A Facebook post from a resident there ...
Facebook friends and family – PLEASE HELP! That (now viral) video of the officer in McKinney subduing a girl in a bathing suit was in OUR neighborhood. The situation was NOT what is being reported…
A DJ setup in a public space next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJ was tweeting out invites to a “pool party” for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood). The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down. The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with 3 young children). The first officer on the scene was by himself. At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were being very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived.
This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood’s side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. This information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies.
PLEASE HELP US STOP THE BROADCASTING OF THIS IGNORANCE. The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white’s only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE.
The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend. Unfortunately, the press and social media are trying to enflame the situation.
I am asking for your help for my family and my neighbor’s safety…PLEASE, PLEASE do not rebroadcast any of these lies.
Maybe this ought to be sent to every local TV station running this video.....but then again, I don’t think the motive is getting to the truth.
Instead, the motive is spewing the lie that cops are eeeeevil.
It rarely is. There is no honorable function to the press, except maybe to turn a profit.

Just don't count on government/police help when you most need it. Be careful, be gentle, be vigilant, and be armed and willing to use deadly force if necessary. You and your neighbors are now targets of parts of a lawless mob. The press is going to continue to inflame the sentiments, and the lawless ones feed their own justification.
As for the press, if you think it can't sink any lower, you're wrong.
There is an age old saying “ the first casualty of war is the truth”, and it applies to this issue.
BOOKMARK
This needs to getc messaged everywhere.
Maybe it’s time for a civil lawsuit of slander against the reporters, the stations, etc...
I bet when you start garnishing their wages, then maybe they will be a little more careful about their reporting.
Anyway if this is the case, then the neighborhood needs to lawyer up.
1) First file a civil lawsuit against the DJ to make their case
2) File a lawsuit against the reporters, the stations, CNN, NBC, etc and all the rest of lying rats that are trying to tell half truths and stir up race wars.
If the rats in media are reporting half truths, then the neighbors have an easy lawsuit for slander.
“The unfortunate result is that our neighbors are now being threatened. We have also had cars and property in and around the park area vandalized this weekend.”
Where’s the Neighborhood Watch?
Oh...there is no Neighborhood Watch.
Nevermind.
