The bikini-clad teenage girl who was forcibly restrained by a police officer responding to a disturbance at a pool party in a Dallas suburb over the weekend says she was an invited guest and was obeying his orders to leave when he grabbed her.

"He told me to keep walking," Dajerria Becton, 15, told Fox 4. "And I kept walking and then I'm guessing he thought we were saying rude stuff to him."

Becton was then thrown to the ground by Eric Casebolt, one of 12 McKinney Police Department officers who responded to the disturbance call at a private community pool Friday night.

"This video has raised concerns that are being investigated," the McKinney Police Department said in a statement Sunday.

"The McKinney Police Department is committed to treating all persons fairly under the law," McKinney Police Chief Greg Conley said at a press conference Sunday afternoon. "We are committed to preserving the peace and safety of our community for all of our citizens."

Conley added: "As the chief of police, I am committed to a complete and thorough investigation into this incident."

"I am disturbed and concerned by the incident and actions depicted in the video," McKinney Mayor Brian Loughmiller said in a separate statement. "Our expectation as a City Council is that our police department and other departments will act professionally and with appropriate restraint relative to the situation they are faced with."

The video quickly sparked outrage on social media, as many drew comparisons to recent high-profile cases of police bias in Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore.

Is seeing the #McKinney pool party a turning point for the public eye? There's a deep sorrow and rage percolating. I am... floored.

What threat did a teenage girl in a bikini represent? How can you justify that use of force? #McKinney

The National Bar Association, a network of predominantly African-American attorneys, judges and law professors, called for Casebolt's immediate firing.

"It is insufficient to place him on paid administrative leave, when it is obviously clear that this officer was not enforcing the law, but instead was enforcing his will and power and showing explicit bias towards these African-American teenagers," the Washington, D.C.-based group said. "The girl is obviously in distress and not in any manner moving or attempting to get away from the officer. She posed no physical threat to the officer."

Some witnesses in the neighborhood disagreed.

"He grabbed her arm and tried to handcuff her, and she was resisting immediately and she should've just stopped at that point," one white woman, who declined to be identified on camera, told the Fox affiliate. "They were just doing the right thing when these kids were fleeing and using profanity and threatening security guards."

Becton, though, said she wouldn't be satisfied with Casebolt's termination.

"Him getting fired is not enough," she said.​

Yeah seen it on liveleak. Just 1 thing even though the police officer could be right or wrong. When he asked the people to leave the white teens did. But the black teams on the other hand... Asked for it. I lol'd when she was crying for her mommy. - proud European.

Saw the video. Funny how he was screaming at the black teenagers, but spoke calmly and ignored the white teenagers. Dude pulled his gun out in a crowd of civilians and you saw an officer immediately grab at him. Shit could have been so much worse. Truly disgusting. You'd resist to if an officer grabbed your arm and threw you onto the ground while you were walking.

If there wasn't a recording.....cops woulda won this.

Yeah, I saw that. The force he used was completely uneccessary, he literally twisted her arm, and swung her into the grass. Then when people raced over to come help her because of his forceful, shameful, and disgusting actions, he pulled a gun out. On teenagers. At a pull party. It's funny because the woman that supports it, is white.

All the negroes want is equality, not special treatment but equality. Assaulting a 14year old black girl like that is wrong.

You know this happens everywhere else right. People in "Murica" is just smart enough to put it on camera so investigations exemplified in the video can take place. Your country's....

I acknowledge to some extent that the young black teens could have behaved thierselfs more better and in a more proper conduct. However, this is not and should not be done by a police officer someone we are supposed to trust and believe in. Pointing a gun at them was not need in my opinion. We have to start making changes.

 

[-immortal-]

Wow lmao

I am not surprised, american police are terrible. They kill roughly 1000 people every year, mostly black and hispanics

Just more confirmation bias. Who cares?

Exactly, who cares about the shitty police protocol? Just let em do whatever they want, they have badges man.

Exactly, who cares about the increasing number of shitty police protocol? Just let em do whatever they want, they have badges man.

Nice try, but I don't care for straw man fallacies.

The fact that this is a white officer against a black teen is meaningless, and bias.

This happens every single day with police members of every race and civilians of every race. But nobody cares because that's not the agenda they are trying to confirm.

Hence, confirmation bias.

I use to live around the block from their, TEXAS STAND UP!!!

And just to let you know this is a nice community that has 100,00 homes that most of these kids probably live in.

It's not the ghetto!

Even if you don't want to take this a racial issue(it can be argued that it is), this is still an incident of a police officer acting in a way he shouldn't have. He pulled a gun on a group of kids because they were yelling as a response to him taking down one of them and kneeling on her with excessive force, and you just go "Who cares?" Whether or not you want to admit it, there's an issue here, and if you wanna deny that just because of the fact that someone people see this is as racist, then you're part of why this problem still exists.

The fact that this goes unnoticed so many other times should be more reason to have the opposite outlook of who cares. You're just as bad as the people pulling the race card without warrant. "Nobody cares" in the same breath as "Why should anyone care", laughable.

Kindly read the thread title and information. This is about a black teen and how she was assaulted by the police. Its not about ''every race and civilians of every race''. No need to bring up irrelevant matter. Henceforth, i would like you to refrain from such. There is no bias here and the news article was not made up you can check multiple sources on-line for confirmation.

You just had to make yourself obvious, don't you?

It is an issue. Yes. But it is also an issue that the media would blind you to every other example that doesn't placate white cops against black people.

Nobody cares if a black cop shoots a white kid, because that's not the issue people care about. Police abuse is a problem. Civilian ignorance is also a problem.

The concept of confirmation bias went way over your head, it seems.
