Cowardly Cop Resigns
 

I saw that cowardly cop in North Texas has resigned. He is the one who pushed a 14 year old girl to the ground and then drew his gun on another teen. The cowardly cop was then restrained by two oher officers.

The 14 year old girl was in a bathing suit! Was she a danger to a trained police officer? Get his sorry butt in jail right now and throw away the key!

He wasn't cowardly, he is culturally brainwashed. Black skin equals evil dangerous person about to riot. This requires maximum force and if the rioting gangbanger group of hoodlums doesn't behave, a bullet or two.

White teenager who abuses sister That's a confused child who needs a quiet sit down with some talking. Black teenager with a bikini who is sitting on the ground, needs to be told to get her ass on the ground, then get her hair pulled, the knelt on. At least no one got shot, no cop could claim that he thought someone was reaching for a gun hiding in a bathing suit. But I don't think he is a coward. In his own mind seeing all those dark bodies actually triggered his subconscious to react the way he did. That video is the exact definition of cultural racism.

From the very conservative Dallas Morning News editorial

Fox's Hannity had one of the teen pool partygoers and her father on his show last night. Hannity was trying to get them to agree that two boys were coming up in back of the cop. On the film clip, the boys were clearly in front of the cop as he pulled his gun and aimed at them. Hannity tried his famed talking over them - but they stood their ground, made Hannity look the fool, and so he ends the segment with a comment of "some people cannot see reality". Yes, Hannity, that is YOU!

Excellent post!

Another isolated incident made national news by somebody sending in a video to a news hungry rag. And then because it is black and white the national media jumps on it and tries to make it another Ferguson.

How about discussing the other 99% of the police force that do their job day in and day out......and cut the race baiting crap!

I don't see this as a cowardly cop what so ever. This is a cop who most likely has had it and I don't blame him one bit. First of all , the cop was called into another possible riot situation. Everyone was yelling, screaming, etc. The cop was trying to get control of the situation before it got completely out of hand. Now when a cop tells you to leave, you leave. If a cop tells you to sit on ground, you sit on ground. The problem today is the kids have absolutely No respect for authority! (And of course that goes back to No parenting, etc). Instead of the President speaking to the black communities about following a police officers orders, he pals around with Sharpton to provoke more violence. The cop most likely got a bit nervous when two guys came up beside him and he pulled out his weapon. Yes he may have over reacted however how can you police today with what is going on. I feel bad for the cop but I do not blame him one bit. We have become a lawless society under this administration and that is who is to blame. Why be a cop today or join the military with limited rules of engagement. Look what happened when cops were told to stand down in Baltimore. This country is spiraling downhill so fast under liberalism. No rules, no parents this is what you get. God bless that cop for trying to do his job

Well presented position. I do agree with it.
What the arm chair generals and racists fail to accept is that those in "enforcement" are trained to react in volatile situations.
Those who have no idea what they are talking about can onlrelate to a situation where there calm and no threat and has time to evaluate options.
Wake up you sensationalists/racists/special interest promoters....you have the luxury of not being involved/threatened (real or otherwise).

Why aren't these folks who are down on enforcement concerned about how our special forces are trained> The enter a situation of known perps/terrorists and it is tap-tap-tap, three to the head REACTION. They are trained to react.

Why is this any different than the police REACTING? Because there is, for now, no racial or political or special interest gain involved.

As we continue to emasculate the enforcers whether they be police or military those who would not follow the law will only become more brazen and bold.

I would add to the quoted post above that the blacks or whites involved think they can refute the order being given to them. They know there are cameras around and seek their moment of glory by resisting the enforcers.

Once again, like many on this forum, in the safety of their arm chair, behind their keyboard, wrapped in their cloak of predjudice, race baiting and political bent....they have nothing invested and no risks what so ever....hence their pseudo bravery erupts in their closed minds.....until they are threatened!

Tiresome but predictable ... cop screws up, liberal media goes apes*** and fellow travelers and arm chair civil rights supporters continue on anti-copy tirade and emotional bashing .... eg as the original OP so perfectly exemplifies.

Left wingers never stop ... and will never be happy until we get to our next utopia with details tbd

Gee, I thought Civil Rights was the law of the land now.

I respectfully have to disagree with you. I do agree the officer in question was very much impacted by emotions and adrenalin and probably would like to have some of his actions back knowing what we do now. The video clip of that officer roughly handling a disrespectful teenager has be played steady for days by all networks. That said I think I heard about 6 murders in our small area here in Florida and none of them even register a blip on networks, and people really died. That disrespectful kid looked great to me this morning as networks interviewed her and her attorney about upcoming lawsuit. At age 15 I would have had my butt kicked up between my shoulders if I had spoke to a police officier that way.

