Seeing how they are our allies and trade partners, it looks like we care very much. You had to go back to the founding of this country to sling mud though?
Seeing how we meddle in everyone else's business throughout the world, I would not mind some pressure outside our country coming back at us since it is apparent apathetic citizens do not?
What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Or, we can go back to minding our own business and trade as well.....
That's what I thought........
LOL! Are you suggesting that the Brits are going to impose economic sanctions over this? They need us more than we need them.
McKinney is like an hour north of downtown Dallas.
Without bad traffic.
Hardly urban.
You are spot on.
This mess is all about entitled teens being somewhere they weren't supposed to be and then mouthing off/not complying.
No, the teens were invited to a birthday party. A white woman started mouthing off with racist comments. The kids were scared and trying to get away. And they were not mouthing off. Listen to the video, you will hear the cops mouthing off, not the kids.
Middle class or not, McKinney is suburban Dallas....that means it lies in an URBAN area! There are parts of Dallas that are far wealthier than McKinney is. Being middle class doesn't automatically imply suburban. Most of Dallas is middle class. And being suburban doesn't automatically imply middle class either.
These were older teenagers--mostly graduating seniors--at a neighborhood pool.
Where should the parents of older teenagers--mostly graduating seniors--at a neighborhood pool have been?
Hover much?
Obviously these kids need some parental supervision if they can't hold a party without the cops showing up. If they are so mature, then Obamacare shouldn't allow them to remain on their parent's health plan until they are 26.
Looks like someone was inviting strangers to a pool party in a private community pool.
We belong to a small country club that has a swimming pool, tennis courts and of course golf. Of course we can invite guests but if anyone invited an unlimited number of stranger guests there would be a huge problem.
Usually private clubs and pools have a maximum number of guests that may be invited.
There is another glaring error that I noticed in the video that I am surprised that no one else has mentioned. It appears that the police uniforms are a dark navy blue with black shoes. When the midget spastic cop is holding the young girl down you can plainly see that he is wearing white socks. Who wears white socks with dark navy pants and black shoes? That evidence alone should be enough to question his sanity.

A white adult started making racist remarks and the teens objected. There were two people fighting and the rest of the kids tried to stop it. The cops just made things worse because they scared the heck out of the teens. Drawing guns on kids in bathing suits? Really?
A white woman started mouthing off with racist comments.
Where did you get that from?
