It’s interesting how the media seems to be mostly interviewing the attendees of the illegal party, the ones who were breaking the law, rather than the legal residents. It’s all part of The Narrative
(USA Today/AP) Adrian Martin, the young man arrested outside a McKinney swimming pool Friday, said it scared him when he saw police Cpl. Eric Casebolt draw his gun and point it at him.
Martin, 18, is seen in the viral YouTube video trying to calm a black teenage girl being restrained by Casebolt, who is white. Police had responded to calls about a fight at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool in the affluent area of western McKinney, north of Dallas.
Martin said he doesn’t regret trying to approach the girl or running when Casebolt, 41, pulled his weapon.
Martin said he had been at the summer pool party for about an hour when police were called. “There was no drinking, no smoking, like other people have said there was. It was just a normal teenage party,” he said.
See, here’s the thing: that is a strawman. The complaints are about an illegal party, kids jumping over the pool fence, assaulting the security guard, refusing to leave when asked…..you know the story. Apparently, the Major Media doesn’t. Or, they just don’t want to tell it. Bet on the latter.
Martin and his lawyer maintain that Martin did nothing wrong, and that his only motive was to help calm the 15-year-old girl who was being aggressively subdued.
“So I shift to the side a little bit to get her to look at me in the face and say, ‘Look: We’re going to call your mom. It’s all right,’ because she’s shouting, ‘Call my momma! Call my momma!'”
At that point in the video, Casebolt is seen pulling out his gun. That’s when Martin takes off running.
Yeah. Sure. Now watch the video again, and seem him approach Officer Casebolt aggressively. Go to Youtube or wherever of the 7:19 minute video, go to 3:05, and watch. Casebolt, in my opinion, did over-react, but, then, I wasn’t there, in the situation. Nor were you. When a bunch of youths approach you in that manner, you react. Especially with all the fighting and failure to follow the legal directions of duly sworn law enforcement officials. Martin was charged, rightly with interfering with a police officer. Sadly, because of the Social Justice Warriors, the charge was dismissed.
‘Call my momma! Call my momma!’â€

“moving to help the girl”
unfortunatly, one of the moves he mde…in the perifery of the officers vision…was to his hip pocket/back waistband. if you have ANY experiance with law enforcement, you rtecognize this is where guns are most often concealed weapons are carried by gang bangers. AS I SEE IT….IN MY OPNION…the officer recognized a threat, and reacted…as soon as he realized there was no threat, he holstered his weapon. it’s a shame the police are guilty untill proven inocent..
Where is Liam the Word Cop?
Teen Who Aggressively Moved Toward Officer Was Just Trying To Calm Girl Being Detained Or Something
LOL. “aggressively moved” White people always interpret any movement of a Black kid as “aggressive”.
Teen Who Aggressively Moved Toward Officer Was Just Trying To Calm Girl Being Detained Or Something
LOL. “girl being detained” Pinning a tiny girl on the ground, smashing her face into the dirt, twisting her arm, pulling her hair, kneeling on her back.
the thugs were in the wrong, trespassing and not following lawful orders …. typical third world mentality and actions
Say, Jeff, do you go to pools in areas which are majority Black? Or do you hang out in your typical White Liberal neighborhood pool?
Don’t start none, won’t be none. She wouldn’t be face planted if she wasn’t being a problem.
Teach that former police officer has now admitted that he was was wrong and apologized and said he was sorry
So we we have reactionaries defending a policeman who said he was wrong
Teach she was 14 yo
The officer was using racial profanity
The other officers there also said he way overreacted.
Aggressively. That is like at Ferguson where the cop said that the person he shot 50yds away “looked like a black demon”
Got any vids about all those bad things you are saying happened ? The party had been going on for an hour
why are you saying the party was “illegal”?
The person who shot the first video is a white 18yo who lives there.
“don’t start none, won’t be none”
How cool is THAT for a person who attended one of the most expensive prep schools in the USA
Mr. Teach:
The police serve the people and the people speaking the loudest have spoken: the police MUST stand down until they have been replaced by those more sensitive to the needs of the people, or retrained to act appropriately. The media has shown us incontrovertible proof that the police (a clear overwhelming majority, if not all) are racist, violent, and have lost all legitimacy. The people DEMAND that a more appropriate and legitimate group take over the duties that have been usurped by these perfect examples of the oppressive white male.
I recommend the New Black Panthers. Just compare their amazing record of service to that of those selfish, brutish, and priveleged members of law enforcement. Seriouly, what could go wrong?
LOL. You’re so street.
Typical right-wing authoritarian mindset. The white cop is always right, even when they’re wrong.
desserttrash: You never disappoint.
Bull. Casebolt’s attorney said that Casebolt is sorry his emotions got the best of him and allowed his department to be seen in a negative light.
That is not an admission of wrongdoing. It is not an apology for what happened. It is an apology that people like you think that cops are always wrong no matter what.
Sorry, you keep saying that but that is another lie from you.
But speaking of over-reaction, are you going to address the death threats that Casebolt received? Are you going to address the death threats the police in McKinney received? Or the threats against residents who supported the cops?
Really john what the hell is wrong with you when you have to keep lying? Wilson never said Brown “looked like a black demon.”
The actual quote is “‘Like a demon, that’s how angry he looked‘”
So why are you lying john? Why are you distorting the quote? Why are you saying Wilson injected race into the comment when in fact it is you who are doing so?
Don’t you have the least bit of remorse for being a racist liar with no morals?
