenly become Okay? (still seething)
-
Those adults who stood around and allowed the Gestapo like official to abuse the Girl are just as guilty. Shame on them and Shame on the worthless cop.
-
The desired end result by the elite is that we view police as ‘the enemy’, and that police reciprocate in kind. It’s all part of “Divide & Conquer”.

Dude, this is TEXAS. What do you expect of Texican cops? Civility?

This is why it’s good to have either two passports or a Visa that allows you to live somewhere other than the US; it’s only going to get worse in the US, as this site continues to warn.

I’ve had occasion to interact with cops for several years because of the business I was in. There are also four cops in my family, a patrolman, a detective, a U.S. Marshal and a Military Policeman. We’ve talked a lot about the level of professionalism or lack thereof shown in many of these videos. We agree that those who begin with shouting profanities — as if they believe this kind of behavior will result in some kind of control over the situation — are woefully unprepared for the job they are expected to do. It can also be a tell that indicates a certain level of fear on their part and smacks of desperation. As soon as a cop starts screaming “f— this” and “f— that” and “f— you,” it’s rather clear that they’ve already lost control — and it further inflames the situation and infuriates the bystanders.
What usually follows the profanity — or follows with more profanity — is use of excessive force. Again, the cop is afraid he will lose control or has already lost control. Pulling a gun on a bunch of kids in swim trunks and bikinis in a usually peaceful neighborhood means he doesn’t have a clue as to what he should do next. Maybe more profanity will help — do you think?
We all agree that this cop needs to find a new career.
I’ve seen a well-trained, professional LEO in almost the same situation as this never raise his voice, never curse at anyone and certainly never pull a weapon — who had, within 2 or 3 minutes, the entire crowd of people standing around him having a conversation — a dialog — asking questions and getting cooperation that got the desired results to everyone’s satisfaction. He demonstrated that he cared about the people to whom he was talking and that he was willing to let them tell him what had happened from their point of view before taking any kind of action. He never exacerbated a situation that required that he take control by force or profanity. It seems his kind are getting hard to find these days.

But they’re not hiring such gentlemen and gentlewomen as police officers anymore. They want average IQ (or lower), aggressive sadists now.
Welcome to the new normal.

Obama wants a domestic police force to do his bidding. He won’t get that with intelligent, moral, ethical men and women. The only way to create a police state is to hire men and women with no moral compass who are willing to attack, arrest and/or murder innocent citizens. These kinds are finding their way into police departments all over the country.
-
Very good point about the importance of professionalism. I’m not sure why we see more and more policemen/sheriff/feds behaving in over-reactive , unprofessional, violent ways when dealing with the people they are supposed to work for and serve. The level of common sense, problem solving, and language skills seems to have fallen among many police departments, at least from what I’ve witnessed. In my state police salaries have been rising at a good clip for years. An officer can now routinely earn around the 100k mark and enjoy a healthy pension after fairly short career. Yet the quality of people entering the ranks seems to be falling and the lack of professionalism shows. I see ads around the state for empty positions for police and highway patrol officers. The Highway Patrol starts their officers at mid 90K. Did it become that though to be a cop? Are there just not enough good quality people left to fill the jobs? Are we just becoming a country where just having good common sense and problem solving skills in an intelligent fashion confined to fewer people than the past?
-
Racism at is finest. Sadly this cop spends his days afraid of his citizens, especially the dark-skinned ones. Hopefully they kick him off the force, and perhaps those officers are retrained to realize that what you think about, you bring about – including racial violence.
-
I have no sympathy for a citizen who chooses (unwisely) to not obey the instructions of a law enforcement officer. HOWEVER if this officer had behaved the way he did in my neighborhood i would have shot him myself with a very clear conscience. Sadly good law enforcement officers will be lumped in with this yahoo.
-
Adding fuel to the fire. We know cops are the enemy and now these teenagers do as well.
-
I am afraid, and sadly aware that your statement is correct.
-
Anyone who made or makes a statement as to the
officers rights to do what they did clearly has a problem with blacks. I’m going
to say this one time and one time only. Mark the day this occurred
what happen and the manner in which it happen and watch the Karma of a 10 times
worst situation in that officers and or officers lives to do with
their kids family or loved ones, experience a worst tragedy in their lives.
This I can promise you. I live in Chicago, IL where
cops would never do or try anything of this nature. Why? Because they would
literally loose their lives instantly. There is a way to control a crowd, They
are the ones who are suppose to be in control and not panic. This is why people
get hurt loose their lives and suffer the consequence of their actions. I would
admonish Texas to get their act together recognize what they’re dealing with is
prejudice and some deep issues taught to them by their parents which is sadly
embedded in their souls.
Fortunately they will suffer the wrath of God mercy
will escape them in the time of need. They like others will Reap what they
sow! Acts 10: 34 says: ” God is no respecter of person. Meaning
what you sow you will surely Reap. I pity the fool who thinks otherwise. This is
the reason Texas will see tremendous suffering and be the 1st state to be
marshalized and controlled by outside forces and made an example of
Every Dog has it’s Day and some have Two. Texas you have Been
WARNED! Texas your demise has already begun, and will escalade
as time progresses. By September 23 rd you will no longer be heard or have a
voice. Your state will be completely taken over and many will suffer
unnecessarily…Again! Texas You Have Been WARNED!

