How do you know he was not trying to arrest her? It sure looked like it to me, and she was clearly resisting arrest. Arresting someone, whether 15 or 50, never looks pretty if they resist.
He was not fired.
I think you have it right.

She was clearly resisting a lawful order to lay face down on the ground.
I disagree with everything you say.When a cop gives you a lawful order,you comply(the girl).When you rush a cop from behind,that's assault(the two guys).As for the "judo roll" as you call it, he clearly tripped on a tree root,a tree root that is clearly visible in the video.Your post is snarky and silly.
The McKinney city administration,especially the police Chief,Greg Conely,should be ashamed of themselves.
The girl didn't rush the cop.
So cracking her on the concrete is ok? I reject that. This is not a rookie. He should have better skills to control the situation. He lost it.
Noone said she cracked her head.Cracking her head? There were no injuries. No CareFlite. No ambulances, no funerals.
While it might not look pretty on video, this was nothing.
The girl has not filed a complaint, so even she is not all that upset. It is everyone else who has their panties in a wad.
Since no bodily injury occurred, this does not even rise to the level of simple assault.
Didn't say you did, just say'in.In which post did I suggest it did?
And? just because they do it doesn't make it appropriate.
Police are losing the support of the populace. This attitude is partly why. Throwing a 14 year old girl in a bikini on concrete in these circumstances is not acceptable. If you believe that, you need to pursue a new line of work.
You don't need bodily injury for assault. You know that. Further you're assuming there's no injury.
One can hope...........Many citizens, including many black and other minority citizens, do not buy into this anti-cop sentiment.I think we are witnessing the beginning of a backlash against this anti-cop sentiment.
No assumption. Her attorney said she was not injured.
Great job on police officer to not cause bodily injury. Excellent avoidance of pepper spray, baton or taser on girl. Just used minimum physical force which resulted in no injury. Great job on his part. Just needs to control his mouth and emotions.
If every encounter with police resulted in no injuries and no complaints like this one did, America would be in great shape.
This one ended in no complaints? Then it wouldn't be all over the news.

What great job? Physical force for what? A veteran can't control a teenage girl in a bikini without slamming her into concrete? Wow ok.

It's on the news because right now black and white sells on our colored televisions. He did control her. Would it have been better to pepper spray or taze her?
Possibly she should have chose a softer place to stand and run her mouth while disobeying a police officers orders then?
and just like that, the "Chief" comes out in front of cameras, tosses his officer to the hyenas and they sweep their little problem under the rug and empower many more POS jackasses who want to raise hell and rush at cops while trying to restrain combative suspects
Nice. You've just weakened your presence chief, you just diminished any respect the public had for your officers. Now you have trained them to know you will buckle and back down because you are afraid of what you saw in Ferguson and Baltimore. Well, you go home to your pretty little manicured back yard and have yourself a couple of whiskey sours and feel good about yourself.
I am not saying everything the cop did was right, but it didn't warrant forcing him out. The real problem was the attendees of that pool party and the race baiters who want nothing short of criminal immunity for anyone in a confrontation with a cop.
"running your mouth" when you're not under arrest makes you subject to being thrown on concrete while wearing a swimsuit? is that the policy line you want to take?
Exactly. Without video, the cops would have been commended. Dispersed mob rioting at Pool club without shooting, tasering, pepper spraying or any bodily injury to anyone. How much better can it get?
It is amazing how one can spin the narrative when race is interjected.
LMAO
By your logic, cops are taught how much force to use at the academy to effect an arrest based on the bathing suit the person is wearing. And cops should find a bounce house first, so as not to throw them on a sidewalk and hurt them, oh wait, she wasn't hurt...
By my logic they don't body slam someone not under arrest, that is correct. Its amazing how that works out.