The party had not been granted permission as required by the HOA, john. That makes it trespassing, which in case you missed it, is illegal.
The party also had people smoking pot and drinking. Since none of the attendees were over the age of 21, that means that the alcohol and weed use was illegal.
You continue to demonstrate an incredible ability to lie, ignore facts and at the same time show a stunning inability to think critically.
the2 white women who initiated this whole problem and was identified by video has lost their jobs because of this. one worked at Bank of America
Teach it is interesting when it comes to judging the white officer “but I wasn’t there in the situation. Nor were you”
BUT when it comes to Martin YOU can judge and “Sadly, because of social justice warriors. the charge was dismissed”
see the dichotomy there??? you are more than happy to judge Martin even though you were not there
And Social Justice Warriors you say it as a slur, Martin Luther King would have been proud to be called that. Rosa Parks who broke the law by not sitting in the back of the bus? She too was a Social Justice Warrior. The moderate and liberal Republicans that helped pass the Civil Rights legislation in the 60s? They too were Social Justice Warriors
As usual, john is wrong. The woman was placed on administrative leave. She does not work for Bank of America but a BOA vendor.
Of course, the difference is that the officer was not charged with a crime and Martin was. The evidence supports the charge.
You really think that King would have been proud to associate himself with this type of “social justice?” You really think that King would have wanted to be associated with a bunch of kids who held an illegal party with the focus of hooking up with underaged teens that were considered “10’s?” You really think that King would have wanted to be associated with so called “clapping” which is the noise buttcheeks make when twerping?
You want to associate King with that? You think King would have seen that as “social justice?”
You’re delusional.
And for the record john, SJW’s are not in the fight for “social justice” or even “equality.” They are in it to oppress ideas and actions they disagree with under the guise of “social justice.” King and Parks would have spit on people like that.
More scalps taken by SJW now have 4 scalp jobs
the cop
the 2 white women who caused the problem and were using racial insults
and now some Florida high school principal who defended the cop with a face book posting
The question isn’t so much what YOU think he would or would not approved of, the question is would conservatives have called him things like social justice warrior in addition to the other slurs they used such as racial agitator and communist. And YES I do think he would have continued to evolve and strike hard at every form of racial discrimination. NO I do not think if he were alive today his politcal leanings would have been frozen into those of the 1960s
Were you in lock step with MLK in 1964?
Social Justice Warriors fight for social justice, got a problem with that ?
Your “playing the race card” is just an update on the racists who said they supported blacks “but they were trying to move too fast”
And you’re happy with that?
A principal was relieved (not fired) because he dared to support a law enforcement officer? You are happy with the the suppression of his free speech? You are happy that he was relieved from a job in a different state because he voiced an opinion as a private individual and not as a principal?
You are happy with so called “social justice warriors” saying a person cannot express an opinion?
That’s not “social justice,” that is tyranny, which is why the term “social justice warrior” is not one who fights for “social justice,” but one who fights to suppress the freedoms of others.
So you think he would be happy with the degradation of the black family? You think that he would be fighting for people to be on welfare and not have good productive jobs?
No john, your playing the race card is not about race at all. It is about your desire to shut down any and all opposition to your racist ideas. It is you and your ilk that look at everything through the prism of race.
You’re an immoral, racist liar, john.
Here’s what King said about you, john:
john,
After thinking about it some more, you should really be ashamed at the idea of “social justice warriors” in the McKinney incident.
“Social Justice Warriors” have complained about the sexualization and even the mention of rape or sexual assault at parties.
Yet this party was promotion “Dime Piece Girls” which is a “piece of ass that is a 10 out of 10.” Where is your outrage over that? Where is the SJW’s outrage over the objectification of women? Where is the SJW’s outrage over rating a young girl over her looks?
Where is the SJW’s outrage over “MakeItClap,” which was another party that was being promoted at this event by the same 15 year old girl? What does “make it clap” mean?
Where is the SJW’s outrage over the suggestion of rape for young girls?
Finally, as we now know, there was pot and underaged drinking going on at the party – the type of drinking that means women cannot provide consent for sexual encounters. Once again, where is the outrage for promoting the rape of young girls?
You may be proud of “Social Justice Warriors,” but they are not for justice and they don’t have the guts to pick up a weapon in the military so they aren’t “warriors.”
They are nothing but people who want to oppress others.
Congratulations john.
You support tyranny and oppression.
Progressives.
Its just a means to an end. They support ISIS raping and beheading and setting on fire women and children in the middle east. Yet in the USA they pretend to care about womens rights and childrens rights.
The Progressive left is a collection of smaller groups all willing to help each other to get their goals accomplished….so whatever it takes to Cloward and Piven the country and Saul Alinskize the opposition they will do…..as in Power is not what YOU ACTUALLY HAVE but WHAT THEY THINK YOU HAVE.
The left watched millions die in Darfur without lifting a finger. They were non committal when we sent our doctors and troops to fight Ebola and they were angry when Clinton went to Bosnia and help there.
Why? Because every dollar spent on other shores…..every thought projected out of the USA is one less dollar here or one less thought given to the problems facing this country. Its why they are such anti-nationalistic, religion denying, communist driven agiators.
Religion would force them to care….force them to help. Lift a finger. For now this collection of agendas all pay lip service to each other, all agitate for each other and all coalesce around one overwhelming theme……..The radical installing of socialism in America…..
And as Lenin said……..the goal of socialism is communism