Your darn right. My parents would have grounded me for weeks without any privileges but not today. Anything goes along with no respect for authority . and we wonder why the kids today are obnoxious. Our permissive society is backfiring on us

How did you react with your own children? Were your discipline techniques the same as your parents? If you have grandchildren, how do your children differ in how they discipline them?

Definitely, I am not saying you are all wrong in your reply but times do change. Our grandparents thought beating the children with a leather strap was normal. I hope you would not approve of that punishment.

If anyone had seen this police officer beat up his own daughter the same way he beat this teenager, law enforcement would be called and the department of child services would intervene.

We had a similar situation in The Villages when the fire chief was accused of beating one of his sons. He was fired and ordered to have no contact with the family.

I have to say your definition of beating is different than mine.

Thank you. Restrain maybe....forcibly perhaps.....beating not in the video I saw.

I don't know how such calls can be made from an armchair across from the television set! Maybe it is a big(ger) screen:a20:

Yeah, I would have to agree on the forcible restraining of the teen girl. However, it is inappropriate for a police officer to take the girl down like he did and then kneel on her. He is probably around 180 pounds versus her 100.

Anyhow, the police chief of the town said publically that this one officer did not act appropriately. The officer's attorney read an apology from the officer. I would say that the case is closed. However, a civil suit probably will ensue.

Any one who works as a cop today has to be crazy .... ie you can do 1,000 things correctly and if you, in the heat of a crisis, make a misstep it's game over. Plus the liberals and media will jump on you faster then a French revolutionary.

Best to leave the people to take care of themselves ... given that human nature per Progressive dogma is blissful, we all know that peace and light will be the outcome if we could simply disband all police departments.

Amen.

Cop never beat this girl. He tried to restrain her after she refused to obey his order to leave. Policing is a local and state issue, not federal so Obama, stay out of this. Stop undermining the police and law and order. This cop was under emotional strain having just dealt with two suicide calls prior to this incident this was absolutely not a racial incident but a cop pushed to his limit. I feel sorry for the cop who tried to do his job but in the meantime turned in his badge realizing its just not worth it

AND he has received death threats from the assinine ungrateful public!

We were disciplined as kids as were our kids and we all turned out well and learned to respect authority. The problem today is the parents want to be friends with their kids, instead of parents. Takes more work to parent, discipline, etc. Easier to give your kids phones, puters, games etc and have more time for you. Break down of family killing our society

I know you don't really mean the "ungrateful public", when in reality it is very limited to only one or two radicals doing their cowardly thing.

I always get a kick out of IDIOTS that think they know what its like to be a street cop. First off If he was a coward he never would have gotten out of his patrol car until more help arrived. Instead he CHOSE do to his job and tried to restore some civility to an unruly crowd and help a White women who was being assaulted by at least 3 black teens. (watch the hole clip before u shot your mouth off) Secondly I strongly agree as stated above people need to "cut out this race crap". The girl in question was yelling "CALL MY MOMMY" obviously a spoiled brat. Instead of resisting if she and others would have complied with the polices order to sit down or leave the area, officers would have been able to calmly ascertain who committed what crimes and why. Also as previously and correctly stated, "The problem today is the kids have absolutely No respect for authority!" I also would add adults as well. It's time we stop looking for excuses to fault police. If and when a cop does wrong he deserves to be disciplined and when justified arrested. However as we saw in Fergeson, Baltimore and NYC when the facts come out the officers that were blasted in the media were found to have acted appropriately!

Please explain to all of us who don't see things as clearly as you, how a cop in a very non-urban community was "called into another riot"? What previous riot was he in? How does a pushing fight between a white woman who told black people to go back to section 8 housing and a black teen who took umbrage at that racism constitute a riot? And much more importantly, how is it that this particular cop felt the need to behave in a manner which the approximately 10 other officers on the same scene did not? Either the 10 officers who were calm and interacting with the party goers were incompetent or this one cop was wrong. Completely different behaviors in the exact same "riot". Somebody wasn't doing their job and per your post God is not going to be blessing those other cops as they failed to do it per your vision of those black kids needing less encouragement from Obama and Sharpton and you forgot a few others to not respect cops. Damn liberals thinking black people should be treated the same by cops as white ones. My grandpappy knew how to treat black people before FDR and LBJ destroyed this country.

