VIDEO EMERGES OF VIOLENCE AT ‘INNOCENT POOL PARTY’ IN MCKINNEY, TEXAS

Left media is ablaze with articles condemning the police response to a pool party at a McKinney, Texas, subdivision. Now a video is emerging showing why police were called to the scene to begin with – violence.

Residents in a McKinney subdivision were hosting an end-of-school party in their private community pool. Many teens who were not residents of the subdivision began showing up. Some had been invited by residents, some had not. An ad for the event had been placed on social media sites.

Teens who were not invited began climbing the fence to get in, according to reports from residents of the area. Trouble began when they were asked to leave by residents and pool management.

Now, at least one video (below) shows a fight that broke out between a teenage girl and two adults.

Police were called to the scene and attempted to get some of the trespassers to sit down while they investigated. Many of the teens fled and police chased some of them down. This is when the video of the incident with police began. There does not appear to be any video of the initial police contact with the teens.

One resident, Benet Embry, a black man, posted on Facebook about the events leading up to the police call. “Look, I LIVE in this community and this ENTIRE incident is NOT racial at all,” Embry wrote. “A few THUGS spoiled a COMMUNITY event by fighting, jumping over fences into a PRIVATE pool, harassing and damaging property. Not EVERYTHING is about RACE. WE have other issues that NEED our attention other flights of made up make believe causes.”

In another post he is critical of media coverage of the incident. “I’ve never seen such irresponsible reporting and miss management of media resources in my life,” he said.

Another McKinney resident, Bryan Gestner, posted on Facebook, “This was a Twitter party that turned into a mob event. Jumping pool fence. Assaulting 2 security guards, attacking a mother with three little girls. The video doesn’t show everything.” He continued saying the kids were drinking and “smoking weed” and they would not listen to any of the adults around the pool.

“This isn’t about race,” he continued. “This is about outside kids invading our neighborhood and had no respect for authority or the residents here. I have a target on my back now and I have been threatened by these punks that they are gonna shoot up my house when all I did was try to control the mob and actually tended to the girl and the boy that had a bloody lip.”

“Yall don’t know the whole story,” Gestner continued. “I commend the officer for handling this situation.”

Gestner wrapped up his post alleging that these same kids came back into the neighborhood Saturday night. They were “kicking in people’s front door, stole a truck and crashed it into many vehicles. They vandalized dozens of cars and were stealing things.”

Yeah I think that's a clip from the video where the adult allegedly hit the teen, also left out by the media.

Looked to me the situation was quickly escalating. Lots of people amped up, cops way outnumbered. I'm not so quick to condemn his actions.

I suspect it would have gone a lot smoother if the kids that were uninvited, left quietly when they were asked to do so.

So the lady in the last video had a party that got out of hand when a bunch of people they did not invite showed up and started causing trouble. Interesting she did not mention that at all

The whole incident convinces me that the media is almost entirely populated by whores that would do or say anything to sensationalize a story.

That girl is going to have back problems... just sayin'

Whatever lead up to this is one thing.

From what I see here, a bunch of kids, all polite, calmly speaking with officers, and milling about until little Mr Rambo runs around manhandling them and using profanity escalates things.

I don't see where even one of the kids did anything that warranted that behavior.

The other cop around :40 was doing it right. Kids seemed to be co-operating with him, giving up info, till the dickhead showed up.

None of us were there.

None of us have a complete picture of the entire situation.

The only thing we know is what we see and read from reports - most of which are put into some kind of biased context (IMHO).

This is one of those situations where there "seems to be" plenty of blame to go around. But since I was not there - that's just an assumption based on what I have read and seen.

Ultimately though - this forum (and many like it) will be an internet battleground for those taking sides.....

And nothing good will come of it except hurt feelings, damaged relationships, and attitude adjustments.

And the beat goes on......

White cops break up a largely black party, end up in altercation with black teens. Black parents DEFEND the actions of said cops. Yet a bunch of old white guys on the internet decree their actions based on a cell phone video that doesn't show the entire altercation? I'm starting to think we need an "I Hate Cops" sub forum for you guys to have your little hate parties.

I have to agree with this.

I'll be the first person to jump on a cop for doing something wrong, but its at the point on here that there isn't a single thing a cop can do right anymore.

You guys did make it far as the cop pulling his gun?

Yes I did.
Did you happen to see the guy in the blue shirt rushing him, and putting his hand on his waistband?

Exactly.

The 2 girls in the background look like they just laid their hands on him.

Then these 2 kids came up and looked to me like they were looking for an opening to hit him. One guy, cop or not surrounded by 4 brazen teens, could certainly cause trouble for him. It wouldn't take much for him to end up on the ground. Look how close the one kids foot is to the cops.

Let’s put this in perspective. Two murderous gangs of bikers who’ve just been involved in a massive shooting can follow the police orders to sit down on the curb and stay still…but a bunch of teenagers seem confused on the subject.

It sucks to be a cop in this day and age. It'll even suck more when you need one and they do nothing, because everyone else(who isn't a cop) knows how to handle the situation better.

It's a thankless job and so many people don't think they have the right to go home after a day's work.

The guys with towels in their hands?

Who were in the group with the teenager in a bikini who was following the cops orders and was leaving until he decided to drag her back and wrestle her to the ground?

The guys who were 2 of the 7 people surrounding him?

The guys who were backing up before he even pulls his gun?

Yeah, I saw them.

So are you OK with his treatment of that teenage girl?

Justified?

Sounds like it.
