The host of a Texas pool party that led to the suspension of a police officer says things took a turn for the violent when a neighbor began hurling racial slurs and insults at party-goers.
A woman identified as Tatiana Rhodes, 19, said that she and some friends had organized and were enjoying the party at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool on June 5 when the conflict with a white neighbor broke out.
“This lady was saying racial slurs to some friends that came to the cookout. She was saying such things as ‘black effer’ and ‘that’s why you live in Section 8 homes,’ ” Rhodes told E. Johnson IV, a photographer who recorded the conversation and uploaded it online.
More insults were traded. One neighbor said “go back to your Section 8 home,” Rhodes said, referring to a form of federal housing assistance for low-income people.
Then, according to Rhodes, who is black, a white neighbor “came up to me and smacked me in my face.”
“That’s when both of the women attacked me,” the teen said.

Well shame on them for crashing the party (if this is the correct explanation) but why does all this other junk have to be brought in. Can’t you confront someone for crashing a party alone, without bringing up some reason to damn them. That is how the divisiveness by Barack has got America at each other’s throats, and sadly the fault lines even pass through FR itself.
Not much Sec 8 housing in that area of DFW. It’s an upscale city of 150k.
I read that what started it was some teens crashed the party that weren’t invited and started a fight.
You can’t believe the comPost. You have to wait for better sources.
Plus there are HOA rules about how many guests you can have.
Has to do with safety; these were kids around high school age and slightly older.
From what I’ve read on FB, area moms are now conceal carrying ...
Maybe the HOA should consider bringing charges against the DJ who incited this matter.
Sometimes developers are required to set aside a certain portion of new construction within a development for subsidized housing.
Thanks for posting that FB post.
This is like the 3rd of 4th different thread on this incident. And each time someone is posting that post.
And it needs to be posted. The media - Fox News included - is using this story as another “rich whites are racist” incident.
And the “cops are scum” crowd is gloating over the cop taking down a girl in a bikini and drawing on unarmed teens.
Sounds very vaguely like a Poolside Version of “Black Brunch”.
I.e., yute activism that has the objective of “Spreading Awareness” via chaos.
There’s a story on Breitbart Texas on this, close to this narrative.
I saw one video where the cop in question did a strange ninja-shoulder-roll at the start of the video. Very strange. I though maybe he tripped on something, and managed to recover, but doesn't seem so.
?
have you see a copy of the “invite”?
The thugs came in response to rave tweet.
A woman, who goes by Keef_Cakez of Young KC on Twitter, sent the tweet.
And most civilized guests behave in a way that doesn't attract negative attention.
Breitbart has a different side of the story, says that’s not the whole video and the officer also d e rained a white girl. He is just on admin leave not suspended.
The news isn’t showing the whole story.
Exactly!
That’s what started this whole mess, tweet pic of the invite went out to —many— people, far more than just what would be a neighborhood HOA pool party.
Did the DJ get arrested?
I made the mistake of clicking on the link to read the piece. That was a mistake, given what I was seeing on there linked to that author.
Looks like he tripped on a tree root; it can be seen right at the start of the vid.
Maybe the long term effect of this kind of excess will be that nobody will believe the major news media any more. Even Fox.