i saw no one behave in a manner requiring that sort of treatment. that
cop COMPLETELY lost his composure and revealed his inability to deal. he needs to find other work where his personal failings are not
potentially deadly.
shame on the cops for being thugs to our kids.
if that disgraceful cop was my son he would have gotten a good ol daddy
ass-whoopin and been forced to apologize to that young lady.
to draw a gun in that situation? nugga pleeze…if that pussy felt
endangered he needs a new spine installed
-
From the video it looks like people didn’t do what they were told and that’s what got them into trouble. If the cop says leave, then you leave. If he says to get on the ground then you do it. In 98% of the cases, problem solved. Interesting that the black kids were the only ones in the video running their mouths and causing trouble, yet they were also the ones that thought they didn’t do anything wrong. No respect for authority.
-
And if it had been 30 or so white kids wondering why the police were beating on them because black so called adults (probably drunk) started to throw racist bombs (like go back to the housing project… but they all live in the gated community) at a group of “local” black kids celebrating a birthday, our friend Dave would have been just as kind to the raving maniac he is now defending (pulling a loaded gun on kids in bathing suits)… right Dave.
The outing was being supervised by adults in a public pool… all of the kids went to the local school… there is no excuse for this behavior.
-
Leave and go where? That’s not their neighborhood. Their home probably sits in some government project in central Dallas. No respect for authority? I’m sure you’re one of the many Texans who love our black president.
-
They all lived in the neighborhood and the “party” was being supervised by adults… nice try Ted… when’s the next white sheet meeting.
Get a life asshole!
-
its a white suburb you dip shit. they were invited to that neighborhood. read the story
-
Please define “a white suburb” in plain bigot speak…Oh wait, you already did didn’t you…
The party was authorized, supervised by adults, and they live in the gated community Teddy.
The “disturbance” was caused by two women who didn’t like all the black kids in “her” community pool and thought they “should all go back to their Section 8 housing complex.”
Two of the teens were slapped for taking offence (I know, THEY’RE all the same aren’t they whitey).
Cretin
-
If you’re offending a cop drawing a gun on kids in their swim trunks, you’re a fool. The video told enough of the story, how the police operate when their around blacks. An all white police force in a white suburb.
-
So if a cop demands you to turn over all of your money, you would do that too??! There are things called rights and, if you are not harming anyone else by what you are doing, then you have the right to do it…period!
-
And they have and continue to take your money. Civil Forfeiture based only on the judgement of a police officer and used by the very department taking the money. The recent case in Nevada is a good example of a citizen carrying cash, admitting to the officer that he was carrying cash, and based solely on the officer’s judgement was forced at gunpoint to surrender the money. Behavior like this results in a justifiable loss in trust in our institutions and the people that enforce the laws that protect them.
-
Lot of emotions on all sides of this argument. Maybe a better article today would have been talking about how the Feds are prosecuting people for deleting their browser history? Something we can all unite behind and agree is unjust.
-
But, to leave a 14-year-old girl face-down in the grass for that long? This was not a robbery or murder, it was KIDS getting rowdy at a pool party. And, it can’t escape you that only black kids were being taken down like criminals for shooting their mouths off, like teenagers do. And, I mostly just heard them trying to tell their side of the story or say they didn’t do anything.
-
Put yourself in that cop’s position. You’re called to a disturbance (so there IS a problem). there are 3 of you and 20 of them. You tell them to sit down and they immediately all take off running. It escalates and you have no idea what is happening. Guilty people have NOTHING to run from. then you have a bunch of idiot girls screaming at you, making a scene, SETTING you up for what ever they will accuse you of later. IF PEOPLE WOULD SIMPLY LISTEN TO WHAT THEY ARE BEING ASKED, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!! But the stupidity in this country has gotten so far out of control. Americans focus their attention on crap like the Kardashians! they blow off what is happening to them by the government and big corporations and find all the hollywood bullshit as being more important. I don’t live in the US anymore for the past 4 years. THERE IS TOO MUCH STUPIDITY THERE!
