Texas police officer throws teenage girl to the ground at a pool party

And again straight to race. I get what you are saying, but what is most of the crowd made up of that is standing next to the police and the police vehicles? So if the girl was white and got dragged to the ground it would be okay? It doesn't matter what race they are is what I am saying. What he did was not right, which is what I said before regardless of race. Did you see what happened an hour before this video was shot? What if a white girl was arrested before this but wasn't on camera and was unjust? I get it, that didn't happen, yes racism exists but its not everything. I mentioned several things but we go right back to race.

If someone calls the cops and says "a group of black teenagers were fighting", you think they are going to stop every white kid walking by? Obviously not. The person who called the cops could have been a racist but as the cop, you are going to be more aggressive towards any black person because you don't know who was doing what before you got there, and that is already walking into an intense situation.

You are also naive to think that a big group of high school kids were being perfect little angels and no one was drinking or doing something illegal before/during said events. Even if that wasn't the case, it takes one person being an asshole for 30 seconds to warrant a call to the police. We have all been there before and it only takes 1 person to ruin it for everyone.

My comment is more directed at how we view these videos. We don't see videos of black cops helping white people or vice versa but I guarantee you that happens every day. We like to find situations where something goes wrong and then exploit the shit out of it. We love to talk about but we don't do anything about.