I heard that the police officer had just come from a suicide call and was stressed due to that - and I think that would stress anyone.

He has apologized for his behavior. No one injured. Case should be closed.

Your post started out reasonably well, but rolled over and then you gave us an inadvertent look into the liberal mind ... slightly off balance, insufferably arrogant and misplaced sarcasm that reflects on the sender vs the intended target.

Thanks for your contribution of reality and experience ... something the leftwing armchair quarterbacks on this board completely lack

Glad you phrased it as you did, because it is "on this board" that needs to be said.

It has been referenced but the hot heads on this thread won't even stay quiet long enough to hear another point of view. And ironically it is exactly why we are having these clashes around the country because people won't listen.

Prior to this incident Casebolt, the cop, was called to assist a man who was attempting suicide the man succeeded in shooting himself in the head. Casebolt was then called to a second suicide attempt with a young girl who wanted to jump off a roof. The police had a successful attempt and saved her life. Casebolt was then called to what was described as a riot.

The cell phone captured the moment. But Rashamon Effect explains that people witness the same event differently.

What I saw was a guy trying to do his job. what I saw were white kids who obeyed the cops instructions and didn't move. what I saw were two young black males coming at the cop and the cop reacted...and given what has transpired since Ferguson who can blame him . what i saw was a young black girl doing her best to resist this cop.

What I have read mostly on this thread are people who would have acted like those black kids who were defiant .When you get a guy like Mayor di blasio that shows such contempt for the police that he instructs his son that cops do not like black kids and will treat them unfairly we have long passed the age of civility and reason.

so those of you on this thread that think this cop acted badly well stay tuned because that old saw "watch what you wish for because you just may get it" is likely to be a reality.

This country has been turned over to the crazies. God Help Us One And All

Personal Best Regards

Excellent post ... I agree with the gist of what you said

Nothing more needs to be said.
The other side effect of what is underway is where, some....some....superiors will roll over and abandon controversy to remain personally out of the media and special interest target zone. All the more pressure for the underlings at all levels to be overly conservative in the performance of their duties...no matter the seriousness of the event.

There is something wrong when the media and even this forum spend so much time on the severe beating the young, black teenage girl took at hands of an out of control officer. (Please recognize sarcasm). I'm still very much troubled by the "white" family, including a young child and helpless housekeeper was beat and tortured to death with among other things a baseball bat. I'd prefer to see that every hour on all the networks until it is solved to remind us of the scum our police deal with daily. I'm probably not a good American but would have no problem sending the one suspect they have out of the country to be water boarded to identify his helper(s).

I am a "...good American..." and I say save the plane ticket and do what ever has to be done to get the answer....what ever needs to be done....like the old days before permissiveness and intolerane for anything involving enforcement.

And now we are seeing people being fired just for voicing their opinions. If you didn't see this cop incident as racial (which I did Not) and you voice that opinion, you could lose your job. Moving more towards socialism everyday as we lose our Freedoms of speech

No, not racial but definitely an out of control cop that had to be restrained by two other officers after he drew his pistol.

Cop was not restrained by the two other cops. He reholstered his weapon properly. Lesson to be learned from all this is kids need to learn to respect authority and obey an officer's commands and 2) Never walk up or sneak up to a cop while he is doing his job. Stay back, stay away and allow him to do what he needs to do to get the situation under control. Cops put their lives on the line for us everyday. They are the Only line of Protection between you and the criminal. If they walk away, your on your own

The racists, the race baiters, the cop haters, the special interest race groups, the arm chair generals with a remote in their hand will, every time elect to not see it that way.

If they did they would have nothing to gain....can't have that.

When the cops and other enforcement stand by and let a situation just run it's course and if some of the supporters get caught in it....MAYBE....there could be a different attitude. When the cops stand by and fold their arms then we will all pay the price....rampant criminal behavior.

Yes, these are rational rules of behavior and should apply to white kids ... but some (not you) seem to believe that to apply them to black kids is somehow unfair. in the meantime, the cops are walking away and I don't blame them

Has anybody seen this,



The Facts Behind The McKinney Pool Fiasco – Part II | The Last Refuge

...and yet, the fact remains: the cowardly cop resigned.

When the McKinney police chief stated that the 10 other officers did their job properly and this one failed in the performance, it is a fact.

I think his lawyer driven apology was just an attempt to ward off consequences of his inappropriate actions. I do not think race issue was involved but a stressed officer just made poor choices on a real bad day. A couple of days without pay would have been a fair punishment at the most - maybe just a counseling. He did himself no favor by resigning.
