I guess the two older white women that assaulted a teenager and yelling racial slurs will get off. The media isn't talking about them at all.
.
They found out the name of one of those White women.
Her name, address, phone number and where she works has been posted on twitter.
People are being told to call BofA and demand that she be fired.
Hopefully they got the name right.
Some activist group is offering $200 if people can name the other White woman and that big White guy in the beige shirt and shorts that stood by the cop.
The power of social media is strong. So strong it took down a country...Egypt.

Reason: opinion
Of course it isn't, but the media will use whatever words get the most attention. McKinney is only about 10% Black, and Baltimore is 64%. These were White police officers in a mostly White area.
Now, before anyone misunderstands me, I am not justifying what the officer did, especially when he escalated the situation by losing control and tackling a young girl in a bikini, but there were 2 sides to the protest. One group is crying racism and police brutality and the other is applauding the McKinney police for protecting the community. Are the people who support their local police all racists?
I'm sure a group of White teens would act the same way at a party, so the racist pig who insulted these young people is an ignorant piece of trash IMO.
Although there is no excuse for what this one police officer did, the other cops were calm and trying to get the situation under control. The problem I see here is that one cop loses his cool and suddenly it becomes a media circus about "another cop" and "a Black person." I'm glad the girl wasn't seriously injured when she was thrown to the ground. The grandfather visiting his family in Alabama wasn't so lucky.

I see YOU are the one who gets to decide which insults are protected free speech. Racial insults against blacks are not, but referring to a white woman as a "racist pig" and "an ignorant piece of trash" is.
Thanks for the lecture but YOUR insult seems more vile to me, but then I'm not trying to stifle YOUR right to insult someone who is committing CRIMES against another.
In the video around "crazy cop", there were only black and Latino kids. The only white people were the teen videotaping and his buddy. So, why didn't the cop bezerko over them? Well, if you remember the start of the video, "crazy cop" showed off his Tiger Roll that he learned at his dojo the week before and lost his flashlight. It was the two white kids who picked it up and returned it to him, and he thanked them for it before he went into freakout mode. The reason he didn't go after them, the only two whites in his freakout zone is because they just returned his property (flashlight) to him just a minute before.
No, the kids returned the flashlight to Casebolt's partner. Casebolt was already on his rampage by then.

This young man has a criminal attorney?
I also watched a 14 year old girl on MSNBC telling Lawrence O'Donnell the cop who was straddling the 15 year old in the bikini hit her with his baton and then punched her in the face. I didn't see that in the video and the girl has no bruises. She said her arm hurt.
I smell lawsuits.
I do agree with the lawyer in this audio that there was no reason to handcuff the young men in the video. They all seemed to be very cooperative and polite.

I agree with you. The other police officers that arrived at the scene were calm and handled the situation accordingly. This one psycho cop arrives at the scene acting a straight fool. Sporadic and irrational behavior. His actions and the actions of the other police officers are completely different.
