Excessive Force or Nah? Texas Officer Placed On Leave After Disturbing Pool Party Video [WATCH]

The McKinney Police Department posted the following message on Facebook:

On June 5, 2015 at approximately 7:15 p.m., officers from the McKinney Police Department responded to a disturbance at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool. The initial call came in as a disturbance involving multiple juveniles at the location, who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave. McKinney Police received several additional calls related to this incident advising that juveniles were now actively fighting.

First responding officers encountered a large crowd that refused to comply with police commands. Nine additional units responded to the scene. Officers were eventually able to gain control of the situation.

McKinney Police later learned of a video that was taken at the scene by an unknown party. This video has raised concerns that are being investigated by the McKinney Police Department. At this time, one of the responding officers has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation.

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution,  Casebolt joined the department in August 2005 and worked for the Texas Department of Public Safety as a highway patrol trooper from 2003-2005 and served in the U.S. Navy from 1993-2003. P.S. Based on the footage, do you believe the officer displayed excessive force? [Dallas Morning News, AJC KDFW]

    This has been all over the news in Dallas, TX which is where I stay and McKinney is a suburb of Dallas. What happened was a teenager was having a end of the year swim party at the community pool that is in the neighborhood for residences only. Some kids showed up that were not invited to the party. A lady (Caucasian) started yelling at the kids telling them to take they welfare, section 8, blah blah blah home and to get away from there. She was also using racist comments. We’ll one of the individuals started going back off on her (a 19yr old young lady) then they started to fight and that’s when someone called the police. The police came and one police officer the one shown in the video just started having everybody to sit down but some of the kids were not even involved in the altercation they were just walking by. He did excusive force on the young lady with the swim suit on that was uncaused for. The person that was videotaping this is a 15yr Caucasian young man and not one time was he asked to get down on the ground but all of the other kids were told to get down. The young man thought it was unfair and that’s why he posted the video. I’m so glad he noticed that and posted the video.
