US police officer in Mckinley harasses ‘black’ teens at a pool party

Share

A highly disturbing video showing a police officer harassing kids at a pool party has been making rounds on social media.

The video shows a police officer of the Dallas suburb of McKinley shoving teenage kids at a local communal pool to the ground and handcuffing them.

Police were allegedly called to the community pool because teenagers were causing a ‘disturbance’ in the area.

According to Brandon Brooks, who uploaded the video on Youtube, the police were called to the predominatly white suburb following a fight between ‘a mom and a girl’.

“A fight between a mom and a girl broke out and when the cops showed up everyone ran, including the people who didn’t do anything,” he wrote on Youtube.

“So the cops just started putting everyone on the ground and in handcuffs for no reason. This kind of force is uncalled for especially on children and innocent bystanders.”

The police arrived and commanded everyone to ‘get on the ground’. The officer in question then handcuffs a couple of the teenagers.

The video also shows the said police officer shoving one teenager to the ground and yelling at him to stay down before rushing to a teenage girl in a bikini, grabbing her by the arm and shoving her to the ground.

He then places his knee on her back.

Two black guys came towards the officer to help the teenage girl and he pulled a gun on them.

  1. And you busy hurling insults at your country when you are treated like trush in the so called developed countries

    • Maybe ZP must treat its citizens like this and i guess Zambians will be happy then

      Developed country my arss…

    • @Sponge bob; Racism exists every where. I have been stopped at least 6 times by white state troopers for speeding and not once have I been given a ticket. Why? because am polite, recognize my wrong, and respect authority. The same can’t be said about African Americans who are rude, argumentative, and have no respect for authority whatsoever.
      These police officers are under a lot of stress. Almost every one here carries a gun and cops are target practice. That situation could have turned ugly in an instant. Teenagers here are beyond disrespectful towards elders period. That being said, Zambia police have done worse to its people. I am a former UNZA student and I know how brutal ZP can be, so don’t even go there!

    • @ Sponge bob; I have lived in the USA for over 13 years now and I have never been discriminated against. I have traveled to different parts of the world and the USA is so much better when it comes to race issues. I agree the situation in the video is very disturbing but this is not every day life for African Americans.
      The ZP just arrested Fumba without bail for singing a song, that would never happen here ever. So miss me with ZP being professional. If you where denied a Visa to the USA go back and try again. I come to Zambia to visit my family only. I could never live in Zambia. It’s dirty, corrupt and the health system is for the d0gs. I make more money here in a year than I would make in a life time in Zambia.

      I wonder if you really live in America. Blacks kill in defense? Pliz search for the horrifying videos of the following killings/beatings on YouTube/Google & see if u can have the same views: Walter Scott, John Crawford, Tamir Rice, Eric Harris, Amadou Diallo shot 41times, Sean Bell shot 50times on wedding day, Wendell allen, Rekia Boyd, Luis Rodriguiz, Israel Hernandez, Chavis Carter, Sean Bell, Oscar Grant & Rodney King . What ud justify killing of: Walter King -Broken tail light? John Crawford- Holding airgun he wanted to buy in Wallmart or 12yr Tamir Rice playing with toygun by the sea posing no danger to anybody? Eric Harris had a case but shot for running away from officers? Many Nigerians want to live in America where blacks are killed like dogs!

  2. The mother of the two boys who the officer was shouting at is Zambian! As a family we are outraged!

  3. Ati American dream, malabishi. Only fit to live in the USA if you are white. There system, from work places to the way prisons are run. Only benefits white people.
    look how many black boys were cuffed in that video and gaze across the street, white boys from the same party…

    • blacks in America has a too easy, they kill a cop, and we don’t go out rioting and burning, and breaking windows, and destroying, and then they have the nerve to scream discrimination, now they have a Black President, they have the best jobs, works for the state, city and county, they are in basketball, and futbol and make millions as rapper..no more picking cotton, now the whites are the one that sits in the back of the bus, we are the one that gets up every morning at 5.ooam to go to work, we don’t get food stamps, and social security supplement, and Plan 8 “free housing” we the whites are the minority, when a black kills a white the News doesn’t bother to put it on TV for a week, we sit and take it..

  4. This story has a lot of inaccuracies. It was not a ‘community’ pool. It was a private residents pool which had been gatecrashed by youths who didn’t live there. Residents (including black residents) called the police, particularly after a mother was assaulted by some of the youths after asking them to leave and other trespass and anti-social behaviour. Suggesting the police officer just casually abused ‘innocent’ teens is wrong.

    • Story does not have a lot of inaccuracies. Do you think the police would have been suspended, and black youth allowed to go free if a mother had been assaulted? You live in England, so what do you know about life in America for blacks, especially black males?