-
Donna should get the story straight before defending this idiot!
White adults began to throw racist bombs at the kids (go back to your section 8 home, we don’t want you here…) and called police when two kids went after a white woman who slapped a black teen in the face.
The cop did absolutely nothing to a single white kid… but started treating every black kid (they all live in the community and were celebrating a birthday with a cook out that was supervised by adults) like a criminal for absolutely no reason.
The kid shooting the video was white and he even said it was strange how “invisible” he was to the cops, who only went after “the black thugs” (my sarcasm not his words)!
Get a life Donna… oh, and by your comments it is clear you are a bigot. If a cop grabbed your 14 year old daughter (in a bikini) and slammed her into a concrete sidewalk I’m sure you’d be fine with it!
-
they ran because they were scared and it turns out they were right.
the pea-brained cop brutalized a teen, pulled a gun, threatened imprisonment to bystanders, and all around escalated a situation unnecessarily.
compare the first cops interaction and demeanor. night and day. the short loud cop is unfit for the trade. such a personality defect cannot be corrected
-
I completely agree Donna!
-
That cop needs more training for sure, especially in verbal skills. He did however do the right thing in regards to crowd control. The girl on the ground suffers from black mouth and got exactly what she was asking for. In fact if you watch the video carefully you will see that all the black kids are shooting their mouths off and the white kids are staying quiet for the most part.
-
what he needs is a new line of business. he is not suited for the stresses of the cop trade. compare his erratic response with that of the first cop who kept his cool as he took care of business. let’s hope he gets the help he needs to find fulfilling work in a business he’s more suited to
smart mouth or not i expect a cop to be more composed and know that a lippy teenage girl is no threat to someone supposedly trained for the job.
water off a duck’s back, copper…water off a duck’s back. if a mouthy teenager can send you spinning that way i SURE don’t want to be around when the real stuff hits the fan and you start unloading
-
I really think the issue with law enforcement in our society is much more to do on the federal level with the insane amount of laws and agencies.
This is opposed to at the local level where the cops are trying to do a good with an impossible job assignment.
-
Maybe a little PTSD going on? police take stupid defence
-
No comments here… Thanks to the guy recording it on camera.
-
Interesting dynamic in our country were the white kids feel empowered to stay and shoot this video. The black kids feel powerless and you can hear it in their voices on the ones who didn’t get away.
This does not excuse the “black mouth” as kchamb posted, nor does it excuse the excessive nature of the police. Just an observation.
-
We have no idea what caused the police to be called, their first duty is to gain control of the situation and if those involved OR not involved will not allow that to happen these kinds of actions ARE NECESSARY !
-
White adults objected to being “over run” by the organized (an adult supervised) party (it was a cook out).
The white adults began throw racist remarks around (go back to your slum, etc) and some of the kids got mouthy. A white woman slapped a black teen in the face (no arrest for that) and two very young teen girls went after her.
Police were called… and not a single white person was even questioned (even the one filming it all while the cops rounded up every black kid they could)… all of the black kids were assumed to be “part of the problem.”
Cretin.
-
ekim, you’re correct but did the policeman need to take his gun out?

” Friday night, a pool party in McKinney went bad. Then it went worse after 12 McKinney cops showed up.
Residents of the Craig Ranch subdivision called McKinney police after teenagers at a party at the subdivision’s pool began fighting and then refused to leave when asked, according to Chief Greg Conley. When cops arrived, the teenagers scattered.” Apparently the ‘party’ was at the community pool in this affluent neighborhood and the school friends (including blacks) were invited. Noise level and rowdiness among teens partying aggravated a resident woman who started shouting profanities (racial) and called the police since the community pool had been overrun by the ‘party’. Perfect setup for the raid, especially if NOT handled by De-escalating the situation.
