he outrage was immediate. After a video surfaced of a chaotic confrontation between teens and police at a community pool in Texas, calls for the officer's dismissal were swift and loud...
The approximately seven-minute video shows officers trying to gain control of a group of teenagers at the pool.
A few minutes into the video, an officer throws a 14-year-old girl wearing a bikini to the ground and shoves her head down.
Two teenage boys approach; the officer pulls out his gun and chases them away. He then grabs the girl's arm as he re-holsters his gun.

with 24/7 news they need sensational stories to keep viewership up.
Its really become reality TV with the scripting done in the editing room and on the net.
“Cruz made it clear in Michigan that he’ll reach out to union members as people rather than union members.”
Yes, just look at the thousands of union miners, construction workers, and manufacturer workers that have lost their jobs due to Obama government policies favoring Green business donators.
In reality, the union members ARE “just people”,
and a lot of them, given the choice, wouldn’t be supporting the union they’re forced to join in order to have a job.
It’s the thug leadership that needs to be despised and turned into a “common enemy”.
THAT’s the proper strategy.
Reagan won over union members largely on social and economic issues.
Its also important to note that some 40% of union members polled in Michigan, supported RTW. Some stated that it wasn’t because they wanted to leave their union, only that people needed to have a choice and the unions need the competition because they aren’t responsive to their members.
Aren't there some low-speed car chases they could focus on? Hahahahaha.

Except the "reality" is fiction.
Too bad the press doesn't get even half of the ridicule and contempt it has earned for itself.
I don’t understand how wearing a bikini and being unarmed means you can ignore what a police officer tells you to do when you are caught breaking the law. We also have no idea what this 14 year old was doing before the officer approached her.
This is a bunch of ado about nothing.
Sounds like an out-of-control, tough-guy cop making things more difficult for the competent cops around the country who know how to control their tempers.
I swear, CNN is actively trying to create riots.
If we would just abolish all local police precincts and establish a National Police Force under the control of the Department of Justice/United Nations we wouldn’t have these problems.

(What we would have in that scenario no negative press coverage of the police ever.)
Yeah, good cops slam 14 year old girls to the ground and pull their firearm on unarmed teenagers all the time. Sounds more like a panicky incompetent cop who will get his partner or someone else killed before all is said and done.
BOOKMARK
As a cop, thank you for your honesty.

Ol’ ladies in bikinis ... uh, never mind
Boycotts won't help stop them from choosing a narrative that fits their agenda. When will it end? When it affects THEIR communities.
They should try the at Barbra Streisand’s house.
I watched the video. The officer drew his weapon ONLY after he was charged by two male teens. No problem for me.
This 14 year old was standing around with several other girls and the police officer told them to leave while he ordered the boys to sit on the ground. There would never had been a problem if the girls had left. Instead they were shouting at the officer. Eventually they move further away out of view of the camera. Then the girl in question appeared back in the picture and the police officer told her to get on the ground. Naturally she refused and the altercation ensued. I guess the police should act like the police in Baltimore and let these well behaved teenagers do as they please. Responsible people in McKinney be damned.
