Bishkin is full of BS. Stevie Wonder can see that cop was out of control. Also the black girl he knocked to the ground was walking away like he told her to and he grabbed her braids and started harassing her. It's too late to save face on this so they need to give it up.

"He (Casebolt) does recognize that his emotions got the best of him, and that the prior suicide calls put him in an emotional place, that he would prefer not to have been there."

Bishkin said Casebolt was sorry to anyone who was offended by his actions, but said the viral video from the pool party doesn't show everything. "The video everybody has seen only depicts a small part of Eric's actions that day," Bishkin said.

Bishkin said Casebolt's actions were attempts "to gather information," and noted that in addition to putting handcuffs on the girl in the bathing suit, who is black, Casebolt also arrested a white female at the pool party. […]

Uh-huh. So his emotions were still in overdrive following 2 suicide calls he had responded to earlier in the day!?!

And his actions were actually "attempts to gather information"..!?!

AND I must've missed the part in the video where he dragged the White female to the gound and then sat on the small of her back with his knees!!

SMH….the man is patently UNFIT to be in law enforcement and should go into another line of work.

McKinney Chief Of Police Greg Conley:
"As the chief of police, I want to say to our community that the actions of Casebolt, as seen on the video, of the disturbance at the pool, are indefensible. Our policies, our training, our practice do not support his actions," he said. "He came into the call out of control, and as the video shows, was out of control during the incident."

Chief Conley also reported that Casebolt has now resigned with a pension and benefits.

And charges against 18 y/o Adrian Martin, "the only person arrested at the pool party incident, has been dropped."

No RWG. I didn't forget a thing.

By ALL accounts every Black kid there was UNarmed. They had NO weapons.

I have no idea where you grew up and how kids fighting in your community were/are dealt with(?)

However, IF police pointing a LOADED gun at unruly BUT UNARMED kids in Your community is Okay with You and the other residents/parents in Your community!?! ….So.Be.It.

Suffice it to say, I didn't grow up in that kind of community and I would NEVER want to live in that kind of community. I shudder to think how many DEAD bodies of unruly BUT UNARMED children there could be lying in the streets, at the hands of ANY cop in ANY community that considers pointing a LOADED gun at those kids to be an appropriate action!?!

UNarmed kids fighting—SHOOT THEM.

Wow. That kind of community has my Sympathy….smh.

End of story.
