Dallas Morning News

The incident took place at McKinney’s Craig Ranch, where the homeowners association limits pool use to subdivision residents and two guests per household. Officers responded after residents and a private security officer called police to complain that several teens were at the pool without permission.

The questions are many: Did the kids come in uninvited? Did they refuse to leave? When police arrived, did they they mouth off?

Even if the answer to every one of those questions is “yes,” Casebolt’s response was still disturbing. There was no need for that level of force. There was no need for him to draw his weapon.

The bigger question: Would this scene have played out differently had the teens been white instead of black?

I absolutely agree with this. Casebolt's reaction was over the top and inappropriate.In fact, that's what the McKinney Police Chief said in this media interview, that Casebolt's actions were indefensible.
