    It looks like the white teens are more open and honest about what transpired in McKinney on Friday when a particular cop went off on many teens that are NOT white.
    Teens speak out and tell what really went down.

    http://www.vox.com/2015/6/9/8747567/mckinney-pool-party-white-teens

    According to BuzzFeed News's David Mack's report on the incident, Grace Stone, a white 14-year-old, said when she and her friends responded to white adults' comments that the black pool party guests should return to "Section 8 [public housing]," the older women became violent.

    The police were called, and Brandon Brooks, a white 15-year-old, took out his cellphone to record what happened next — creating a record of the event that he later posted to YouTube, along with this commentary: "So the cops just started putting everyone on the ground and in handcuffs for no reason. This kind of force is uncalled for especially on children and innocent bystanders."

    So where's the record of what happened prior to that? You know like what was transpiring that initiated the police call in the first place? This selective 'media' is hardly compelling...

    In other news, kids are stupid... They continue to be stupid until they start paying property taxes, having kids, and paying income taxes. Schooling (i.e., "education"), only causes them to be EVEN more stupid. E.g. obama supporters who can not find decent playing jobs once out of college because they believed in the "hope and change", highschool students supporting high wages, but yet they are unemployed because they are forced out due to high minimum wage laws.

    Kids tout "racist cops" the first chance they get like the rest of their liberal teachers/professors even without know the full story... So stupid...

    So your entire premise is 'kids are stupid'. And that means the cop in the video of the event didn't really target minorities and most of the white teens are saying. Nice defense you have.

    And the video the one white kid took that is viral, shows many white teens not even looked at. As the one who was shooting the video said, it was like I wasn't even there. Even though he's recording the whole incident.

    What happened at the party may stem from a few racist individuals. But why should we care what a 15 year child has to say about appropriate police actions? The video speaks for itself. I'm still waiting to see evidence of racism on the part of the officer.

    That would be OT. If you got something, post it and start a thread.
    But I do believe my link did mention how it started, if you bother to read it.

    "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," he told BuzzFeed. He made it clear that he felt he was spared because of his race, saying, "Everyone who was getting put on the ground was black, Mexican, Arabic. [The cop] didn't even look at me. It was kind of like I was invisible."

    FROM the Link.

    From what he said in the video he targeted kids than ran when the police arrived. But why wait for the evidence to come out when we can all jump on the bandwagon and crucify the "racist" cop. It's worked out so well in recent events hasn't it.

    BS, that's not OT, that's asking for a real timeline to events, not cherry picked moments that can cast a completely skewed picture of the whole...

    You will never see it. You have blinders on and you don't seem to read articles of the story.

    Read the story if you're interested.
    Post your private own version if you must.

    1 out of the 3 in the video was acting racist.

    Well, remember it's always "blame the racist white cops first". That's what they are taught in school. After all, who doesn't want to be the champion of race equality. It sounds so nice. Kids.. yeah, they are stupid.. and the more they learn from their teachers the more stupid they become.

    As long as you understand that the kids were arrested for running. Didn't see the camera kid or any other whites running from police so your point is moot.

    Oh I read the "article" in the OP. It was short on reporting and long on opinion pushing. Please point to the evidence of racism by the officer. I saw a pissed of cop attempting to detain individuals that ran. Did he border on unprofessionalism with his actions? Sure but where they racist? I don't think so and just saying so doesn't make it so. Please point to the evidence of racism.

    Exactly. The race baiters don't care about the crime. They care about skin color. Race baiters are racists.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I've asked the OP in another thread 1 million times. There's no evidence. The OP stated "the person taken down was black". That was their response.

    Sickening how racist some people are. They see a criminal get taken down and they cry "racism". It's bigotry at its finest.

    On World News last night, they showed this video, wanna guess what parts they showed? Ok, first they said a cop is in trouble for his actions, then they went right to where he was telling her to get down and forcing her down. Then, without showing the two thugs run up behind him with their fists up, they went right to him pulling his gun out and pointing it at them.

    That's why I like Fox News, they show the whole thing. Fair & Balanced.

    Purposely overlooking the keyword there? I've posted adult thoughts on this, adults that were there. It's a pain to know this wasn't race related, I know, but 999 times out of 999.5, that's the case. Nothing racist.

    hey... it's not "fair & balanced" if you are trying to race bait. hahahahaha... That's why race baiters hate faux news :) Foxnews tries to give people a more complete account of things.

    I'm guessing that why the OP is using the skewed fragment found in the video, it could be used for race baiting whereas the whole story, not so much...

    "Black resident: This was not a racially motivated event

    Benet Embry, a 43-year-old black resident, saw things differently.

    Embry has lived at Craig Ranch, a planned community in McKinney, for eight years. He said it's a nice place. Racially diverse. People get along there.
    Embry: 7 'knuckleheads' ruined pool party for all

    Embry: 7 'knuckleheads' ruined pool party for all 03:16
    PLAY VIDEO

    He said when he was at the community pool Friday, a crowd of teenagers showed up, even though Craig Ranch's strict homeowners' association rules prohibit bringing more than two guests to the pool.

    The teens huddled by the gate and shouted to let them in. Some jumped over the fence, Embry said. A security guard tried to get them to leave but was outnumbered, so the guard called police.

    "Let me reiterate, the neighbors or the neighborhood did not call the police because this was an African-American party or whatever the situation is," he said. "This was not a racially motivated event -- at all. This whole thing is being blown completely out of proportion."

    Embry did say he was disturbed to see the officer kneel on top of the bikini-clad girl and wave his gun at other teens.

    "I may or may not agree with everything that the police officer did, but I do believe he was trying to establish order," he said. "

    Make it racist if you need to....but you were not there and this guy was.

    Wasn't the pool on private property? What to understand?

    Exactly. Video evidence, different opinions on both sides, etc... If you'd rather hear a skewed version like the progressives thrive off of, they can turn to MSNBC or World News. Just before this story, World News spoke about the Red River here finally cresting and how it is now receding. I hate to bust their bubble but I won't be able to use 3 of the main highways that I use to get to work for at least another month because the river won't start receding for another week or two. But hey, who really cares about the truth anyways besides honest people?

    Didn't purposely over look anything. I wouldn't have included it if I wanted to overlook it.
    At this point it's all speculation. Even the tweet someone was posting yesterday for one standing up for the cop. Personal opinion.

    Truth rarely has the necessary elements to allow the frothing at the mouth fanatics to push their agendas...
